My Place Hotel - Council Bluffs/Omaha East, IA

10/10 Excellent

"Todo estaba perfecto lo único que me hizo sentir un poco incómoda fue que a la hora de bañarme no estaban llenos los pomos de champú ni de acondicionador ni de gel de baño pero por lo demás todo estuvo muy bien"

Magnolia Hotel Omaha

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay, front desk lady was very friendly and explained where everything was located and the times for milk and cookies, coffee, breakfast, etc. the property is beautiful, the only issue we had was the awkward door handles on the bathroom, but it was so minor it wasn’t enough to complain about at the time, we had a bottle of champagne in our fridge on arrival with glasses which was a nice touch. It is walking distance from multiple shops and restaurants, we enjoyed our stay and the staff were great, we will definitely stay again"

Harrah's Council Bluffs – A Caesars Rewards Destination

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, carpets on property could use upgrades. Valet staff was excellent in answering questions and very friendly. Parking garage nice especially because of all the storms in the area. Casino seemed very crowded and smoky. Food options limited. Would be nice if they could add a coffee option and light snacks options as not many in the area."

Moxy Omaha Downtown

8/10 Good

"Beautiful building and wonderful location being right in the heart of old market. My only complaint which unfortunately is a rather big one, is my room had an extremely hard thin bed. It was a standard queen room 3rd floor and it was like sleeping on a carpeted floor almost. May need new mattresses but other then that it was great"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Council Bluffs/Omaha

8/10 Good

"Family stay for 3 nights. Great staff and good place. Breakfast was good, but in a small area. They open up the meeting room next to the breakfast area... I missed it on the first day:) Walls might be thin or it is from having a connecting room.. the noise from the other room can be heard (sorry to the next door neighbors for having my TV up loud). all in all would stay here again. again Great Staff."
