The decor in the rooms is very eclectic and cool. The bed was comfortable as well. Property condition is a little older than I would have thought. The parking garage costs $23/night and is incredibly outdated. Extremely narrow and I would not recommend it if you have any qualms about driving in and out of incredibly tight spaces. That seemed to be an excessive price for what it was.

Outrageous pet fee.
I had an excellent rate on a 1 night stay here and it said it was pet friendly, when we arrived I was informed that there was a $75 pet fee for a $120 room, outrageous! Not very pet friendly!

We enjoy staying at The Graduate in Lincoln. The location is perfect for enjoying all the things in the downtown area. One area for concern was the humidity level in the room. The AC was turned down but the level of humidity stayed high.

Showed up for my booking at 9pm. Hotel was busy, i was asked to wait as the front desk sent the shuttle driver up to check on rooms to see if they were clean. 15 mins later the shuttle driver came back and said one of the rooms was clean. When i walked into the room it smelling like a college house party. There where dirty cups and bittles on the table. There was a rough effort to make the beds however the pillows where placed all over the place in the rush to "clean" the room. Trash from the previous tennant was still in the trash cans. Visited the front desk to explain what was going on, they magically had "moved some things around" and had another room that was clean. Upon entering this room, it was clearly in better shape. Which made the previous room seem comical that it was even passed off as clean. However my wife pulled the comforters up and more of the same. We left the property without staying. Hospitality when letting the front desk know we would not be staying was less then cordial. Staff was less then helpful, the hotel was in rough shape and i need of repair several places. Electrical tape holding down the floor decals in 3 of the elevators, furniture in the lobby and rooms is worn and beyond apoint of the vintage theme of the hotel. Save yourself the time and bypass this hotel and staff.

Great location
The location was very convenient to everything in the Haymarket area. The building and room had a fun retro vibe. The parking was a little pricey, and there is no guarantee of having a spot. It was also very narrow for a larger vehicle. The staff were very friendly and helpful
