We chose the R.I. for our multi-generation family weekend . The layout of the penthouse suite is different than any other 2 bedroom RI we have stayed in. There was a 1/2 wall that did double duty as the headboard in the loft bedroom...not ideal for a toddler but the downstairs bedroom worked well for that.

Room was clean and recently redone but did have a stale smoke smell. Breakfast was same as always but could have used a little more seating, maybe that was why they had the to-go boxes available. Also only had outdoor pool and no hottub.

Location was near shopping and places to eat, not a scary area.

There is nothing special about this Residence Inn. It meets all of the basic qualities of the Marriott Residence Inn brand without going above and beyond. Stayed here for about a month on a business trip and if you are loyal to Marriott, this is the only "homey" type place available in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area.

Overall, the room was clean but does attract flies and lady bugs in the Fall when the door or patio door is open. The room did have a great set of cutting knives to use and the kitchen area was very clean and very functional. The wifi is okay but not great. You won't be watching too many movies on your computer. They do not offer premium cable channels. Breakfast and evenings snacks are okay. Nothing to write home about.

This a good place to stay but don't expect anything very high-end. It gets the job done if you need a place with a kitchen for a long term stay.

This is one of the worst experiances from a solid brand I have ever experianced.
1) The door would not lock; it would appear locked but would push open as easily as if you were pushing a shopping cart. The facilities person did come up and fix this issue but on follow up, the management thought there was no reason to check a single other door on any unit. So, 'Beware' of your security if you plan on staying there.
Also, while this area is not as bad as Detroit, some parts of LA or Texas; it is not a safe area, yet in spite of the obvious crime presence they ignore the most basic of security measures.
2) Also 'Beware' if you plan on using a wireless device. There are two wireless networks, "Residence Inn" and "I-bahn". Both networks have excellent signal strength and both are unlocked. However, the I-bahn is associated with this Residence Inn, the network named "Residence Inn' is a fraud. I did not speak with them but a reasonable guess is they are trying to hack unsuspecting guests personal information.
3) So, not only is someone likely trying to 'hack' your information, the hotel management knows this and is doing NOTHING to inform guests (at least until I stayed there) about this security hazard.
4) Follow up conversations with hotel management have not gone well. My humble opinion; management here is not part of the solution.

I have had great experiences with many Residence Inns around the country; this one was bad by itself and horrible by comparison. I will NEVER stay at this facility again.

very Comfortable bed! Nicely laid out suite with plenty of space. Did not feel like a hotel room. The staff was friendly and gave good directions.
