Axel's take: 5.8/10
Useful space and included extras, but recent housekeeping complaints make this a cautious choice. A budget-oriented 3-star all-suite hotel off O Street, scored for what it is.
New Victorian Suites is a budget-oriented 3-star all-suite hotel off Lincoln’s O Street, rather than a boutique Victorian property. Its appeal is practical: sofa beds, refrigerators and microwaves, plus included breakfast, parking and an indoor pool. Expedia guests often praise comfortable beds and helpful staff. For a short, cost-conscious stop with a car, those basics have appeal, but we wouldn’t make it a first choice.
Recent feedback is substantially less reassuring than its strong historical Tripadvisor rating. Across Tripadvisor, Expedia and Trip.com, guests repeatedly describe dirty floors or bathrooms, smoke odors and worn furnishings; several 2026 reviews also report pests. Guests mention renovation work during 2026, but later maintenance complaints persist. We’d skip it if dependable cleanliness matters more than extra space, and confirm pool availability before booking specifically for swimming.
