The Magnolia Omaha

Disgusting! Black in bed and shower. When I told the front desk they apologized but nothing else was done. A discount for the room would've been nice!

Disliked: Black gnats in bed and shower.

We had tickets to the Orpheum presentation of The War Horse. Enjoyed being so close to The Old Market. We shall return!

Liked: Loved the atmosphere, both inside and outside The Magnolia. Love, love seeing people coming and going and had "ownership" of their stay. Breakfast was fantastic! Staff was great!
Disliked: The beds were listed as queen sized but was only double bed. We have queen sized at home so knew this wasn't correct. It's hard to please everyone but the mattress was so soft we kind of "gravitated" to the middle.

Stunning Stay in Omaha

Liked: The historic building was STUNNING! I really enjoyed the detail within it all like the paintings on the ceiling and the courtyard was a lovely space that was within the heart of the hotel but still allowed for some outside time. The room was pleasant and the shower had great spout pressure. When I booked, the area had seemed pretty central, but I wish it would have been more near the water, that is more of my issue, though. Really enjoyed the gated self park lot behind the building, I felt my vehicle was safe and it made loading/unloading luggage much easier.
Disliked: For stating it is a "pet friendly" facility, I felt there wasn't a lot of consideration for pet travelers. When we arrived, there was not clear signage for parking and once we did park in the back of the building in the gated lot, there was only a woodchip area in the designated pet zone. I was hoping for some grass. We also had some bad luck and the phone in the room did not work so we were not able to order down for room service which is a small inconvenience and just resulted in doing Ubereats.

Wonderful experience

Liked: It was a wonderful stay, very clean, and the staff was extremely friendly

Overall pretty good jsut disappointed...

Liked: Loved the court yard, and the room layout being two stories was very cool compared to other rooms I’ve been in. The diner down stairs was great food for room service.
Disliked: The tv’s are very outdated. Carpet seemed a bit old. Had no towels but maybe one small towel. Only had one coffeee cup lid. Was very hot walking in. Had to leave for a couple hours once we got there jsut to let cool down.

Liked: A/C was working great. Decor very nice. Smelled good.Loved the historical element.
Disliked: The bed it self seemed to be damaged on the interior side as if the springs were blown out.

Very nice stay overall, but...

Liked: Lovely, historic building with a great location within the city (easy walk to the Old Market area). Our room was huge, had excellent air conditioning and was very clean and comfortable for sleeping. Nice bar in the lobby, albeit quite expensive.
Disliked: It was expensive to stay and parking was an additional $29, with a parking lot adjacent to the hotel. Although the location of the parking was very convenient, you had to use a room key card to enter/exit the automated parking system - meaning you had to check-in first (not convenient) and if you checked out and turned in your room key card, you had to find assistance to exit (why not just have gate open for exiting like at most locations?). Also, the hotel apparently hosts a lot of weddings and other functions and it can be very crowded and noisy in the lobby area.

Good

Liked: Everything was fine, the building itself was architecturally and historically interesting. The rooms/staff/decor were not unusual.
Disliked: Breakfast took ages: 10mins to get OJ and regular coffee, and 30mins+ to get toast and fruit. We asked for the check at same time as ordering and let them know we had to leave within 20mins to attend a funeral (we were wearing black). We never got the fruit, toast, or check within 30mins of sitting down. We left $20 on the table -- there was no staff around, and so we quietly left. (It was not busy)
