“Great Place to Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 30, 2012

Because of business, I stayed 17 nights at this hotel. There was a lot of noise above and next to me right after I checked in, so Raquel moved me upstairs into a corner room which was much better! Raquel was great! The room was clean and quet. There is no elevator, so the move into and out of the room takes more effort. Breakfast included scrambled eggs, sausages, cereals, fruit juices, milk, coffee, tea, waffles, breads, sweet rolls, yogurts, biscuits and gravy. Small indoor pool is nice if you are in it alone or with a maximum of 6 people. Many families come here to stay because of its close proximity to the Henry Doorley Zoo. Consequently, weekends can be much busier and noisier. Hotel is very close to I-80, Council Bluffs IA, and the Old Market in downtown Omaha - good central location.

“Family Trip to Omaha for the Zoo and Museums”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 18, 2012

This hotel was clean and close to the zoo and other tourist sites. The continental breakfast was fabulous and saved us money because we didn't have to go out for breakfast. The pillows were a small size, but they give you 4 per bed, so it wasn't an issue. The faucet in the sink and tub were loose, which makes me think they don't check these things very often. The pool was small, but good enough to splash around in. The staff were very friendly. I will definitely stay here again if we ever make a return trip to Omaha.

Thank you for choosing our hotel for your recent trip to the Zoo! Our location does place you just moments away from most major attractions here in Omaha, and our proximity to I-80 can get you everywhere else in a hurry. We are happy to see that you enjoyed our breakfast so much; we've tried our hardest to include items for everyone, whether you want to stay fit with yogurt and cereal, or indulge with fresh waffles, scrambled eggs, and sausage (it doesn't count if you're on vacation!). We are following up with our maintenance team, as those are things that are supposed to be checked as a part of our preventative maintenance program. Thank you for bringing the issue to our attention, as we will bring it to an immediate area of focus.

Thank you again for choosing the Comfort Inn at the Zoo!

Regards,

Comfort Inn at the Zoo

“Less than desirable.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 6, 2012 via mobile

Fitness center was a JoKe. Room walls so thin all we could hear was barking dogs in a room across the hall and someone who sounded like they were going to cough themselves to death. Beds not comfortable at all.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your recent stay with us. I am disappointed that we were unable to exceed your expectations, and want to apologize on behalf of our staff. While we welcome pets at our hotel, we do ask that they are never left unattended in our rooms; we've found that our furry friends often miss us so much that they want the world to know about it, including our other guests that wish for peace and quiet. Additionally, we are beginning to upgrade our bedding package this Fall. The new package is impressive, and we are positive that everyone will love it.

Thank you again for your comments. It is through the feedback of our guests that we are able to improve in the future. I do hope that you will consider staying with us when you travel back to the Omaha area.

Hospitably,

Comfort Inn at the Zoo

“Pro's and Con's”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 4, 2012

When we first got into our room I noticed a foul odor, almost like sour body odor. Then when I went to check out the bathroom I smelled sewer gas. I got a hold of management, (The Manager was very concerned and acted immediately), we were moved to a different room. The room we were moved to did not have the foul body odor smell, but the ac unit was quite noisy and allowed for a restless nights sleep. The sink faucet in the bathroom needs repair otherwise if you don't have the handle positioned just right the water will remain running, also the bathroom fan was very noisy and in need of repair. On the good side of things the breakfast is awesome.

Room Tip: The room with access to a patio allows a person to sit outside.
