Magnolia Hotel Omaha

8/10 Good

"Property dated but maintained well. Staff were wonderful. Bar closes much to early. 10pm"

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Council Bluffs - Conv Ctr by IHG

BridgePointe Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Husband was bothered by noise from the interstate, which can't really be helped. I am once again disappointed that the only meat option most hotels offer for breakfast is sausage. Since I'm allergic to sausage ingredients that leaves me with no meat for breakfast. Bacon or ham would be nice. Otherwise a pretty good stay."
