My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were not quite up to standard with issues like non-functional amenities and uncomfortable beds, but we appreciated the effort to maintain cleanliness. While the service was attentive and helpful, there were moments of unattentiveness. The location was convenient for our activities despite needing some updates. The dining options were good but pricey, and the facilities were satisfactory though some areas showed signs of wear.

Our room didn't have all the amenities working, and the beds were uncomfortable. Despite noticeable stains and a hot temperature, they did match the description. We're still waiting for the $50 'hold' on the card to be removed.

While the location needed some freshening up in terms of room furniture, it was great for accessing the nearby areas and the Council Bluffs commercial zone. It was particularly convenient for our visit to the Mid-America Center.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms could've been a lot cleaner, and it was frustrating that they put us in rooms next to each other on different floors. However, the staff were friendly and helpful, even though it seemed like they were pulled from other work areas to cover the front desk. The location was convenient to the Mid-America Center, but the area was torn up due to burst pipes. The dining options were decent with a nice variety of items available, but it was a bit disappointing that it felt like a rodeo rather than a traditional dining experience.
