“Good value but entire property needs deep cleaning esp carpet”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011

Good value and location BUT not a whole lot of grass for the dog to go wee wee. Friendly staff and helpful, no bell carts to haul your luggage but the front desk clerk let us use their laundry cart which was tremendously helpful because our room was on the 3rd floor (smking floor). The carpet in the room needs some serious deep cleaning including the ones in the hallways.
Our refrigerator did not work and the manager refused to switch a working refrigerator from another vacant room for us to use. We have medicine that needs to be refrigerated. They offered us to use their office Fridge to cool our meds.

Room Tip: Smoking room is on the 3rd floor so if you are hauling lots of bags and you smoke, be advised that t...

Clean and comfortable but two things niggled me - no free wifi and difficult approach. However it's good value and the staff are pleasant.

“Not great, but no horror story”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed here during a long road trip. Long story short: the bed got me off the floor and out of my car. Didn't have anything stolen from the car, but had kind of a weird feeling about leaving anything in it so I brought EVERYTHING inside, which I would recommend. Not really a terrible area of town or anything (as far as I know), but just... the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Something was off.

The room wasn't that clean, and I'm absolutely not a stickler. I just hate stains in the bedsheets. The staff was not terribly friendly, but not unfriendly--did their job, as I would expect in a Motel 6. Not staying there to get Park Plaza level service.

All in all, I gave it a poor instead of an average rating because I left feeling slightly less than satisfied, giving what I paid, so I wasn't comfortable saying "it's all just fine." I stayed at a Motel 6 the night before too, and paid about $20 less for three times the quality. I HAVE seen worse--saw worse on my trip, in fact. However, if you want to be really close to an exit ramp in Council Bluffs, it's bearable for a night.

“Ok for the money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Ok, So I just need a place to crash for about 6 hours and evrything else was sold out due to snow storms. Stopped at this place and for the most part was happy. Small rooms, super nice staff and the rooms were clean enough. If you need a cheap stay and not into the big flashy flashy. Stop here. The bed was very very firm (hard) other than that it was OK in a pinch and only 40.00 bucks.
