Magnolia Hotel - Omaha

Checked in so late the next day from our original, lovely Delta maintenance issues. The courtyard is nice. It looks like a world cool hotel. It's not in the nicest part of downtown though. The room is nice. Bed sheets aren't so nice and soft or silky at all. Would have been nice if the bathroom wasn't right next to the bed. Although it's nice to have a full kitchen, doesn't do much good not having any cooking utensils, bowls or silverware at all. Our second room is bigger, but now we have stairs to get to the second floor bathroom and bedroom. Every inch of the first floor creaks at every step. The bed is a queen instead of the king bed I had booked. The bathroom is smaller and has no sink counter space and the smell of sewage comes into the bathroom every time you flush the toilet. We didn't want to move again, since this is the second time this week we have had to move rooms due to an issue. It's not fun having to pack up everything and unpack twice in a hotel. $30/day for self parking. The gated parking lot is convenient, you can get it Valeted as well, for a little more. The neighborhood is so-so, a lot of vacant buildings nearby and some less than desirable folks hanging out close by. We mostly opted for drive everywhere around us.

We stayed here in early August for 3 days and 4 nights. I would not book this hotel again if we returned to Omaha.Location:Location is good. Walking distance to The Old Market which has lots of shopping, dining, and bars.Internet:Internet is terrible. We checked in on the last day of the month and were there for three full days after that. The front desk gave us the wifi code, but neglected to tell us that it changes on the first of each month so on our first full day, we couldn't figure out why the password was no longer working and had to go ask the front desk if there was an issue with the wifi. The same girl who checked us in the day before, told us the password changes the first of the month, information she should have already provided us upon checkin. I needed to be able to work remotely while I was there and was not able to. I would connect my work laptop to the internet and it would work for about 15 minutes before it dropped off and wouldn't reconnect again. As a result, I didn't meet my required hours for work while I was there. As for my phone, I just left wifi off on my phone as it was faster to use the phone without their wifi. Hotel:It's a historic building with some of its original details which is nice and has been updated. Rooms are fairly small. AC worked well. The shower is super funky and has a really large step up/down (around a good 10") that felt really unsafe. The sink drained really slowly which was gross. The bathroom has really cheap bath products. The bathroom has one of those awful barn doors that offer only visual privacy and not noise privacy, but it didn't offer much visual privacy either. It was so heavy and the handle is in a shape that, if I closed the door all the way, I couldn't get back out! I had to have my husband come open the door from the outside of the bathroom. I had to leave it cracked each time I used it. Parking:They have a gated parking lot in the back which is nice, but they charge you $24 a night to self park which is really high. We had to do it because we couldn't find alternatives in the area other than meter parking which, according to the front desk, you have to renew every three hours via an app which would have been a pain to remember.Noise.We were on the second floor facing the front street. We didn't really hear any street noise. There weren't a lot of people staying at the hotel so it was quiet on all nights until our last night. Our last night was a Saturday night and several people had checked in that day. They all got in very late. The doors to the rooms don't have soft closing so they slam unless people take caution to close them gently so from about midnight to 1:30am it was a cacophony of constant slamming doors and sex noises through thin neighboring walls. Information:It's hard to know any specifics about amenities. There is no information available in rooms at all. No printed information and no QC code linking you to information and none of the specifics on the internet. Apparently they offered room service, but I'm not sure how you would know you could order or what you could order as there was no menu. There was no information on where to find the ice machine, the microwave, or the vending machines (all on different floors by the way). No information on the restaurant's hours for each meal service. No menu for the restaurant (except in the lobby, but it didn't have hours listed on it). They set out cookies every night but there's no information on that (it's 8pm which is oddly late in my opinion). There are definitely better places to stay if you're considering an overnight in Omaha.

Wow this place is super cute, and at times the decor, and the art deco design of the building, turns from just "super cute" to absolutely stunning! Truly, I've never stayed in a hotel like this before that has actual character and isn't just another chain hotel, and I can't recommend this place enough! Plus the restaurant in here has pretty good food too

On my first visit to Omaha, I stayed at the Magnolia and was blown away with how gorgeous of a hotel this is. There really isn't bells and whistles but it really is such a beautiful space. It's decorated well and definitely feels like a boutique hotel. There's a shuttle to and from the airport and employees that operate the shuttle and work at the hotel are super friendly. Will definitely make it a point to stay at this gorgeous space when visiting this awesome city again.

If you like old and quirky, this place might be for you. Personally, I like my rooms a little bit more modern. There's really nothing wrong with this place, it's just not what I prefer in a hotel room. As far as the bar/restaurant goes if you like Tom Collins and Bush light and chicken wings then you'll be fine if you want anything a little fancier stay somewhere else. I will say the service at this hotel is absolutely phenomenal for that. I give 10 stars..

I would recommend not claiming this hotel to be "pet friendly". My boyfriend and I came to Omaha for one night, we brought my dog with as the hotel stated they are PET FRIENDLY. We arrive to our room, change quick, & head out the door. No more than 10 minutes later we receive a call that my dog is barking too loud and "disturbing guests". This then resulted in myself having an anxiety attack & trying to figure out what we do next as we were told we can't leave the pet unattended in the room? ok. ALSO. Check in wasn't until 4 ... I called once to see if we could check in earlier. I was told it can't be promised but they will make a note in my booking and let me know as time goes on. Okay, so I called the day before we left, & was told I needed to call the day of when they'd have a better idea if we could check in early or not? SO, I call AGAIN the day we check in & was told we could arrive any time. This obviously messed with our plans though because we didn't know what time we could leave our home in Des Moines as we didn't know if we could check in early or not until the day of!!!! The gentleman who checked us in almost didn't even let us check in early either as he said we got there "way too early for check in". This was our first & only time going to this hotel.

I visited the restaurant in the Magnolia for brunch/lunch today with friends. They have a breakfast and brunch menu on their website, but don't make it clear when that ends on weekends, so when we arrived at 11am it was a lunch menu only. Kind of disappointing, but there were some good options on there. We came in with a larger group, but were the only ones in the restaurant the entire morning and did not come close to filling the breakfast area. Still, the food took an extremely long time to come out, and I think it was easily over an hour. The server was great though and super friendly. I ordered the southwest chicken melt and while it was okay, I wouldn't order it again. I didn't really notice any of the listed ingredients on it, like it barely had avocado on it. There were large pieces of iceberg lettuce on it, which was wilty. The restaurant is super nice and has beautiful decor and furniture. Being such a nice place, I was really hoping that the food would be great to be a cool new brunch spot, but unfortunately I was very disappointed. While the food was okay, I just don't think I have reason to return, unless I want to spend all morning waiting for okayish food. Omaha has many great brunch places, so I would look elsewhere for that.

Absolutely awful service. Tried to call to book a reservation and check in early, but no. Next.

Absolutely terrible experience ever! Being a self called 4 stars hotel, it does not has the services like it suppose to. A 4 STARS HOTEL, with only 1 towel! A 4 stars hotel with a 2Mbps internet, slower than using a 3g mobile Hotspot, even worse, it was not available half of the time I stayed here. Btw, I stayed here 3 days, at the premier Loft, cost me $359 a night! It is not worth it, and would not recommend this hotel to anyone who planning to visit Omaha! Disappointed...
