Magnolia Omaha Downtown - Old Market

8/10 Good

"We enjoy older hotels that are created from disused warehouses, or mills etc. rather than the cookie-cutter modern versions, as plush as they may be. That is why we are attracted to the Magnolia Hotel. The hotel has a nostalgia to it and we appreciate the spacious feel of the property, its furnishings and layout."
