Built as a luxury apartment building in 1909, this inn has the historical ambiance and charm that is so popular with visitors. The rooms are spacious, the innkeeper welcoming and location is ideal. A small state-of-the-art conference center also is available which makes this inn popular for meetings and weddings.
Smoke free premises. 13 units. 3 stories, interior corridors. Accessibility (Call).
Pros: Loved the jetted tubs! We had been driving for 10 hours and the hot tub was a wonderful surprise!
The night clerk was delightful and made us late dinner reservations and printed out directions. We were so grateful
Breakfast was delucious
Cons: I was traveling with my 90 year old father. Getting up the front stairs was a challenge without a handrail.

Pros: The price included wine and cheese in the early evening in the public areas, a warm basket of cookies on our door at night, a full breakfast every morning, a place to borrow movies for our room, along with a selection of soft drinks and packaged snacks available on the honor system. We appreciated its central location, ample parking, the fireplace in our room and the jacuzzi bath tub. If you want slick modern and cookie-cutter ambiance, with all night room service, this is not the place for you. This place has modern amenities but is charming in an old world way. I suspected Abe Lincoln might be sleeping just down the hall.
Cons: Nothing. We were totally charmed and delighted that we lucked into such a cozy place on our historical quest of all things Abe.

Pros: Large rooms, nicely kept up older property, filled with antique furniture but also having most of the amenities one would find in a modern hotel. Simply oozes charm, an unexpected delight, easy walking distance from the Capitol building and museums. Linda, the lady preparing breakfast was very friendly and conversational, loves people and is a natural as the breakfast chef. The meal was nicely presented, fresh and of top quality. I had a meeting at their conference facility on the property and enjoyed some coffee in the large living room while reviewing my work materials. Why would anyone stay in a regular hotel when you could stay at this place? An added bonus was listening to the trains passing through town about six blocks away, blowing their horn at each crossing. Very nostalgic for me.
Cons: The room didn't have a good place to store the ironing board. I found it under the king size bed and later found that I had ironed into my slacks some dirt that had accumulated on the board. I should have run a damp rag over it first. I can't think of anything else that wasn't great.

Pros: There is nothing to be improved on. I stayed in "Lily" on the 3rd floor. There is an outside veranda (not private, shared with one other room), a super large Jacuzzi, variety of pillows from soft/fluffy to firmer, and a comfy queen bed. The building is well maintained and full of beautiful furnishings. The happy hour had three wines (Merlot was smooth and lovely), three different cheeses and crackers all included with the reservation. Staff was accommodating, friendly but not intrusive. Located on South 2nd street just a few blocks from the Capitol and walking distance to many interests. Very pleased to have found this one of a kind historic B and B.

Pros: The home made cookies every evening were the best part of the stay
Cons: It was totally impersonal - we hardly saw the same staff member twice and while they were courteous they were completely disinterested. The decor is dated and dowdy and the breakfasts were somewhat chaotic e.g. when I asked for a bigger spoon than a teaspoon to have some cereal I was told we don't have bigger spoons.

Pros: The Rose suite was very comfortable, and we enjoyed chatting with other guests over the afternoon wine and cheese. The location of the Inn is convenient to many attractions, especially the Lincoln historic sites. Staff were most helpful. Overall, an excellent stay.
Cons: There was a booking mistake that we discovered at check-in but the young lady at the reception desk straightened things out to our satisfaction. As I understand it, the online bookings do not always reconcile with bookings made by other means.
The noise from trains is frequent and noticeable. Light sleepers might want to have earplugs.
