Always a fun and enjoyable stay! Staff is great, ecspecially the gal running the breakfast area. It was very busy and she did an amazing job keeping things filled and positive attitude. Does need to have some repairs in the rooms with tubs and flooring. Otherwise great stay.

Dj- great place

And down for one night for a production at the Orphium Theatre. We like staying here because it close to the theatre and the zoo. Also we always have great service. Will be back again. Free breakfast is also good.

Great stay

Great hotel. We always stay at Holiday Inn Express hotels because of the cleanliness and overall atmosphere of the hotels. This stay was no different. Fast check in, rooms clean and up to date. Pool was fantastic for the kids and was spacious enough for everyone. Breakfast was average, not bad not great. Checkout was very fast as well. Staff were all polite and welcoming. Highly recommended!

2/10 Poor

Lacking knowledgeable staff at check in

Attempted to check in later in the evening and hotel staff was anything but helpful. Ended in canceling the reservation and finding accommodations elsewhere

4/10 Fair

Broken pool and hot tub

I came w kids for the pool and hot tub. Both have been broken for months but they still list them on their website. False advertising. We would have gone somewhere else
Josh, 2-night trip

It is connected to the casino which was nice easy walk.
Michelle, 1-night trip

Staff goes above and beyond to make sure everything is good. Have stayed here many times and it is our go to spot on our way north.
CATHERINE, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was so clean and cozy. The pool/hot tub were very nice (staying open until midnight was a plus). The room was spotless but the beds were rock hard. All in all a very nice place.
Jennifer, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Do Better

Between Hotels.com and Holiday Inn, the overall experience was awful. I contacted hotels.com and Holiday Inn to reschedule my visit because there was an blizzard. I was completely and totally ignored. Even if it were to say, no, tough luck with the weather, that would at least be some communication.
Shelly, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed the pool and the breakfast. We didn't use it, but it was nice to have the option of a free shuttle to and from the zoo in Omaha.
