Light water pressure
The hotel was clean and the rooms were nice, the check in receptionist (Dana I think) was super friendly. The only reason I rated it a little lower was because of the water pressure, when I needed to shower the pressure was a trickle of a stream coming out. It took over 20 minutes of running the water for the pressure to increase - which wasn’t ideal as the morning of was super busy.

When we checked in, no one was at the desk. The person working was not welcoming or friendly. Barely communicated with us the basic check in information. We thought there was a restaurant in the hotel but found out the bar only served a pizza. Just not a very welcoming hotel. It was clean, modern & the room was comfortable. The front desk staff were a big let down!

During Check-in the front desk was AMAZING, we were driving across country because my 70-year old mother had and expired license. The front desk accommodated us, and was more than friendly.

Great Hotel, a little warm
We were pleasantly surprised by the condition and quality of the hotel based on the price. Our only issue was temperature, the common areas were very warm and our room never cooled down fully. It was June so I know the system was working hard, but we run hot so temperature is very important.

Enjoyed the convenience to the convention center, the quietness, and the security of the elevator. Although one elevator had the security scanner disabled which is a touch concerning.

They would only allow 7 people in the pool area at one time. Very disappointing we didn’t even get to use the pool because there was always 7 people in there.

The room was clean and the shower was good. The $12 charge for microwaved eggs with a couple of sausages seemed a little over priced as in most hotels that I go to during traveling include a free breakfast. I think if I was going to Council Bluffs again I would stay somewhere else.
