Two of us staying here tonight, as we have many times in the past. Business, of course. Our technician has a new Dodge 5500 service truck with the company logo prominently displayed, a jib crane, air compressor and welder on the truck...typical heavy equipment service truck. Monday night during the late hours, someone removed the particulate filter (catalytic convertor) from... More 

First I want to say thanks to the staff who gave us a free upgrade. It was an awesome way to enjoy a getaway weekend celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. Thanks for making it a little more special. The hotel has a very nice area to sit and enjoy the river passing by. The proximity of the hotel to the... More 

Just needed a stop for the night. Clean and comfortable. Walls were a little thin. Could hear people walking above us and talking next door. Thankfully, everyone retired early.' No outside noise, I would ask for an odd number room. Bathrooms were a very nice size. Breakfast was very good! I believe our room had a safe and a tiny... More 

We got a very spacious room. It was very clean and comfortable. I thought the bed was going to be to soft, but it ended up being the most comfortable we had slept in away from home in a long time. The staff was very friendly and we really enjoyed the breakfast.

The bed was comfortable, location was good, right by the river. The breakfast was average. On the downside: They were painting and closed the patio out by the river, checkout time is 11:00 and before 9:30 a.m. we had a knock on the door and 30 seconds later housekeeping walked right in our room. We were less than thrilled with... More 

Typical Holiday Inn Express. Beds were comfortable and facilities were adequate for an overnight stay. There is road construction and detours around the hotel and made finding the hotel a little difficult after dark. Breakfast was fine, typical fare.

Not much around this hotel, other than the convention center and the Horseshoe Casino. It's fairly new, and OK. Standard HIE. Three floors, parking all around. This is a perfectly serviceable property, new enough so that none of the no-smoking rooms have actually been smoked in. Doors slam loudly, though, so that if you are unlucky to be next to... More 

Hotel was fine. Room was clean. Need paper plates instead of styrofoam as my muffin melted into the plate. Negative is all the road construction. Hard getting there but pretty easy getting back on the highway in the morning. Need 2 servings of regular coffee in room. 1 caffeine and 2 decaf.

When we entered the Holiday Inn Express in Council Bluffs, we were greeted by a cloud of cigarette smoke. The manager had placed an ashtray and a bench just west of the main entrance. When smokers went outside, to escape the non-smoking interior of the hotel, they ended up right next to the main entrance, where the prevailing breezes could... More
