I love Graduate hotels and how they commit to a theme. The biggest enjoyment of my stays with Graduate are the decor and themes. Upon checking in, staff were helpful, and the room was clean and amazing. Great location, ease to park (paid parking), and great place to stay.

I will be calling first thing Monday morning. We paid almost $500 dollars for a hotel room to go watch the game. We did NOT get an email that we were not able to check in until AFTER the game. Who would pay that?! I was extremely upset. We checked our bags at 4pm. And then we didn't get checked in until around 11. We were hot and extremely exhausted. When asking the lady at the front desk. She goes " yah some people got the email some didn't but this is how it is every game day". Well when you come from out of town, and that isn't said on the listing when you book the room ..it's a bit upsetting and the customer service was awful. You had a lobby of upset people some of which who had been tailgating and drinking all day. I didn't feel super safe either. Forget the fact that you jacked up the price because it was game day, but you didn't even let us check in. Extremely upsetting and honestly doesn't seem legal. I got a notification that said see you at 4 pm ..got there at 4 only to be told sorry not sorry it's game day

Notified that would not be able to check in until after the game the day before which turned out to be 11:30 PM. Was told that there was no garage space but when I asked the garage attendant, there was indeed a spot for our car. Booked a stadium view room and paid extra but didn't get that. Was too late to change at that point. The property is nice and the location is great, but probably won't stay there again on a game day.

Definitely not a Hilton!
The hotel clerk said they were detached from Hilton so they no longer had hotel parking. They did not serve a complimentary breakfast. On checkout, the hotel clerk validated the parking for the woman in front of me but would not validate mine. He said it was a special circumstance. Add $23 to your bill per day for parking and $15 a day for breakfast as that is what the attached restaurant charges per guest for breakfast.

We got to our room and it had not been cleaned. I tried the front desk numerous times (5-6) no one answered. We found someone in the hall (these lady’s work so hard and we were very grateful they took the initiative to help us),and got our room clean. Thank you house keeping!! Granted we were an hour early from check in time. But never had a problem before. Overall, it is a great place to stay. Mostly, I want to thank house keeping, they probably handle so many things, put out fires that no one knows about. They probably have more contact with guests than the front desk. They put up with a lot and deserve a raise!

Have stayed here several times since they have opened and enjoyed it, likely my last time at this property. My husband and I arrived with our teenage daughter and were told that they could no longer give us our two queen room but instead only a single king, when I explained how creepy and unreasonable it would be for all of us to sleep in the same bed, we were give a roll away that was dropped off unceremoniously. The mattress on it was covered in yellow stains and we were only given a pile of flat sheets to make it ourselves, no comforter or blanket. There were tiny gnats throughout the room and it smelled HORRIBLE. When I mentioned that, a lady came up and blasted aerosol freshener around and then left. I heard that they had over booked the property on a Husker football weekend of all times and many people with valid bookings had to be "walked" to other hotels. Was probably a gift, hope their stays were better elsewhere.

I made a reservation for 3 rooms with Orbitz several months ago. Apparently the hotel canceled my reservation a month ago, I was never notified. On arrival to the hotel, they were sold out and unable to accommodate 2 of my 3 rooms. In my Orbitz account, my reservation was still “active”. Was a very frustrating situation.
