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.

This was larger, nice hotel. The rooms are relatively small, but more than adequate. We enjoyed the breakfast and other meals at the restaurant. Hotel, conveniently located near the university of Nebraska the facilities on campus. It would be a great option for attending sports events at the University. We attended Broadway musical at the Lied Center, which would’ve been within walking distance from the hotel.

The Graduate Lincoln has seen better days. Clearly no investment has been made to improve, repair, update or clean well in the past few years prior to selling recently to Hilton and it shows. Check-in last night the front desk was anything BUT hospitable. Clean the place inside & out. update and refresh the old themes. Hire better & take care of your staff. You have lost my business at this point.

This is a great hotel. Had an overall great experience. Parking is the only drawback. The parking ramp is really only for smaller cars
