Q + A
Venue Access
The entrance to the Lincoln Commercial Club is located at 200 N 11th St, between The Kindler Hotel and Misty's Steakhouse. An elevator located inside will take you to the ballroom on the 3rd floor.
Hotel Information
The couple recommends booking with the group block at The Embassy Suites in Downtown Lincoln, NE. This is right across the street from the reception venue, the Lincoln Commercial Club, so if you're staying the night, there's no need to drive.
Other walkable hotels (not included in the block rate) that you could consider include The Graduate, The Kindler, Courtyard by Marriott Lincoln Downtown, and Drury Plaza Hotel Lincoln Downtown.
Parking
The nearest parking is available at Que Place garage (connected via skywalk to both the Embassy & Kindler Hotels, $1.50 per hour), the Embassy Suites garage (directly across the street from the reception venue, $13.50 per day), as well as various street and garage parking available within walking distance of 11th & P Street.
