The hotel is ideally located in downtown Omaha's Old Market area with plenty of excellent restaurants nearby. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, but some might have an overlooking view of the parking garage, which could be disappointing. The overall service is fantastic, ranging from valet parking to shuttle drivers, making guests feel welcomed. However, the dining experience may need some improvement as reported to be unkept in certain areas.

The hotel offers well-appointed rooms with a terrific coffee selection and superb bathrooms, but they are a bit small and tight. The service is wonderful overall, though there is an extra charge for vehicle storage. The location seems great for exploring Old Town, even on a rainy day. The dining experience is impressive with fantastic scrambled eggs. The facilities are top-notch.
