Notified that would not be able to check in until after the game the day before which turned out to be 11:30 PM. Was told that there was no garage space but when I asked the garage attendant, there was indeed a spot for our car. Booked a stadium view room and paid extra but didn't get that. Was too late to change at that point. The property is nice and the location is great, but probably won't stay there again on a game day.

Definitely not a Hilton!
The hotel clerk said they were detached from Hilton so they no longer had hotel parking. They did not serve a complimentary breakfast. On checkout, the hotel clerk validated the parking for the woman in front of me but would not validate mine. He said it was a special circumstance. Add $23 to your bill per day for parking and $15 a day for breakfast as that is what the attached restaurant charges per guest for breakfast.

We got to our room and it had not been cleaned. I tried the front desk numerous times (5-6) no one answered. We found someone in the hall (these lady’s work so hard and we were very grateful they took the initiative to help us),and got our room clean. Thank you house keeping!! Granted we were an hour early from check in time. But never had a problem before. Overall, it is a great place to stay. Mostly, I want to thank house keeping, they probably handle so many things, put out fires that no one knows about. They probably have more contact with guests than the front desk. They put up with a lot and deserve a raise!

Have stayed here several times since they have opened and enjoyed it, likely my last time at this property. My husband and I arrived with our teenage daughter and were told that they could no longer give us our two queen room but instead only a single king, when I explained how creepy and unreasonable it would be for all of us to sleep in the same bed, we were give a roll away that was dropped off unceremoniously. The mattress on it was covered in yellow stains and we were only given a pile of flat sheets to make it ourselves, no comforter or blanket. There were tiny gnats throughout the room and it smelled HORRIBLE. When I mentioned that, a lady came up and blasted aerosol freshener around and then left. I heard that they had over booked the property on a Husker football weekend of all times and many people with valid bookings had to be "walked" to other hotels. Was probably a gift, hope their stays were better elsewhere.

Was supposed to be able to check in at 4 and when we got there a little after 4 they didn’t have any rooms available. My fiancé wanted to get ready in the room before we went and met with friends and ended up having to do her makeup in the vehicle.

A cute hotel with its own character. We learned upon check in that they were recently acquired by Hilton. I hope this is the change they need to get everything updated as it's been less and less quality each time we stay. This time, the (instant) coffee packets they supply in the room had obviously been wet or damp at some point - instead of loose grounds it was clumps of coffee that were once wet and now dry and crumbly. The rooms are so dimly lit that it was hard to get work done. And, for some reason, I was booted off their internet twice while I was simply trying to do my business work. I received some message saying I was "Quarantined" due to "malicious or violation of purpose of network" and I was kicked offline. I was only updating my website for my business at the time. If you're in Lincoln on business travel, I don't recommend this hotel.

This was probably one of the best hotels I ever stayed at. The staff for check out and check in was wonderful and helpful (this happened after midnight and before 6 am). The room was so fun with the corn print wallpaper LOL! and great view of the city. There was also the gym, pool, sun deck, and bicycles to borrow - fun! Great location - easy to walk to for everything. I would stay there again besides other Graduate Hotels.
