Great hotel but thin walls.

The convenience of the location was great. Easy and friendly check in. Rooms have fun decor. Only negative was that the walls were thin and we could hear the people in the room next to us pretty clearly.

Overall good stay

Hotel has a very nice theme. Only issues was the TV wasn’t working. They had to bring a new tv up to the suite. The coffee bar wasn’t restocked in the room and no one showed up to give me coffee packs after calling the front desk. They informed me I could go to the lobby for coffee if I wanted to.

One night stay for Husker game

We just stayed for one night. Front desk staff was outstanding and room was very nice. Parking was terrible and parking ticket isn't included with the room. I had to wait for garage to clear from previous night guests while they were at the game. Paid for a lot down the street for $45 and when I did get to park in lot attached to hotel, it cost another $23.
