Hotels near Suzanne and Walter Scott Aquarium in Omaha

Worst hotel experience I've had in my 71 years and that includes worldwide travel to include third-world countries. Good points about the motel: NONE Bad Points about the motel: 1) BLACK MOLD around tub and along baseboards by toilet. 2) NO SMOKE ALARM in room. Front desk staff refused to do anything about it or give me another room. Said no other rooms were available altho the parking lot was less than 1/2 full at 10:30 P.M. I was told the reason there was no smoke alarm was because it would go off when people smoked in the room. Note that this is a ”smoke free” facility. 3) Fire sprinkler head in room was wrapped in plastic so even if the system was activated it would not have done any good. 4) Only one small towel and one small bar of soap for both shower and bathroom needs. Had to argue for 10 minutes with the front desk clerk before he relented and brought 2 more towels. No bath mat or wash cloths. Other patrons commented to me they did not have any towels and asked if I had any. 5) Missing ceiling light globe in bathroom and 2 of 4 light bulbs missing from light over the bathroom sink. 6) Torn wallpaper in the room. 7) Grungy bedding and pillows. They seemed years old. 8) Room was dirty. Visible dirt on room heater and other areas. 9) TV didn't work. 10) Dirty coffee maker but no coffee pot or supplies. 11) No plastic drinking cups available; had to cup my hands under the facet in order to get a sip of water. 12) NO HOT WATER at all. 13) Free breakfast non-existent. Juice machine in the lobby but it did not work. No complimentary coffee in the front lobby area. 14) Construction debris throughout the hallways and stairs. Most doors to all the rooms had lots of dried drywall compound on them. 15) Torn/ripped carpets in the hallways. 16) Front desk staff was terrible. Very reluctant/refused to correct problems. Argumentative. Upon check-in, there was a lady with a service dog who was turned away because they would not allow a service animal. When checking out, I stood in an empty lobby at the front desk for 15 minutes after having rung their service bell several times. When a clerk did arrive, he could not (or would not) give me a receipt because he said ”you are not in our system.”

We enjoyed 3 days at the Hampton Inn Council Bluffs. Started off right with coffee and a cookie available when we checked in. Then Jessica at the front desk helped us find a good pizza place nearby, and she also told us about the shuttle service available to anywhere within 5 miles of the hotel. That was fabulous! We were driven in a nice new van back and forth to the zoo and to Old Town Market. Breakfast had a lot of variety, plenty to eat and menu changed everyday. We enjoyed spending time sitting at the chairs and table outside right by the MIssouri river. Our daughter recommended this hotel to us, and we are so glad. We will be back.

The air conditioning unit was shoty and would get very very loud at times. Our daughter and her fiance slept on the fold out couch bed. When I tried to get a blanket for them, I was told they didn't have any and I was given a sheet. The king bed was very nice. Nice location and attached to the ******.

First off, ”microtel” means ”micro-sized room.” But that's OK. It just means you have to walk carefully around the bed and for your trouble, you get a lower price. I'm fine with that. The things I'm not so fine with follow: 1. The check-in clerk was MIA from the desk for at least 20 minutes while several parties arrived and lined up, waiting to check in, all of us puzzled and unsure what to do. When the clerk got back, he gave no apology or explanation. 2. As he processed each of us, he seemed very flustered and unsure how to do this job. I almost felt badly for him. Where was his manager? His training? 3. Parts of our room had been cleaned well, but the carpet was so dirty that the bottoms of our bare feet were black within an hour. Also, the carpet was slightly wet and spongy--the kind of spongy that happens in a humid climate with an evaporative cooler instead of real A/C. Does the management know this? 4. Our curtains seemed nice enough until we closed them and found that the black-out liner backing was full of holes. Not life-threatening, but yucky. 5. The freezer part of our refrigerator was defunct. Again, not vital, but annoying. 6. In the pool area, all the pool towels were soiled and were dumped into a laundry basket there. No clean towels. So before getting wet, I went back to the front desk, where the same clerk didn't seem to know anything about pool towels. He then went back to the laundry room and brought me a hand-towel-sized towel with a pool stripe. Not very helpful. 7. The lock on our bathroom door was loose, causing the handle to pull out of the lock mechanism from the inside. We were always able to get out of the bathroom by sticking our finger into the lock mechanism, but somebody who isn't handy might panic in there. 8. As we were checking out, again, no sight of a clerk for several minutes. Finally, a young woman appeared. My husband said we were checking out of room 123 and handed her our keys. She dropped the keys in the key box (I guess we were supposed to have done that ourselves) and smirked, as if to communicate, ”You bothered me for THIS?” OK, we apologize for the mistake, but a little smile or at least a ”Thank you” wouldn't kill her. So all in all, there was no one thing that would disqualify Microtel from our consideration in the future--just a whole series of actions which communicate that this Microtel location doesn't care about its customers, doesn't plan to maintain the property properly and doesn't plan to train staff to value anything about their jobs. I'm not sure who owns this problem, but we won't be back.

nice place to stay !! recommend

Check-in was quick and easy. The room was large. However, not the cleanest. I travel with antibacterial wipes, thankfully! The toilet lid had urine splashed on the back, and the corner by the tub had dirt and debris. On the duvet cover, there were particles of some variety, and black smudges in several places. One of the pillows also had fresh blue ink, so I'm assuming it was not changed. I also found mold, by the window the next morning when I woke with congestion. The hotel must be under some new management, as the room numbers were handwritten in black marker on the walls. I was on the north side, which was by the semi parking and noisy. Walls were thin I could hear conversations around me. The good... Location was easy, convenience store and restaurants next door, grab and go breakfast provided. Staff was responsive the next morning.

We stayed here one night during our mid west four state driving tour. This was a really nice property. Everyone was extremely nice and accommodating at the hotel. The front desk staff were very kind to look up some tourist information for us while we were checking out our room. The hotel itself is only a short ten minute drive to Omaha. It is very conveniently located near the three ******s, indoor go carts, large movie complex. and other local attractions. It is really close to I-80/29. there are plenty of food options in the area. Our room was very modern and very clean. The room had everything we needed including a fridge. My wife felt that the bed was one of the best hotel beds that we had slept in recently. The pillows were very large and fluffy. The A/C worked really well and was very quiet at night. The property itself sits in an industrial area but was very quiet, especially at night. The price was in line with other hotels in the area. We got back really late from the ****** and there was plenty of parking available.The complimentary breakfast had numerous hot and cold items and everything tasted great. There is something for everyone on the menu. Check-in and check -out was a breeze. The staff was very attentive. Most importantly, my wife left a personal item in the room. We called two days later when we realized she had left something. The staff found it and mailed it to our home which we really appreciated. Would highly recommend this property if you are staying in the area.
