Ive stayed here 6 seperate times in the last 4 years, and I can see why people have complained. Its true this hotel has issues and is probably struggling to stay in business. Thats why the rooms are slowly being renovated and the hallways and facilities aren't at the moment. But, the staff have always been extremely friendly and helpful, and the price was always low enough for me to overlook lots of old tired decor and general rundown look. My experiences have always been that the room was clean and comfortable, the tv, internet and shower were fine, and the pool was nice especially for the low prices and the location. In my line of work Ive stayed in everything from 5 star hotels down to tents in the Iraqi desert, so I can appreciate a place for whats its doing right as well as wrong. I say give this place a try especially if you have kids who want to enjoy the indoor pool. But if theres anything you dont like, bring it up right away and I believe they will bend over backwards to keep you happy.

My family and I had to go to Omaha for family Trip, and we called around to hotels in the west Omaha area. The rates that we were quoted by the Carlisle was the most reasonable.
We stayed for 3 nights and found the our stay very enjoyable! The staff was very friendly and obliging, our room was spacious and decorated nicely. We swam in their heated indoor pool every chance that we got! My young son and daughter loved that part the most! ;)

My wife and I especially enjoyed the breakfast. It saved us from having to gather the children and trudge out into the rain just to eat. When we arrived we were greeted by Troy, he helped us take our bags to our room and great at giving us directions to local attractions!

The young lady behind the desk was Sandra, and she was fantastic at giving us a speedy check in and making sure we were comfortable.

We are going back to Omaha for Christmas time and we already made our reservation at the Carlisle!

If if you are looking for a great value with old world style hospitality then myself and my family recommended checking out this family orientated atmosphere of the Carlisle hotel!

Myself and my child lived at this hotel while waiting to close on some property. The staff was friendly, and went out of there way. My daughter had a visit from santa I don't think she will ever forget. THANKS CARLISLE STAFF! It was clean. The only real complaint I would have is that the pool area was to cool for me, but my daughter had a great time. I had free internet, cable, and always had hot water. It is a budget hotel and it is older. If you want to stay in a new hotel then stay in a new hotel and pay a lot more money. I am sure I will stay in this hotel again in the near future. Personally I want to thank the Carlisle staff.

I hope they've made some changes or closed down because this place was bad. I had to stay here while working as everything else was booked up for the College World Series. It was filthy. The carpet was sticky. The walls were dirty. There was no hot water on the first morning. The fitness center was really just a collection of garage sale looking equipment from the 1970s. To top it off, there is a pretty raunchy looking night club attached to the building called "Da'Boom".

I've done some traveling in remote parts of Asia and South America. I've found those places to be far better than The Carlisle.
