The only markdown on this property is it didn’t have an elevator. Otherwise the property was excellent! It was easy to get to, area around the property was nice, easy free parking, and most of all the bed was very comfortable. My wife and I slept great! Easy check in. Staff was great especially Michael. My rental car had a flat tire next morning. When Michael came to work he noticed the flat tire. He offered assistance. Aired the tire up and got us on our way. A great start to the morning!

The woman who checked us in was so friendly and helpful, but the next morning the clerk barely acknowledged us. The room was very clean and comfortable. Well worth the price.

We enjoyed a nice weekend in Council Bluffs. This hotel was clean and neat although when we arrived we were on a non-smoking floor and we definitely smelled smoke in our bathroom.

Low rate for one night stay. There was some type of cleaning smell that was stray the whole stay. Bed and pillows hard as a rock. Looking to save money, you’d be fine. We checked out and found another hotel for more comfort.

Nestled in among car lots, u-Haul rental offices, and fast food…what an odd place for a motel. Hard to find, tiny, tiny room and a bathroom where the toilet barely cleared the door. No Kleenex provided, and for some reason we got stuck on a garden level, down 8 or 9 steps from the reception desk. Lumpy pillows and noisy AC. I didn’t read any bad reviews on Expedia so thought I would give it a try. I’ll be more careful next time, this was a sad experience.
