Pros:

The breakfast was awful, and there was very limited options. I expect much higher quality when at a Hilton in this price range.

Comfy beds
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Ask for the card for parking or it costs you $25.00 Everytime you leave. The bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

Bathroom floor needed scrubbing, walls are thin, kids stayed next door to us and didn't settle down until 11ish.

Pros:

Great graduate spirit

Cons:

In our first room assigned, the bathroom light switch would not let us turn off the light. We were cheerfully assigned a new room and everything was fine.

I would have given this a five star review except for these two issues
Pros:

The location is 2 blocks from Haymaker

Cons:

I was charged a $75 pet fee for one night stay, the fee was not disclosed in the description and they would not give me a discount when I arrived. The curtains in the king room that I book would not close so it was quite bright at night

Loved the nostalgic feel of the building and the staff was amazing! The shower actually drained and the beds were siper
Pros:

Location, staff and coffee pot in the room. All great!

Cons:

The only bad thing was the age of the building and its effect on asthma.

Wonderful location. The hotel is clean and the decor is retro cool. Restaurant was exceptional.
Pros:

The location was wonderful for being able to park our car and not use it again until we were ready to leave two days later. It was the perfect location to enjoy all the fun places in downtown Lincoln. Also, it was a nice, short walk to Pinnacle Bank Arena where we attended graduation.

Cons:

My husband wished the room had a microwave. Although there was a way to make hot water for instant coffee/tea in the room, he would have preferred it if the lobby had FREE coffee and breakfast. NOTE: there is a little cafe in the lobby that sells custom coffee and snacks.

Not worth it
Pros:

The coffee shop in the Lobby is great. The decor is fun. There are lots of restaurants near by.

Cons:

Parking sucks - either $23/day in the garage or fight for a spot on the street which is 1.50/hour free from 6pm-8am. Oh, and the gal at the desk told me she could just put parking charges on my room, then didn't tell me how to do that so I paid twice for one day and they can't refund me.
The pool is 4-7ft deep and so cold. Not good for kids.
The breakfast is expensive to add on and it's awful.
Elevators are so slow, small, and dirty!
No ice or vending on my floor. Ice is only available in the Lobby. Vending is scattered and sparse.

I feel like I'm being nickled and dimed to death here for a subpar experience.

We will never stay there again. We paid for two rooms and it was not worth it.
Pros:

The staff was nice

Cons:

Our sheets were dirty/stained. The bathroom was disgusting, there was hair all over the floor and shower, the toilet looked like it was never cleaned and smelled awful.
