Great stay!

Room was very nice and clean. Bed was super comfy. Hotel was quiet and honestly we expected a little noise from all the Husker fans at the hotel (us being part of those fans). Bathroom was huge and the shower was instantly hot. Self parking was super easy. Hotel lobby was decorated with vintage Husker gear and memorabilia. Lots of areas to sit. We got coffee and pastries at the The Good Life the morning we left. Prices were very good and coffee/pastries were yummy. We would definitely stay here again!

We spent time in the Well and Good restaurant and the rooftop bar, as well as our hotel room, and all three spaces were wonderful! The staff were very kind and seemed to enjoy doing their jobs. I'll definitely stay here again!
