Creighton University visit

Going to visit my nephew at Creighton U in September. Where is there decent, but not too expensive hotel near the school that I can stay at. Also, good/fun restaurants to take him, he%26#39;s in him upper teens, and he doesn%26#39;t know the area all that well yet. Thanks all.

Creighton is just blocks north of Downtown Omaha, anything downtown will probably work for you. Check TA here for hotel reviews - since I live here we never use hotels.

I%26#39;ll echo grayhorses post.

Anything downtown if fine. If you want to try a priceline 3* in downtown Omaha, you could maybe get something for like $75 with taxes. However there%26#39;s a new Hampton Inn that%26#39;s just opened on 10th and Cumming, which is brand new, but don%26#39;t know much about it.

Here%26#39;s a website with some winning Omaha bids.

The Old Mattress Factory is a newer sports bar that%26#39;s semi close to the Creighton campus on 13th street.

It%26#39;s not bad and usually has a younger hangout. More busy for Qwest center events.

My recommendation for lunch or early dinner would maybe California Taco.

It%26#39;s a younger crowd of people that hit this place up, and is pretty eccletic. I%26#39;ve never been for happy hour, but I think it gets pretty busy with college students. Been there for lunch many times, my recommendation is getting one of the Cali Taco tacos. They%26#39;re excellent.

I%26#39;ll also throw out Billy Frogg%26#39;s bar/grill in the Old Market as a somewhat fun place. They%26#39;ve got great hamburgers and decor is mismatched eccletic pieces. It%26#39;s good/cheap bar food.

If you want to go somewhere nice, Upstream in the old market is our own microbrewery, and definitely is a great lunch or dinner spot.

Hope this helps, if you have any more questions, let us know. Here to help.

Thanks Simon. I will be sure to take your list with me when I go.
