Cheap Hotels in Lincoln

Lincoln is the capital of the state of Nebraska, but only the second-largest city in the state. This is the city where Nebraska’s government is based, but even beyond that it is an important city in the state because of the universities and colleges here and because it is one of the primary transportation entry points. But even though it is a relatively large city, residents and visitors alike appreciate the fact that it does not feel like a big city. Visitors are also pleased to note that there are several cheap hotels in Lincoln to choose from.

Generally speaking, one can safely assume that any city with one or more universities or colleges is going to also have budget hotels – and Lincoln is no exception. While there may not be a huge number of high-end resorts here, there are a number of cheap hotels in Lincoln. This is also the kind of city where you can find B&Bs, if you prefer that kind of accommodation. And if you are staying right downtown, you should be able to get around to see everything you want to without driving your car. Many of the sights are in the city center.

Lincoln is not a hotbed of tourism, so do not expect there to be a long list of tourist attractions you will feel compelled to visit. The capitol building is worth a visit, and there is a pretty public garden area called “The Sunken Gardens” which is definitely worth touring. Even if Lincoln does not have a big city feel, a pretty garden is always a nice place to escape to. Many visitors come for the college sports, however, so if that is something you are interested in, be sure to get tickets early – and book your hotel room well in advance!
