Great kitschy hotel in the heart of Lincoln- walkable to the Haymarket, UNL campus and downtown. The decor is everything! My only complaint is housekeeping knocking on the door at 9am to ask when we’re leaving. Check out is 11. That was unnecessary.

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.
