The Scarlet, Lincoln, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Great place to stay if you're heading to a Nebraska game. (Even more fun when Wisconsin beats Nebraska 🙃 ) The shuttle takes you right to the stadium. Super easy and convenient!! The rooms were great and the atmosphere in the hotel was warm and friendly.

Went for college football game and parent's weekend. Checked in easily after the game. Valet parked without any issues. Rooms were clean and felt new. Could see some drywall screws in the ceiling and that felt unfinished. Handicapped bathroom was large and easy to use. We did not stay for breakfast but probably will next time.

I stayed here for three nights for work. I really enjoyed my stay. I will, of course, complain about things here, but any downsides were minor, particularly compared to how wonderful every single person I encountered working here was. I interacted with three different valets and they were all friendly and efficient and when they asked how my day had been, they seemed to truly care; like it wasn’t just a “we’re required to ask so we will” thing. The front desk agent who checked me in and helped me the following evenings was great. Super responsive and helpful. When I asked for a toothbrush and later a blanket it was provided (or sent up) right away. She also was able to give me info on the portrait drawings they have hanging in the lobby. It’s mostly important sports coaches of the university, and Warren Buffet (the only one I kind of recognized). The wait staff at the restaurant and the downstairs bar were also friendly and helpful. The housekeepers were as well. And each morning on my way out everyone I walked past said good morning and was friendly. The room and bathroom were clean and the bed was comfortable. The pillows left a little to be desired. I think all four were the same level of firmness. I had some trouble with the brightness level at night. I wish the curtains had been blackout. The lights from the parking lot and whatever the building behind the hotel was was visible through the curtains. There was also light coming from under the door. I ended up putting my shoes in front of it and that helped block the light. Of a “it’s me, not you” note: I usually sleep cold and was absolutely frozen the first night, even after turning off the air conditioner. I should have asked for an extra blanket that night because once I did they brought up a fantastic comforter right away and I slept so much better after that. I didn’t care for the parking situation. Self park was $20 per day and valet was $22 per day. I normally prefer to park my own car, but the lot I was directed to was odd - off to the side and pretty much completely empty. And I think the signs said you had to use an app to pay. So I decided saving two dollars wasn’t worth it and went back around and used valet. I imagine during the school year there would be more cars around and parking would be at more of a premium, but for my trip it seemed silly to charge so much for self parking. All that aside, I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone coming to the area.

We had an amazing experience. Right after checking in, our car battery died. An employee tried jump starting it with his personal vehicle and when that didn’t work, he arranged the shuttle to run us to get a battery and he started taking the battery out with his personal tools and helped put the battery in. Everyone that we encountered at this hotel was so friendly and helpful. Rooms were great!! Highly recommend and will be back again!

The Scarlet Hotel in Lincoln is fantastic! The staff is very friendly and customer-obsessed, the property is modern and clean. Visit the Barred Owl for cocktails (and fun team) and a relaxing rooftop-terrace experience and breakfast in the restaurant is delicious. Across the street, the roasted coffee from The Mill is a nice treat. The little details like the valet team opening the entrance door or car door, or the staff saying hello as you walk by, offers such a nice touch of hospitality! Thanks for the lovely experience!

LOVED this hotel!! They put so much thought and effort into every detail. We didn’t want to leave! The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. The cafe had great coffee and treats. For our first time to Lincoln, I can tell you the hotel made us want to come back. We will definitely be booking this hotel again!! Can’t recommend it enough.

My husband & I had a brief stay when in Lincoln for a concert. The staff was very courteous & helpful. The bed was very comfortable & had full sized pillows! We tried a variety of breakfast items from the Good Life Coffee Shop, & they were all wonderful. The surrounding area is peaceful, & we’re so glad we had an opportunity to stay!

I travel religiously for work and finding a 5 out of 5 hotel is like a unicorn. This place is a unicorn! The rooms are beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The bar is relaxing and spacious. The food breaks the mold from standard hotel food and legitimately rivals what you may find at a steakhouse. I had one of the best pork chops ever at Well & Good. The bartender (Brenna) was personable, efficient, and energetic….this entire stay was a nice change of pace from what most business travelers are experiencing day to day. My only gripe is that the bar needs some curtains or shades. I’m only sharing this last piece because I don’t believe in the Unicorns and Rainbow approach. If you’re traveling to Lincoln, this is the place to stay.

From the minute you arrive the valet staff were amazing and accommodating. Rooms were clean and welcoming. The bar downstairs had the best food and Micah the bartender was amazing! Would love to see him working on the rooftop the next time I stay as he was quick and friendly in serving me and my friends. Overall highly recommend!

The prices were very reasonable while the stay was incredibly luxurious. I was helped at the front lobby without lifting a finger to bring my necessities inside. The room was quiet and comfortable, yet the atmosphere in the lounge area was ripe for greeting and mingling. The cherry on top of my wonderful stay, was of course the bar. I was catered to by the master barman, Micah. He listened to my every need, create superb drinks with flavors as such I had never tasted the likes of. Delectable! Micah was able to dial down a flurry of wonder drink choices, even through I did not know what I wanted. He asked a few questions and was able to create the perfect whistle-wetter every time. He always made sure to check on me and kept me entertained while slinging the best drinks in town, nay, the state.
