10/10 Excellent
"I stayed at BridgePointe Inn & Suites by BPhotels in Lincoln from September 29–30 while passing through on a road trip. I checked in around 9 p.m., and the front desk staff were very warm and welcoming. The hotel felt freshly renovated, and both the common areas and my room were exceptionally clean. My favorite part was the shower—the water pressure was amazing! It was honestly one of the most comfortable showers I’ve ever had. My second-floor room overlooked the grassy area behind the hotel and was very quiet. The location is excellent: just a couple of minutes off I-80, with none of the freeway noise you often get at hotels right beside the interstate. The bed and sofa were both very comfortable, and the breakfast was very good. This was a wonderful place to rest during my trip, and I would happily stay here again!"
