Top RailsWest Railroad Museum Hotel Reviews

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Council Bluffs/Omaha

8/10 Good

"A reasonably priced and clean room, amenities, and helpful staff. Appreciated the comfortable beds. Breakfast contained hot and cold items. The only drawback was the entryway to the hotel - as the sidewalk was crumbling and uneven."

Magnolia Hotel Omaha

8/10 Good

"Property dated but maintained well. Staff were wonderful. Bar closes much to early. 10pm"

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Council Bluffs - Conv Ctr by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean. All in good and working condition. Breakfast was exceptional with lots of options. All and all a great experience."

BridgePointe Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Husband was bothered by noise from the interstate, which can't really be helped. I am once again disappointed that the only meat option most hotels offer for breakfast is sausage. Since I'm allergic to sausage ingredients that leaves me with no meat for breakfast. Bacon or ham would be nice. Otherwise a pretty good stay."

Quality Inn Council Bluffs I-80

"Room was clean, The hallway had a thc stench from the rooms across us. Windows don't open, a little damp but it was humid evening. No elevator. Breakfast was pretty decent."
