I will start by writing that I am not hard to please, or so picky I could never be satisfied. I just ask that my hotel room be clean and odor-free with a comfortable mattress and quiet. Contrary to many of the reviews on Tripadvisor, this hotel missed the mark. I stayed with friends for one night while on a... More

Clean, comfortable, great value for the money. The are plenty of more expensive hotels in COuncil Bluffs, but if you are just passing through this one has a very friendly staff, great location for jumping on and off the interstate, and is very clean and comfortable. Will definately stop here again when we are on the road.

Clean, comfy, western style inn. Free cookies, Free hotdogs, great pool and is in the middle of a funky little old west style mall, board walks and all. All that for a great price as well as friendly service. The mattresses aren't top of the line, but I'm not paying for that either. It is next to railroad tracks, but... More

Feels like the managers are trying to do what they can with a really old property in an iffy location. Lobby smelled bad but was clean; room was oddly large but felt dated and cheap. Website says recently remodeled - but recently repainted was more like it. Overall, passable, but I'd definitely try a different place next time.

Hotel was located where we needed it, provided convenient access to interstate and restaurants. The hospitality we received was a surprise. Baked chocolate chip cookies at check-in and free hot dogs were available. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to help us with dinner selections. Ample breakfast fare in a small setting. The pool was clean... More

From the outside it looks old, but inside it was very clean and updated! For $68 and a family of 5 it was great! Right off of I-80. Pool was nice. Rooms were big. Hubby says to stay on 2nd floor because you could hear people above us easily, but I never noticed. Breakfast had oatmeal, biscuits and gravy, but... More

I do not understand the reviews of poor quality. Was travelling from Canada to Colorado, stopped there on the way there and the way back. The rooms were good and comfortable beds. Those indicating the rooms and washrooms were old... I don't know what you are talking about. Both our rooms were clean and new. We stayed at many motels/hotels... More
