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.

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.

Worst hotel stay we've had
We stayed here on a husker game day. Tried to check-in around 4 and were told we wouldn't be able to check-in until after the game. To make matters worse we also weren't able to park in the garage and had to park 6 blocks away. So, after the game we had to haul our luggage 6 blocks back to the hotel at 11:00 PM and waited in line for over an hour to get checked in as everyone was checking in at the same time since no one could earlier. When I get the email receipt the next morning I saw we were overcharged by $163. The front desk staff said they weren't able to fix this but told me to email the GM.
