    AMAZING

    We stayed at the Graduate Lincoln for a wedding weekend and it was such a fun and memorable experience. The hotel has such a cool, nostalgic vibe with all the university-themed touches and quirky details everywhere — it felt unique without trying too hard. Our room was spacious, super clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We especially loved the little desk area that actually worked well for getting some work done. The location is perfect — just steps away from downtown Lincoln and right near campus. The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They even helped us with last-minute recommendations for dinner spots. Breakfast at the on-site restaurant was delicious, and the coffee was a lifesaver in the morning. Highly recommend this hotel whether you're in town for a game day, wedding, or just a quick getaway. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Lincoln!

    We were very pleased with the facilities, the food and the service. My team walked away feeling good about Graduate. As I said, the meeting was a huge success
