This room was absolutely perfect. Big and spacious, the jetted tub was so lovely. Breakfast was also a wide selection and delicious. I never thought about vacationing in Omaha until I went to the comedy show I stayed here for, but now I'm inclined to come back just to relax in this hotel! 11/10!
Convenient to Omaha attractions (LOVED the Zoo and Saturday Market!). Hotel was clean, room was spacious. Breakfast fully stocked each morning - included high protein/low card options daily!
This was a great hotel! Very clean and had newly renovated and updated rooms and baths. The bed was one the most comfortable hotel beds I’ve ever slept on. Breakfast was delicious, as well! I would definitely stay here again if I’m ever back in Council Bluffs!
Great hotel! Breakfast was outstanding, so much to offer along with freshly ground coffee beans brewed for coffee. Beds comfortable and rooms decorated with a minimalist feel. Staff from front desk to breakfast staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. I would have give an excellent rating for every category except the hot tub was not working which was the one thing I was looking forward to enjoying.
Newly renovated hotel which was very nice. Friendly staff. Negative- 2 pillows we tried to use smelled like they hadn’t changed the pillow cases from previous guests, so that was gross.
