Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Omaha - Council Bluffs

10/10 Excellent

"K"

Countryside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel appears to have been recently remodeled which we appreciated the newer light fixtures, microwave, fridge & furniture! Our hotel room was quiet and bed was comfortable! Breakfast was included and we enjoyed hot scrambled eggs & sausage, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, toast, muffins, apples, bananas, cold cereal, coffee, juice & sparkling water! Thank you for the salt packets. Please consider adding black pepper packets (for the eggs) and peanut butter (as a good source of protein to go on the toast)! The parking lot was very well lit for our evening returns and front desk staff very kind and helpful! A working fitness room would also make this stay a great choice! Will definitely consider staying again when in the area!"
