Broadwell accommodation from NZ$105

Overall great stay. Will return. Breakfast could be a little higher quality but was good.

If you like your hotel stays with a side of mystery and a dash of spiritual intrigue, the Days Inn in Lincoln, Illinois might just be your place. From the moment we walked in, the vibes were… off. Not bad exactly, just the kind of energy that makes you casually wonder if you should’ve packed sage… or maybe a priest. You know, just in case. That said, credit where it’s due: the new owners are clearly putting in the effort. You can tell they’re working hard to turn things around, and honestly, they’re doing a solid job. The place actually looked pretty nice overall clean, cared for, and (hallelujah) completely bug-free. That alone earns major points in the budget hotel universe. Now, let’s talk about the HVAC system. I’m fairly certain it was installed sometime around the Kennedy administration. It worked… in the same way a vintage car works, you’re not entirely sure what’s happening, but something is, and you just go with it. Fingers crossed that’s on their renovation list, because once that’s updated, this place could really shine. All in all: slightly haunted energy, surprisingly decent stay, and a team that seems to genuinely care. Bring good vibes, maybe a candle… and keep an open mind.
