Loved the rooms the retro design was great. We had a hard time trying to find a place to park to check in to our room since there were 4 huge buses parked in the loading zone. Disappointed that we had to pay for parking you would think that would be part of your staying at there hotel.

The retro, Nebraska decor is awesome! The fact that we have to pay $23 to park in the garage may deter me from staying there again. I believe complimentary parking should be provided for guests.

the property itself is in a good location. The hotel is a bit worn, I know its a 60s throwback but some of the rugs look at least their age.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This section of Lincoln is EXTREMELY noisy with construction and emergency vehicles. The room decor was "fun" if you like th '50's. I enjoyed the bedside stand, a gutted console tv. But the HVAC appliance in the room sounded like a twin-prop plane revving; earplugs required! Also, by 8:30 a.m. there was no hot water in the room for showers. We're Hilton rewards members, but if you're not in the top 2 tiers, breakfast isn't included in your stay & choices were very limited and overpriced.

Great kitschy hotel in the heart of Lincoln- walkable to the Haymarket, UNL campus and downtown. The decor is everything! My only complaint is housekeeping knocking on the door at 9am to ask when we’re leaving. Check out is 11. That was unnecessary.
