Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Council Bluffs, IA

10/10 Excellent
"Nice hotel, with a clean, comfortable room, friendly, helpful staff, and a good breakfast selection. Enjoyed the breakfast burrito offering! The only thing I’d add would be the addition of shear curtains to offer light and privacy, as the only curtains in the room were effective, blackout ones. Pleasant accommodations."

"Stayed a weekend with my family, lobby was clean and clerk was nice and friendly. Room was good for my family size and for the price. Had some wear and tear, specially in the bathroom. Breakfast was not the best, coffee was basically water. Overall, we enjoyed our stay."
