Lincoln's BEST Kept Secret? Comfort Suites North! (Luxury on a Budget!)
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea (and maybe a little continental breakfast buffet) about Lincoln's BEST Kept Secret? Comfort Suites North! (Luxury on a Budget!). I'm not just gonna give you a dry, corporate review. Oh no. I'm going to tell you what it's really like, the good, the maybe-not-so-good, and the "hold-my-mimosa" moments.
First Impressions: Location, Location, Location…and That Free Parking
Listen, I'm a sucker for a hotel that doesn't make you feel like you're getting gouged the second you pull in. Comfort Suites North? Boom. Free parking. A small victory, but a victory nonetheless! It's conveniently located, which, honestly, is a huge plus. I hate driving around for hours when I just want to check in and chill. You know? Accessibility is top-notch, with elevator access and facilities for disabled guests. Everything's been thought of. It's a win.
Rooms: More Than Just a Bed (Thank Goodness!)
Okay, let's talk rooms. I’m a sucker for that air conditioning blasting the moment I step inside. bliss. They're pretty standard Comfort Suites fare, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I particularly appreciated the extra-long bed (perfect for my gangly frame) and the fact that the Wi-Fi [free] actually worked. Crucial. And the blackout curtains? Chef's kiss. They're a godsend when you're trying to sleep off a too-enthusiastic exploration of a new town. The in-room safe box is a comforting touch, too, you know, for your passport and…your emergency chocolate stash. (Don't judge.)
- What I loved: The comfy bed, free Wi-Fi, no creepy hotel art.
- What could be better: I'm always a fan of those super-plush robes.
Cleanliness and Safety: Because Germs are Not My Friends
Listen, in this day and age, cleanliness is paramount. And Comfort Suites North seems to get it. They're clearly taking things seriously. I saw evidence of daily disinfection in common areas, and the rooms are sanitized between stays. They seem to be using anti-viral cleaning products, which is a major relief. They even have hand sanitizer stations everywhere. I'm a germaphobe's little sister, and this really put me at ease. The staff is also trained in safety protocol, which is reassuring. It’s a comfort.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Breakfast Buffets and the Afterglow
Alright, let's talk food. The breakfast [buffet]? It's included, and that’s a win in my book! It's the classic spread: eggs, sausage, waffles, cereal, fruit…the stuff of champions, really. And the coffee/tea in restaurant! Okay I am a bit of a coffee snob. but you are not going to be disappointed. They also offer a breakfast takeaway service, which I used one day when I was running late for something. No complaints! The coffee shop is great, too. I didn't check it for meals like the Asian cuisine in restaurant or the Vegetarian restaurant or the Western cuisine in restaurant because like the sloth in the movie, I just wanted to eat what was in front of me.
- My most memorable meal: … the breakfast buffet. Okay, okay, I know it's not Michelin-star quality, but there's a certain comfort to a perfectly-acceptable waffle after a long night’s stay.
- Quirky Observation: The staff seems genuinely happy to see you. I am such a sucker for good customer service! You know?
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
Comfort Suites North hits the mark on the little things that make a big difference. Daily housekeeping? Yes, please! Laundry service? Perfect for when I inevitably spill something on my favorite travel shirt. They even have a convenience store in case you forget your toothbrush (or, you know, need a late-night snack). The front desk [24-hour] is a huge plus, you know, for those late-night check-ins or early-morning checkout hiccups.
- Annoying detail: Nothing that major. It's pretty smooth sailing.
- Hidden Gem: the elevator. Okay not a gem per se but it's nice when you are dragging your luggage around.
Things to Do and Ways to Relax: Chill Vibes or Full-On Spa Day? So, relaxation. Let’s be honest, I'm not a spa person. But they have a swimming pool, and a swimming pool [outdoor]! I did not see that one, which is a bummer. Anyway, you can also hit the Fitness center, they have a Gym/fitness, which is great. The pool with view, is a wonderful option if you are not a fan of the gym. Getting Around: Airport transfer and taxi service!
For the Kids (and the Kid in All of Us):
I'm not traveling with little ones, but they're clearly family/child friendly. I noticed kids facilities and they have a babysitting service.
The Verdict: Is It Worth It?
Absolutely. Comfort Suites North is not just "luxury on a budget," it's smart travel. It’s clean, comfortable, convenient, and the staff is friendly. It delivers everything you need and doesn't break the bank. They deliver a good experience. I give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

Haltom Inn Fort Worth: Your Dream Fort Worth Getaway Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's itinerary. This is my itinerary. And it's gonna be a glorious, chaotic, potentially-carb-loaded mess. We're talking a trip to Lincoln, Nebraska, specifically holed up at the Comfort Suites Lincoln North. Don't ask why, okay? Just go with it.
Day 1: Entry, Existential Dread, and Questionable Pizza
- 1:00 PM: Arrival. (Or, The Triumph of Finding the Damn Hotel). Okay, first things first: finding the Comfort Suites. My GPS, bless its digital heart, decided to add a scenic, very scenic, tour of Lincoln's backroads before finally, finally spitting me out at the hotel. Seriously, I think I saw more cows than humans during that detour. I am already mentally exhausted, despite the fact that I've done absolutely nothing. Sigh.
- 1:30 PM: Check-in. (AKA, The First Human Interaction of the Day). The front desk person was… fine. Perfectly polite, but I swear I detect a subtle eye roll when I fumble for my ID. I mean, who am I kidding? I probably look like a hot mess after the navigation adventure. Got my key, headed to the room and I was immediately relieved. It's clean, the air conditioner works, and the bed looks incredibly inviting. I feel a nap coming on.
- 2:00 PM: Nap. (The Sanctuary). Seriously, I'd been looking forward to this for weeks. The sun, the soft sheets, the quiet (hopefully). Woke up an hour later feeling slightly less like a zombie.
- 3:00 PM: Grocery store run (The Quest for Snacks). This is where I realized that I had forgotten to pack any snacks (other than the sad, stale granola bars I found at the bottom of my purse.). I am a creature of habit and I NEED MY POPCORN. Off to the local grocery store in search of salty, crunchy joy. Also, maybe some water.
- 4:00 PM: Pizza. (The Decision I Already Regret). Okay, this is the first truly questionable decision. I was starving and convinced that I could handle the local pizza joint's "signature" deep-dish. Wrong. Dear god, was I wrong. It was… edible? Kind of? Mostly just a giant bread bowl filled with cheese. The grease made my stomach churn, and I may or may not have considered ordering a salad to offset the damage. This is not a good sign.
- 6:00 PM: Room Regret. (The Great Pizza Debacle). I don't know why, but I am filled with a burning regret for my pizza of questionable quality. This is probably an overreaction. At least the TV works.
- 7:00 PM: TV Sloth (The Black Hole of Entertainment). I've lost myself in the abyss of late-night cable. Nothing is particularly interesting, but the flashing lights and continuous stream of advertisements are strangely comforting.
- 9:00 PM: Bed Time (The Anticipation of Sleep). I am going to need a good night's sleep after this pizza disaster. Fingers crossed I don't wake up in the middle of the night from my stomach screaming.
Day 2: Embrace the Unexpected and Try Not to Panic
- 7:00 AM: Wake Up (The Moment of Truth). I lived! Survived the night! Stomach slightly protesting the previous day's pizza escapade, but I'm still here. Success?
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast. (The Free Food Frenzy). Free breakfast, baby! Let's see… waffles, sausage, maybe some sad-looking fruit. I take the waffle, which is glorious, and then I'm off.
- 9:00 AM: Plan of attack (Get organized!). I had been thinking I'd go to the zoo, but the weather report is telling me there will be a thunderstorm. My existential dread for the day has only just begun and I'm already losing hope.
- 9:30 AM: Back to the room (Avoiding the elements). I go back, I think, in preparation for… something.
- 10:00 AM: Library (I'm lost). I am here as a form of self-care, despite my lack of any direction.
- 11:00 AM: Coffee (The Elixir of Life). I was able to calm my nerves and get a coffee from the little cafe in the library.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. (The Redemption). I found a little sandwich shop nearby, and their BLT with avocado was a masterpiece. Food victory!
- 1:00 PM: Museum? (Maybe?). The museum is open, and I'm here.
- 2:00 PM: Museum (Oh, the history!). The museum was amazing. I spent hours immersed, and I actually feel invigorated and energized. This is the highlight of my trip.
- 4:00 PM: Back to the hotel (The post-museum slump). This part is tough. It's the part where I start to overthink things. Back to the room, alone with my thoughts…
- 5:00 PM: Dinner (The Salad Savior). I am thinking a salad. And maybe some soup!
- 6:00 PM: Hotel pool (The splashy oblivion). I am by myself, splashing around in the hotel pool, completely alone with myself. I am at peace.
- 8:00 PM: Book (The sweet embrace of paper). I'm looking for a good book to lose myself in.
Day 3: Departure (The bittersweet farewell)
- 7:00 AM: Waking up in a state of peace. I feel good! I was able to get my own breakfast with my own hands and I am going to be okay.
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast (The Final Feast). I decide on a final breakfast before getting ready to go.
- 9:00 AM: Packing (The art of not overpacking). This is a task I detest, but I have to do it. I'm really good at it.
- 10:00 AM: Check out (The final eye roll). I head to the front desk, and there is a new employee. I am getting my stuff and getting out.
- 11:00 AM: Leaving Lincoln (Fare thee well). I got the car and I'm going home. I'm ready to go home.
- 12:00 PM: On the road (The Great Escape). I'm driving home! I'll plan my next adventure soon.
Okay, so there you have it. My unfiltered, slightly neurotic, and probably pizza-fueled journey. Hopefully, it gave you a chuckle or two. And remember: sometimes, the best trips are the messy ones. Now, I'm off to find some real food. Wish me luck.
Escape to Paradise: Simply Life Hotel, Taiwan Awaits
Is Comfort Suites North REALLY a "best kept secret"? Sounds like marketing hype.
Alright, alright, I get it. "Best kept secret" is a *serious* claim. Honestly? *Yes*, and *no*. Okay, hear me out. It's not secret in the sense that you need a mystical map or a password to get in. But people *underestimate* this place! I've lived in Lincoln for a while now, and I can't tell you how many times people have been like, "Oh, yeah, the Comfort Suites? It's okay." Okay?! Okay is BORING! This place consistently punches above its weight class. Like, it's a budget-friendly hotel, playing in the luxury league. That's a secret worth keeping, right? I mean, my friends and I have been saying it for years - it really is underrated... until *now* apparently, because I'm writing about it. Oops!
What's *actually* luxurious about a Comfort Suites? Budget hotels feel... well, budget.
Okay, this is where things get interesting. *Luxury on a budget* is a tricky tightrope walk, but Comfort Suites North nails it. First off, the suites are HUGE! Seriously, you could probably have a small dance party in the living room. I stayed there with my family a few times and it felt like everyone had their own space, it was awesome. I'm claustrophobic and this place gave me space to BREATHE. The beds? Cloud-like, no joke. I've slept in some hotels where the mattress felt like it was made of granite, but here? Heaven. And the *details*. They actually care. The toiletries aren't the cheap, awful stuff that dries out your skin. They've got, like, legit good shampoo and conditioner! And the breakfast? Okay, that's where the *budget* part comes in, but for the cost, the breakfast is awesome; waffles, fruit, yogurt, eggs--a whole spread! It's not a Michelin-star brunch, but hey, it's included, and it's decent. And the pool area, oh, the pool area...it's a great place to chill, a perfect way to relax. It's the little things that make all the difference, man. I'm a sucker for a good hotel room, and this place really delivers.
But the breakfast...is it *really* good? I’ve been burned by hotel breakfasts before.
Alright, alright, I understand the breakfast trauma. I *get* it. Stale bagels, watery coffee, and vaguely rubbery eggs? I've been there, *we've all been there*. But the Comfort Suites North breakfast? It's... dependable. Look, it's not room service at the Ritz. We can't compare them--they're in totally different leagues. But it's a solid starting point for your day. The waffles *are* pretty darn good, though. And the coffee is drinkable! (A major win, in my book). Plus, they always have a variety of fruit, and yogurt. It's nothing that'll blow your mind, but it'll get you fed and fueled up to take on the day. Honestly, I’ve had worse at places that charge *way* more. I'd say the best part of the breakfast is that it's *free* and convenient. And hey, if you're feeling fancy, you can always sneak some extra waffles back to your room for later. No judgement here! (wink)
What about the location? Is it convenient?
The location is pretty much *perfect*. It's right off the highway, which is fantastic for travelers. You can zip in and out without having to deal with a lot of city traffic. There's a good selection of restaurants nearby, everything from fast food to sit-down places. I mean I love the location..It's close to shopping. Seriously, being able to grab a quick bite or run an errand without a huge hassle? Genius! And, you know, let's be honest, if you're anything like me, you're probably on a road trip or something, so being able to jump back onto the highway easily is a *major* perk. It's not *right* downtown, but it's also not in the boonies. Balance, people, balance! It's the Goldilocks zone of Lincoln hotel locations. Just right.
Okay, but what's the *catch*? There HAS to be a catch.
Alright, you got me. Nothing is perfect. Here's the *real*, slightly messy truth. Sometimes, and I mean, it's rare, the Wi-Fi can be a little... wonky. Don't get me wrong, it usually works. I remember this one time I was working on a huge project and the internet just *died*. I panicked! I mean, I was like, "Nooo! I'm going to lose my job!" But, you know, I called the front desk, they fixed it pretty quickly, and the world didn't end. Now, you have to realize it's the internet, so what else is going to be going wrong? Nothing at all! The other thing is, well, sometimes it can get a little busy, especially on weekends. So, if you *really* want a room with a specific view, you might want to book in advance. That's my big "catch" gripe. That's it. Honestly? Those are minor inconveniences in the grand scheme of things. I am saying I am still going back.
Tell me about the staff! Are they friendly?
Oh, the staff. This is a big one. The staff *are amazing*! Seriously, the people who work at Comfort Suites North are incredibly nice and helpful. I had a really, really rough day once, like, everything went wrong. I arrived at the hotel, and I was a total mess. I was wearing a t-shirt, there was a stain on my t-shirt, I hadn't showered...I just looked awful! And the front desk clerk... she was so friendly and accommodating. She even made me laugh when I was on the verge of tears. I've noticed it's pretty consistent. They seem to genuinely care about making sure you're having a good experience. They're not just going through the motions; they're actually *people*. They remember you. They're responsive. They make you feel like you're a valued guest, not just some random person passing through. Honestly, it makes such a difference. It's the cherry on top of the already delicious sundae that is Comfort Suites North!
What's the vibe like at the hotel? Is it a party place? A family place?
The vibe... Alright, it's a *chill* vibe. Think of it as "relaxed comfort." It's not a place where you're going to find wild parties (thank goodness!), but it's also not super stuffy. It's a really good blend of familyHotel Price Compare
