Really fantastic hotel. But lots of touch ups needed. The shower was not working properly, and we could hear everything going on in the rooms around us.

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.

Parking Scam
Their parking situation is a big scam!
Just wanted to share my experience with the parking situation at Hilton.
They don’t offer day parking, and every time you leave and return, they charge you $15. We went in and out four times in one day, so it added up quickly. When I mentioned this to the front desk, they were quite rude and said it was part of Hilton's new setup. Just a heads up if you’re considering staying there!

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.

Awesome location right in the heart of downtown, close to all the bars restaurants and sport complexes. Downside building is old elevators were working intermittently. Breakfast was okay but not worth the price.

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!

We love staying at The Graduate. Appealing decor,friendly staff (mostly Nebraska students), dog friendly, great dining nearby. The Mill (1 block away) is the best coffee/tea shop ever.
