    “Our entire stay was lovely from start to finish. From the smooth check in process and thoughtful room upgrade to the friendly staff, beautiful pool and hot tub area, and complimentary breakfast each morning, everything exceeded our expectations. Every employee we encountered was kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful\. We especially loved the pool area, with the garage doors open to let in the fresh air and create such a fun, relaxing atmosphere while still enjoying the comforts of the hotel. We also appreciated that the breakfast offerings were slightly different each day, giving us something new to look forward to each morning. It was a wonderful touch and made our stay feel even more special. All in all, it was a fantastic stay, and we truly enjoyed every part of our experience.We would happily stay here again!”

    “What a perfect place to host our event. We had about 75 people. Between the inside and outside, everything flowed perfectly. The history of the place was cool too. The bar setting, tabletops, lighting, and overall aesthetic provided the perfect backdrop and everyone raved at how perfect the spot was. Marissa and her staff were absolutely wonderful. They took the best care of everyone and communicated promptly in the lead up. Can’t say enough great things about the place. Next time we plan anything, Hall 31 will be at the top of the list!”

    “Our company recently hosted our Holiday Party at The Empire Room, and it was an absolutely incredible experience! From start to finish, everything about this venue exceeded our expectations. The layout and aesthetic of the space were stunning, especially with the gorgeous Christmas trees and lighting that perfectly complemented the holiday atmosphere. The backdrop of the lit trees at Turner Park added an extra touch of magic, making the evening feel truly special. One standout feature was the beautiful hosted bar—elegant and fully stocked, it was a major highlight of the night. Onsite parking with validation was another huge plus, solving a common challenge with venues in the Omaha Metro area. We were especially impressed with the service provided by Beth Reher, the event planner included with the venue rental. She was an absolute rockstar—10/10 for her meticulous attention to detail and seamless coordination. Knowing we had someone as capable and proactive as Beth on our team made all the difference. If you're searching for the perfect venue for a holiday party or any event, I highly recommend The Empire Room. It's an exceptional space with top-notch amenities and service that will leave you and your guests in awe.”

    “If you're looking for a magical wedding venue in Omaha, the best option is The Bohemian Gardens, without question. Aside from flowers on the tables, we did no decorating at all. The venue itself is so beautiful you don't need to. One of the owners, Jeff, was so kind and accommodating. The bartenders/serving staff were amazing. We cannot recommend this venue enough!”

    “This past July, we celebrated our daughter and son-in-law's wedding at the Livestock Exchange. The venue was absolutely perfect. Let's be honest... weddings can be a racket! If you have ever been in the planning stages, especially when it comes to the venue, you understand the sickening feeling that you must ultimately settle for this exploitative, over-priced system that leaves you with little choice. The Livestock Exchange was exactly the opposite. Let me start by saying do NOT judge this book by its cover. The location is outside of downtown Omaha with a parking lot full of free parking. The historic building has hidden on the 10th floor, stunningly beautiful and wonderfully restored ballrooms with gorgeous windows spanning the height of the room. They have 2 ballrooms which made for a perfect flow. We held the ceremony in one ballroom and guests afterword flowed freely into the reception ballroom where premade signature cocktails were already poured, and a team of professional bartenders awaited the crowd. There was no need to shuffle people around to reset the room. There was no bottle neck at the bar waiting to get a drink. Cocktail hour led into dinner hour and the table service was outstanding only to be matched by the food which was made by Livestock in their commercial kitchen. Food was served fresh and hot and was delicious - something you have come not to expect at a wedding. Joe and his lovely staff were so accommodating. They met OUR needs and wishes as opposed to us having to conform to their way of doing things. From set up - working around our schedule, to takedown - allowing us to come in the next day, they made everything so very easy. It allowed us to enjoy the whole day - beginning to end without having to worry about a tight schedule or timeline. Joe and his staff including Betty and Mary were truly wonderful. I cannot recommend them enough.”

    “Great location, if you are going to be in the CHI Center area. Not heavily perfumed, which is nice for my scent reactive self. Clean. Beds are very comfortable but too high to climb onto if you're under 5 feet. No breakfast, which was disappointing. They do have a Perkins right next door which will give you a 20% discount if you give your room number (if you have time for a sit down restaurant). Toilet's are very low to the floor. I like that they do not have single use plastic for shampoo, soap, etc. We had a kitchen with full sized fridge, stove, etc. Very convenient. Did not like what looked like maybe rust streaks across the top door jamb inside the bathroom.”

    “Attended an awards ceremony here. Super cool place. The design of the space feels retro in a way that's classy and timeless. Because it was winter, it was already dark by the time I got there and I didn't get a very good chance to see the view. Not sure if the food was their regular menu or special banquet food, it was mostly heavy appetizers. It was all good, but nothing too special. The fried ravioli had meat inside and was not labeled, a vegetarian friend unknowingly bit into one - that was not great. Food was a buffet but servers were friendly and attentive to clearing tables. The christmas lights added a lot to the vibe; it gave it such a magical feel like walking into an old movie scene. There were some sections where it seemed the lighting was a little harsh rather than moody, but I was lucky enough not to be sitting in any of them.”

    “We had our daughter's wedding here and it was lovely. It is a very nice, clean and classy place. The bridal room was amazing and great for pictures and very spacey. Cynthia is a woman that knowns and is about business which I appreciate. She was very helpful and even in the stretch of things she was understanding. I appreciate the professionalism and all they did to help us have a very good experience. Thank you very much.”

    “My son & myself drove to Omaha on 11/22/26 to see Randall King in concert. We started following him in 2024 & have also seen him live in Des Moines. Slowdown was amazing. It was easy to find, had parking right across the street & the actual amenities are great for smaller, more intimate shows. It would take a lot to get me to drive that far again for a show, but I'd totally do it if the right act was playing there. I recommend checking out a show here.”

    “El Museo Latino was Nebraska Passport stop number 54 for us in 2024. It was a bit challenging to find a parking spot as they are adjacent to a bank which is apparently very protective of their parking lot. There is some construction going on too, but the signage for getting to the temporary door was easy to follow. We buzzed, got inside and were greeted warmly.”

    “Good concert and sports venue. Seating can be snug especially if next to larger individuals. Acess is easy to get in, especially if you take advantage of the sky bridge. Exiting the venue requires some patience.”

    “I enjoyed my stay. The hotel itself is beautiful and fun to explore. The room I stayed in was clean, huge, and comfortable with a beautiful bathroom. The bed was comfortable. I see others complaining about bad service, noise from the speakeasy, and low water pressure. My service was fine as I only really interacted with staff at checkin, which was as expected. My room was cleaned and fresh towels supplied while I was gone for the day which was much appreciated. I stayed on a Sunday and Monday night so the speakeasy was never heard although I did see plenty of people waiting to get in there when I checked in but never heard anything. I did hear road noise earlier in the evening butt never over night. The water pressure was low but I was still able to wash and rinse my thick hair. Overall a beautiful hotel in a good area of town within a 10 min walk of restaurants. I would definitely return.”

    “I would have rated all 5star if the King bed would have been in better shape. It wasn’t horrible but more on the tired side. I would encourage management to do a bed audit to get a 5star. Customer service was great, cleanliness was also great.”

Mandy Burgher was so helpful and accommodating that she made a stressful situation develop into putting us all at ease. Then I found out she was the GM! She went above and beyond and made it sound effortless! I cannot thank her enough!”

    “The rooms were spacious and seemed clean. The bathroom was a little bit outdated with peeling paint and some places that need caulking. The front desk gentleman was super fantastic. Very nice and friendly. No issues with checking in. So glad they had parking connected to the hotel! I was here for an event at the CHI health center. Easy walking distance. Would definitely stay here again.”

They failed that test but others good. I love their breakfast one of the best have ever had in the hotel”
