Overall, this would be a good hotel property - not amazing - but good. However, the insanely bright flashing light of the smoke detector (compared to smoke detectors in dozens of other hotels rooms I've stayed in through years of work-related and recreational travel) requires a WARNING: Bring a sleep mask. Or you may want to pack some masking tape or duct tape to temporarily cover the bulb of the smoke detector (of course, without doing anything that would interfere with its operation). This may not be an issue if you are not a heavy sleeper or if you find flashing lights restful. Even sleeping in a position that faced away from the detector, the intense, flashing, green light (about every 10 seconds) lit up the ceiling, walls, and sides of the pillow. I've experienced issues with flashing smoke detector lights before - but none like this one. Who was the unqualified buffoon at Marriott who selected this model for a room intended for sleep?! Apart from this [significant, for me] flashing-light-in-room issue, the hotel was decent. It seemed safe and reasonably clean. The rate was reasonable. The front desk staff were professional and competent. Bedding was comfortable. The location is convenient for accessing nearby downtown Omaha. The setting is a little bland - in the middle of an area of parking lots and sports venues. You'll need a car to get to more interesting areas of Council Bluffs & Omaha for meals, etc. The soundproofing is not great. We could hear our neighbors TV clearly most evenings as well as noise in the hallways. The hotel provides coffee but does not offer tea - in the rooms or in the front lobby. I guess the same genius who saved money by buying a combo smoke detector/lighthouse decided that lowering service another notch in order to save $0.50 per guest (on tea) was a smart idea for a business in the hospitality industry. A final note on the smoke detector. The light bulb on this model illuminates both on the outside (like most models) but also (deviously!) within the inside of the plastic frame - and the frame has a big grating. So even if you put a small piece of tape or a band-aid on the exposed, outside part of the bulb, you will still get to see some flash from within the grating. With apologize to the reader if this review seems a bit obsessed with the smoke detector, but I have stayed in literally hundreds of hotel rooms and not experienced a flashing smoke detector light THIS intense before. My primary goal for my hotel room is sleep, and it boggles my mind that someone chose a model with a very bright flashing light for a hotel room. Come prepared.
Tried to check in, but they didn't have the reservations, asked if there were any rooms available and was told no, we are sold out. Had to wait for other family members, so we went online and guess what, they had rooms available???? Made reservations and went back in, they then found a connecting room. Amazing. Later checked on the rooms and 1 was for only one night and the other for 2 nights. So I went down to the front desk and was told there were no rooms available for the next night, so one couple would have to check out. Went back to the room and again checked online and would you believe it, they had rooms available for the next night also, but it wouldn't let me reserve it because I was already there. Rather than go down again and listen to the lies, I waited until in the morning and Lisa at the front desk took care of everything.

My wife and I stayed 3 nights, arriving before 2PM to a welcoming receptionist who checked my ID, processed my credit card, then presented the key cards with the wifi. Room #101 was LVP floored and clean with a comfortable king, desk & chair, clothes bar, small couch, medium sized refrigerator, micro, coffee machine and medium sized TV without a guide(CNBC, CNN, ESPN, Fox S, HGTV, networks, etc). A large opening window looked out to the parking lot with some road noise. The sink was separate from the toilet with a tub/shower, fan and liquid soaps. Good secure wifi, ample outlets, good lighting and under window AC/heat. The 6AM breakfast was good: OJ, no fruit, corn flakes/fruit loops, yogurt, hard boiled/scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, oatmeal, waffles, breads, packaged sweets, muffins and coffee. Overall, we had a quiet night’s sleep with nice staff and enjoyed our stay.
CCarla WI stayed there last year and it was in bad shape. I was told the hotel was going to be remodeled and asked me to return this year. I agreed. Arrived on 9/12/24. No toilet paper and room looked like the floor wasn’t cleaned. Got up the next morning ready to shower and noticed there was no shower curtain. I wasn’t going to get dressed and go to office to find a curtain as I would be late fir the convention I was attending. Went ahead with shower & then started cleaning up water. Moved the trash can and the floor was filthy. The bath mat was also dirty. The mini refrigerator had chocolate or something inside. Got dressed and went to office. Wound up with another room with 2 double beds instead of the small “queen “ bed that I had -it wasn’t much cleaner than the previous one. At least there was toilet paper and shower curtain. The office did say for me not to worry-they wouldn’t charge me for the extra bed…well thanks a lot!!!! I feel they should have refunded my money. I WILL NOT EVER STAY THERE AGAIN and would NEVER recommend it.
