So we were going to a Nebraska home football game (USC Fan) and this place is right near a Big Red Express (Bus Service) that goes round trip to the stadium. There is a Ruby Tuesday right by plus a bunch of food places right down the road. Place was clean, quiet, beds were comfortable. Did run out of hot water on the last day but the water was still wet. A convenient place to go catch a game from.
