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.

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.

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.

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!
