Was told at check in that there was a water main break, given an estimated time of 4-6 hours, not the property's fault in any way. Water was restored 15 hours later, 2 hours before I checked out. Waste of a hot tub room. I wish I had stayed somewhere else.

The Hotel is one of the best in Omaha, offering clean and comfortable rooms and baths at very competitive prices compared to other establishments in the area. Whether you're here to try your luck at the casino or explore downtown Omaha, you'll find great value. Don't miss the all-you-can-eat crab leg buffet offered on weekends!
