Great quiet location away from the activity of the Haymarket. The property was noisy in the corridors especially of the 6th floor. Shower head and pillows were old and due for an upgrade. Generally a nice option and will probably return.
Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024
Response from Ken on 15 Apr 2024
Good afternoon Alan. Thank you for staying with us and completing this review. When you have a moment, can you please provide us with some additional information about the pillows and shower head? We opened 2 years ago yesterday, April 14th. We'll have the Housekeeping and Engineering teams test both to ensure they function as intended. Thank you again, we hope to host you again soon.KenGeneral Manager

King bed was very comfortable. Could not hear neighbors and hallways were also quiet. The only thing that had a problem with was the parking. Huge lot but I did not see any security. A parking garage would have been nice. I still guve it a 5 star rating.

Good afternoon Stephen and thank you for staying with us! We appreciate your feedback, thank you for taking the time to do so.

The hotel was great, clean, and newly updated. Very very Cornhusker themed. It’s location is a little odd, in the middle of the Nebraska Innovation Campus, and the parking lot is off and down a hill, so spring for the valet.

Only bad thing I can say is the policy for incidental damages. They take $50 from your account just to get the room then takes 5 days to put that money back in. I understand needing a card on file but not taking money for no reason.
Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023
Response from Ken on 29 Nov 2023
Good afternoon Tyler. Thank you for staying with us. The Incidental hold is an industry standard each hotel will hold to cover parking, meals, drinks, etc. Upon checkout we release the funds immediately, the additional day(s) are from your lender. When using a debit card, the funds are removed from your account and will take longer for your lender to place back in the account. We hope to host you again when your travels bring you back to the area. KenGeneral Manager

No breakfast
We thought we booked breakfast on hotels.com at our hotel. In our confirmation email it said breakfast for 2. The front desk at our hotel was no help and the receipt didn’t have it on there, just the total. So pretty sure we paid $30 for a breakfast we didn’t get.
