This hotel is quirky, but in a charming way. The staff was great and it's a very central location in downtown allowing easy travel to many attractions in Omaha. There were a few \"down sides\" to the hotel, but nothing that would deter me from staying at this facility again. This hotel is charm, not modern, which is something I prefer when visiting new places.

This is an old and beautiful building. The rooms are older and it shows. The shower has a high step up, which is just a little weird and might be difficult for an older person to manage. And it hadn't been cleaned - there was hair on top of the drain and residual dried rings from someone's shampoo bottle on the little shower shelf. The chair at the small desk was very low - could not work at it. On the other hand, the front desk staff were more than nice and helpful and made us feel very welcome.

We had a great stay, front desk lady was very friendly and explained where everything was located and the times for milk and cookies, coffee, breakfast, etc. the property is beautiful, the only issue we had was the awkward door handles on the bathroom, but it was so minor it wasn’t enough to complain about at the time, we had a bottle of champagne in our fridge on arrival with glasses which was a nice touch. It is walking distance from multiple shops and restaurants, we enjoyed our stay and the staff were great, we will definitely stay again

I probably wouldn't stay here again or recommend it. The location was decent, but that was about the only positive. The hotel didn't really offer any amenities, and parking cost an additional $32 per night, which wasn't included in the room rate. The room had wall-mounted shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers, but they were empty when I checked in. The walls were also very thin, I could clearly hear my neighbors throughout the night, which made it difficult to relax and sleep. Overall, it was an okay stay, but not a great value for the price.

We stayed at the Magnolia for our 20th Anniversary. They left a bottle of champagne and glasses to help us celebrate--a nice touch, although the glasses were dirty. Upon further inspection, we noticed that the curtains had been ripped and shredded in multiple locations.
The room appeared to be fairly clean, but then we noticed drain bugs in the shower. We had requested to have our room cleaned on our 2nd day at 8:30am with the front desk. She sent a text and said that it would be taken care of, we went to breakfast in the restaurant onsite, and after spending 2 hours there due to being short staffed, we went back to the room and it hadn't been cleaned. We went out for the day and upon our arrival to the hotel at 3:30ish it still hadn't been touched. We called front desk and asked about it again and were told that they were working on it again. After a third phone call stating that they were on their way, we left for an evening out and they still did not come to the room. After another call, the front desk personnel, came up quickly to give us a set of fresh towels and said that we were on the list for the next day, but that we should call again in the morning, just to be sure. The room was finally serviced after another stop at the front desk on day 3.
Needless to say, this trip was ok, but not what we expected for a special hotel stay for our 20th anniversary. We usually stay at the Hyatt and thought we would try somewhere else for our anniversary. We won't return.

The woman who checked us out didn’t even look up as I tried to make sure she saw that I had given her my keys to check out. Had she looked up she could have guided us that we needed the key to get out of the gated parking and that there was a key drop once we got through the gate. Thankfully someone must have seen us frustrated and opened the gate remotely.
The place was gorgeous and cozy and clean and a short walk to the best steakhouse we have ever eaten at.

i was very disappointed in our check in. they advertised a 17 minute walk to the ball field. upon check-in i asked for a map showing us a walking route. the man at the desk said “ it’s about a 27 minute walk, traced a line on a map and said it’s in this general direction”. i asked about the numerous construction sites and road closures in the areas. he said they have been going on about a year. my concern was that the map would require adjustments due to closures and sidewalks being closed. i was told that gives you the general direction you will need to adjust. i told him i felt they misrepresented the actual walk in an attempt to bait people into staying there instead of closer to ballpark as there were many other options i would have booked if the truth had been known at the time of booking. i have asked for an adjustment to our overall bill due to the above and need to pay additional fees to park closer etc. to this date i have not received a response. i expected better customer service for the quality of facility they advertised. Buyer beware!

The bar drink I ordered was quite expensive but didn’t have alcohol in it.

Hotel was clean and in a great location. Parking was much cheaper on the street. The bad was this place is noisy. Not outside but inside . Its like there is no insulation in the walls. Each night we were awakened by others headed to their room. The worse was saturday night ,they had a wedding onsite. The dj should have just set up in our room. I would have figured quiet hours would have started before 10, but the music continued until almost 11. Then came the party goers until 2 am. I would at least ask if a wedding is happening during your stay before booking.

This property is a 3 star hotel on its best day. This hotel does have a certain charm, but that is negated by an overall sense that the hotel is very lacking in a regular cleaning schedule. In fact, in the three days I was there I did not see one single person doing any cleaning anywhere, not on the guest floor and not in the main areas. The room did not feel adequately clean, especially the bathroom. The towels are thin and one of them had a hole in it. I will add that the staff is very nice and friendly. Regardless of the helpful staff, I would not choose this hotel again.

⭐️⭐️ 2/5 — Magnolia Hotel Omaha

My fiancé and I stayed here unexpectedly after a cancelled flight. We appreciated the early check‑in and the dog‑friendly policy, but the rest of the stay was disappointing.

Our room had dirty walls, and the sink was broken — the lift rod didn’t work, so I had to use my fingernails to pull the stopper up just to drain the water. The pet relief area outside was completely overgrown and basically unusable.

Breakfast wasn’t much better. I ordered the avocado toast for $12, and it wasn’t worth it. The avocado was clearly store‑bought, and the veggies on top looked old.

We might’ve had a streak of bad luck, but based on this experience, I’d think twice before staying here again.

Pros: The hotel and room were clean and the beds were comfortable. The staff was friendly.

Cons: I was overcharged for my stay. Upon check-in I was informed that there would be a $100 deposit added to my total and that my parking would be paid for out of that amount, and the remainder was just a hold, however, I was charged the full amount, not just the parking.

The shower was awful. Possibly the worst hotel shower I have ever experienced. There was hardly any water pressure and the water fluctuated between scalding hot and barely warm. Between the water temperature issues and the lack of water in general, the tiled shower walls were freezing. With the width of the shower it was almost impossible not to touch them while huddling in the front of the shower trying to rinse off.

We are currently checking our bags and clothes to make sure we don’t transport the hotel’s bugs home with us. There is absolutely no excuse for this once beautiful hotel to be in the condition it is!

This is an amazing historic building with great character. The hotel was located walking distance to Old Market. And the staff was very eager to help and friendly. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. We ate dinner at the restaurant and our meals were delicious and service was very good. The only downside was our hotel room was dirty (dusty & signs of mold in the shower). The in-room coffee pot was stinky and needed to be decalcified. And the outdoor plaza area had garbage where a guest obviously didn’t pick up after themselves. When we booked this hotel we it stated that they had a shuttle, but they did not.
