Great Place to Stay In Lincoln

The Scarlet was clean, comfortable, and convenient. I was there on business and the customer's office was literally next door. This turned out to be really important because there was a big winter storm that pushed temperatures to 10 below while I was there and it was nice to just walk about 60 yards to my customer's office as opposed to needing to drive in those conditions. The hotel staff is warm and inviting. They have a nice restaurant and bar on site that serves really good meals. There is also a coffee shop that serves breakfast items and snacks throughout the day. The room rate was very reasonable. The only quibble I have with the guest rooms is that the lighting is dim which makes the rooms feel generally dark. This is not unique to this hotel as I am seeing it as a trend. Hotels have removed the ceiling lights and have installed a series of lamps instead. Even with turning all the lamps on, there are still dark areas in the room. Regardless, I will stay here again and have no problem recommending the hotel to others.

Comfortable, quiet rooms. Fun/classy rooftop bar. The staff is excellent, and the complimentary shuttle to downtown or other areas within a 3 mile radius is great! Very nice, well managed hotel.

I just want to give a huge thanks to front desk supervisor, Zakiyyah. We ran into a family medical issue, resulting in cancellation of our trip. Zakiyyah went above an beyond to make sure that we were taken care of and reached out to see if there was anything else that The Scarlet Hotel could do for us regarding our current situation and our future stays. Looking forward to rebooking in the near future!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Most of the furniture, rugs, and bedding is damaged and stained up. The bathroom in our room was disgusting. We let the host know and asked to have the room cleaned. When we returned to the room, it was still dirty and they didnt even change the bedding that was stained. You have to leave the hotel to get food for every meal as they have very limited options. The ratings were so good and I am not sure why. For a 2 year old hotel I was expecting so much more. Very disappointing.

F&B needs some more work

They need more servers upstairs in the lounge. It was full and only two people working. It took a long time to get served even seating at the bar. Plus have more beer on draft. They were out on three different beers so like 50% of the beers. It’s not the staff problem. It’s management of F&B problem. Learn to understand if there is a large group staying at the hotel and a sporting event next door you might want to staff up. Poor planning and no foresight.
