Hampton Inn Omaha Midtown-Aksarben Area
Everything was good. Quiet, clean, good bed and pillows. Breakfast was good, but the forks and spoons were turned up in a cup so that you couldn’t grab one without touching the others where a person would put it in their mouths.

Comfort Inn SW Omaha I-80
The room was large and clean. The motel smelled good, unlike several others in the area. The staff was pleasant but difficult to understand!
