Graduate by Hilton Lincoln
Room was good. We had a late check-in because the football team checked out late and our room wasn't ready, but the front desk staff held and handled our luggage very efficiently.

The Lincoln Marriott Cornhusker Hotel
Very friendly staff with well-appointed, comfortable rooms. Only complaint was the Millertime restaurant. Food was so salty we couldnt eat it, and at about $200 for dinner for two, far too expensive.
