Room was very clean, very quiet which was nice. First hotel we have been able to sleep in at. Hot tub was actually working which is rare these days. Check in was nice and easy and staff was very friendly.

The complex was beautiful and the room was clean and comfortable. I felt like I was in a new, furnished, apartment. The staff was polite, personal, and professional. A bonus was the free refreshments (freezies, ice cream). Awesome.

Room was fine. Loved the decor. Hotel was loud but probably because of the Husker football game. Good location.
