I wish they would just put the parking in the price of the room. Got there and it's an extra fee for parking. I thought I paid all the taxes and fees when I made the reservation but apparently that was not the case.

Retro type decor which was a cool theme. Price was a too much. Parking garage is not included so that's an additional $25 for a night.

Great location

The concept of this hotel is quaint. The furnishings are unique and add to the overall experience. The hotel needs some TLC as evidence of water leaks are abundant throughout the room. Great area, with many dining options within walking distance of property. Loved the area, would definitely visit again and recommend other travelers book this property as well!

Very easy walk to Memorial Stadium, Pinnacle Bank Arena, Railyard, Haymarket, etc. Booked room on Husker game weekend so knew we were paying more but IMO room/hotel is worth the regular rate, but was not worth the $438.39/night, plus parking and breakfast expense in addition to that. Was lots of traffic noise from street (we were on the 12th floor), out of coffee in lobby both mornings we were there, key cards did not work 2 of the times we returned to our room and had to be replaced. Nice to have parking garage on-site, but tight for larger vehicles and even hotel guests had to pay to park there. Would have been nice to have free breakfast option, especially for cost of rental. Beds were comfy and rooms were decorated with some fun, if not slightly tacky, Nebraska related decor. Our kids, and my husband, enjoyed the arcade games in the lobby.

Our bedding was wet. They brought us dry linens at 11:00-11:30 pm.. dropped them off and we had to change the beds ourselves. By 4:30 am we woke up wet again. Something is wrong with the ac or their moisture control. Even our clothes were damp and i should have known by the warped wooden panels on the walls. We had no hot water the first night. A towel looked like someone had wiped with it. Tub wouldn’t drain well. The front staff was SUPER sweet and nice, I’d say that was the only upside to staying there.
