The room and breakfast was excellent. We had plenty of room for 3 of us to stay and the bathrooms were spacious. The one and only thing we were missing was just the vent fan in the bathrooms but we survived. Thank you for everything. Great place

Two Day Family Get Away
This property is clean and pleasing to the eye. There are moments where wear and tear are evident, [ a little wallpaper peel in the bathroom of our room, scuffing on walls in the hall/doors etc] however, excellent choice if you are staying for comfort and amenities as well as proximity for everything you would like to see and do in Omaha. Everything we wanted in our short trip was only 5 to 7 min away, and easy to navigate. The staff during the morning and afternoon was wonderful, overnight desk clerk was a little rough around the edges. Lets just say she was fun to listen to with her colorful comments after hanging up the phone while I hung out in the lobby. It was entertaining at least. Breakfast was a total spread each day, and definitely elevated from your traditional continental. The hotel is connected to Ameristar, very convenient for dining and late night / can't sleep money loss. The pool is huge , shared with Holliday Inn from Ameristar. I wasn't expecting house keeping to clean at all in our two day stay, but they did! Came back to fresh towels and made beds. They also moved our stuff around [bags and items that were on the bed] with the upmost care so they could clean. All and all, will definitely chose to stay here again.

Great place to stay if your going to the Omaha Zoo. We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed our time at the hotel. The pool is big for a hotel pool and the pool area is nice and turns into an indoor outdoor space when the weather is nice. The staff was very nice and helpful. The casino is right next door along with a great bar and grill. We had pizza from the sports bar and it fantastic. We would definitely book here again.
