Magnolia Hotel Omaha
I stay at Magnolia at least three times per year and each time is enjoyable. The rooms are clean and quiet. The staff is always friendly and the location is fantastic. Plus, the lobby always smells so good. The fragrance the hotel uses in their diffuser should be sold at their front desk.
