Martha’s is Lincoln’s answer to the question of where to stay when a chain hotel won’t do. The B&B occupies a beautifully restored 1909 mansion on Sheridan Boulevard, run by innkeeper Todd with the kind of personal attention that gets people writing five-star reviews — helping with luggage, accommodating odd arrival times, lighting the fireplace in your room so you can read by it with a glass of wine.
The rooms are the draw: period pieces, plush mattresses, exquisite linens, and standout suites like the Elizabeth Room with its Louis XVI bed. Complimentary continental breakfast, free Wi-Fi, included parking, and common areas (there’s a piano) for lingering over coffee. It’s hosted meetings, family reunions, and romantic getaways with equal ease.
This is a premium stay — guests describe it as luxury, and the pricing reflects it. But for a special occasion, a parents’ weekend, or anyone who’d rather stay in a piece of Lincoln history than a highway exit, it’s the city’s most distinctive roof.
