Very unfriendly staff and no consistency
Staff at front desk were rude. Called 2 days prior to verify rooms, got there and they didn’t have our rooms and then charged us $250 more then our reservation from hotels.com indicated. They gave 2 of our rooms breakfast comp cards, and not the other two. When we went and ask for ours they continued to be rude and the last day wouldn’t give them any. Same went for parking pass, one day they validated for free, next day wouldn’t give. Rudeness continued daily! Not impressed at all on how my family was treated. There was one guy at front desk that did get price down to where it was suppose to be but only friendly one there. For $15 breakfast, was not impressed. A basic hotel breakfast.

Disappointed
Extremely disappointed with the stay this time. When we tried to check in there was no parking in the garage. We were told parking is not guaranteed on game day. We had to park elsewhere and then move the car back to the garage after the fact. While we were leaving the parking lot attended was extremely rude. We were not told we needed to have our parking validated. He ended up letting us go but no need to be extreme. This venture will most likely be the last time we stay at the graduate. We loved staying because of the uniqueness. We won’t anymore. The room is way over priced for the quality. Even though it is down in the middle of everything.

Loved the College town concept and the staff & service were excellent. We were there for my husband's birthday and they surprised him with gifts & free breakfast & drink vouchers in the room. The rooftop pool area is beautiful. They also comped our parking. We couldn't have asked for a better stay!

Pictures and website are nothing like the actual hotel and rooms. Unclean, hair in tub and shower. Tried to get a late check out upon arrival and 4 more times. Had to wait until the morning of, when running the biggest half marathon in Nebraska. Would not stay here again or recommend to others.

This use to be a pretty good place to stay for an older hotel. Since Hilton has taken over the nightly rate is stupidly priced for an old hotel with absolutely no perks whatsoever.

Very handy location for a show at the Pinnacle Bank Arena. Didn't care for the parking. The garage side of the property doesn't have key access for the entrance door off theparking garage. If you get there late at night, you have to walk around to the main entrance. The main entance automatic doors needed repair. The doors attached to the garage don't have a ramp inside the building only stairs. Definitely not the most accessible place I have stayed.
