The room was extremely clean and comfortable. The staff was awesome. I did not want to get out of bed the next morning.
Positives: The bed and pillows.
Negatives: No dining facility.

This hotel was ok. It has a nice lobby and a decent free breakfast, but the rooms were very dated (80's). However, there was construction going on during our stay, as they are renovating rooms. We didn't know it was across the street from a casino, which we found a bit sleazy, but it was fine. Finally, the parking lot is very small and cannot accommodate a trailer. You must park in the casino's lot.
Positives: Free breakfast.
Negatives: Location-across the street from a casino and the room were very dated.

This hotel was practically brand new. My room was very comfortable. The staff was always helpful. The location is fantastic for someone who likes to be steps away from a great casino like the Horseshoe and a dog track like Bluffs Run.

Negatives: The pool and fitness room were small. The outdoor patio was small.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 10 Apr 2008 rated 1 out of 10.

My overall experience with this hotel was a great one. The employees were very helpful; the room was clean and comfortable. I was able to easily locate an ATM, ice, and snacks. The arcade was enjoyable and the free breakfast was fantastic.
Positives: The music I heard when I entered, the breakfast, and the bed, the arcade.
Negatives: There was a special one time use napkin on the bathroom counter that had a stain on the underside of it.

Hotel met our needs. It was clean, comfortable and affordable. It was close enough to the airport without hearing the planes flying overhead the entire night.
Positives: The continental breakfast was great and the rooms were clean.
Negatives: Not easy to get to since it is behind the casino and not always convinced map quest is right, but it did get us there.

Had never stayed in a Country Inn & Suites before. I was really impressed with the decor and staff. Would definitely come back!
Positives: Well appointed lobby & rooms, super friendly & professional staff, hot continental breakfast.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 19 Jul 2007 rated 10 out of 10.
The staff at this hotel was absolutely wonderful. The airlines lost my luggage and the staff did everything they could (much more than Frontier airlines did) to replace toiletries etc. I cannot recommend it enough. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and plan to go back.
Positives: The staff was wonderful, so was room & facilities.
Negatives: Can't think of anything.

Overall the Country Inn is very nice. Its location is perfect for leisure just minutes away from the Henry Dourly Zoo and right next door to the Horseshoe Casino. Free high speed internet was a great asset and the free breakfast was great. The staff however was very unfriendly and housekeeping came very early before check out time.
Positives: Great breakfast and high speed internet.
Negatives: Employees were very unfriendly.

I have stayed at several country inn and suites. Each experience I have had before this trip has been great. The walls and floors in this hotel must have been made out of paper. You could hear the people in the next rooms and above as if they were in the same room with you. When the guests walked in the room above it sounded as if they were going to come through the ceiling. Very unpleasant stay.
Positives: Location.
Negatives: Could here everything through the walls and people walking above you.

Great motel! I will stay here again when I visit the Council Bluffs/Omaha area.
Positives: It is within 5 minutes to downtown Omaha.
Negatives: Its kind of hard to find when you come off the interstate.

This hotel was clean and quiet considering that our room was facing the front of the nearby casino. It was within 10 minutes of the Zoo, and only 15 minutes to the children's museum. The hotel pool was nicely maintained and the breakfast there was great!
Positives: Everyone was great to us, and the breakfast was awesome!
Negatives: I didn't like that the Internet connection was only dial-up.
