Magnolia Hotel Omaha

Our stay was overall good. Our experience in the restaurant "The District" was phenomenal. Our experience with the reservation staff was not great. We arrived early because we drove in from out of town and had other appointments. We asked if we could check in but the room was not ready because we were early. No biggie -- we went and got a drink and food at the restaurant. When we asked an hour later the room still was not ready and the guy at the desk did not indicate that he would try to get it ready. At checkin time they finally came to tell us our room was ready (1.5 hours later). Problem was it was not the right room. So we had to come back to the desk and of course that room was also not ready. Then, the room they gave us was on a floor obviously going through a remodel - thankfully that was not an issue as it was quiet. Hotel gave us free drink coupons for the hassle which we used and were pleased with that evening. They also said they would pay for the meal we had while we waited but at checkout that was again a big mixup and waste of time. Thankfully, Shannon and Vincent in the restaurant were wonderful and took care of us and just gave us a free lunch instead. They were on top of their game, polite, helpful and understanding. If it was not for the excellent restaurant service and the spacious room our quick stay would have been a bust.

Great hotel, historical. Within walking d

Room 329, although I have stayed in others over the years. My favorite hotel when traveling to Omaha. Older building with charm - converted from offices and a bank at one time, it just has the character that you cannot find in the newer big chains, so even though my conference was at another hotel blocks away, I chose the Magnolia. All the personal service and attentiveness of a 5-star posh hotel with a boutique feel. Rooms are clean, linens fresh and soft, towels fluffy and this room had a stand-up shower (no tub). The room was quiet - I know I had people on one side of me at least and I did not hear a TV or conversation or door slams at all. It is an older building, so the elevators squeak and the floor might creak, but the property is. well maintained. Water pressure in sink was great - in the shower just OK. Location is great - walkable to all the Old Market spots and the rest of Downtown Omaha.

We had a great stay! Staff was friendly and helpful. The lack of parking was a bummer, but valet was affordable!

Pretty good, the service wasn't the best and was surprised the bar closed before midnight on a Saturday. Loved the idea of bulk shower supplies and a water when you needed one. Thought there was some wasted space in our room, but in old hotels you can't help that sometimes.
