Always love this hotel

This is always our go-to in Council Bluffs. We love the large pool and hot tub area for our kids. Always affordable and yet a lot of amenities. Free breakfast. Next door to a casino and shopping/dining. Really can't ask for more.

Many customers had issues with key card issues opening doors while at the hotel. The breakfast was not ideal. Hair was found on our beds upon entering our room for the first time. The elevator broke on our day of departure.
