Top Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Omaha Downtown Old Market

10/10 Excellent

"Clean hotel, incredibly helpful staff and so well located in old market. Darius in Valet was awesome and the guy behind the cook to order counter (so sorry I didn’t get your name) was energetic, made the kids feel so welcome and important and makes some amazing eggs and pancakes! Pool is smaller than what the picture makes it seem but it was big enough. Onsite EV charging was kind of expensive."

Hotel Deco Omaha, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"It was a nice stay. The room was really the highlight. We found everything to be very clean and fresh! The lobby is super small, cute, historic, but unimpressive at night. We only stayed one night and did not eat at the restaurant, but it looked pretty! Elevator and halls were just meh design-wise, but the rooms were lovely. Bathroom was great (but why don’t Midwest hotels install fans? It’s not just the historic places, they’re missing everywhere!), and the beds were cuddly, soft, & super comfy for our family. Loved the smell of the toiletries! Nicely renovated for a small, historic hotel. Staff was kind, not super friendly or welcoming, but no issues. Just a generally nice group of people. Cons: The Summer 2026 construction is unavoidable and a bit much! Very difficult to navigate as an out of towner coming in at night. Parking is wonky - there’s free street parking from 9am-9pm, otherwise it’s paid, or you can use any of the adjacent paid lots (which we did). We felt that was easier since we could see our vehicle and access things easily and saved us some money for morning coffee (valet is an extra $25; lot was $15). Overall, I don’t know if we’d go out of our way to stay here again since we’re only in Omaha once every couple years road-tripping back East for family, but if I had a coupon/deal, or was logistically wanting to be by the Orpheum or Old Market, we’d hit up Hotel Deco again. Solid 3-4 stars!"

Hilton Garden Inn Omaha Downtown/Old Market Area

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great stop as we made our way back home to Texas. Liz, at the front desk, was so nice. She gave us wonderful dinner recommendations AND free drink coupons! We walked around the downtown area, as she recommended, and enjoyed our brief stay there in Omaha 😊"

My Place Hotel - Council Bluffs/Omaha East, IA

10/10 Excellent

"This place was awesome! The kids loved that they had the pool toys for them to use, the whole family loved the kitchenette! It was great to make a meal that wasn’t fast food. The room was the clean, the staff super sweet and helpful and it was an incredible stay! I will be recommending this chain and this property in particular to anyone traveling through Council Bluffs! They are family and pet friendly! It was not expensive but I could have easily paid more for how fantastic it was! I don’t always get time to stop and write reviews, but this place needed it hands down!"
