Hotels in der Nähe von Lake Manawa Beach, Council Bluffs

I stayed there last year and it was in bad shape. I was told the hotel was going to be remodeled and asked me to return this year. I agreed. Arrived on 9/12/24. No toilet paper and room looked like the floor wasn’t cleaned. Got up the next morning ready to shower and noticed there was no shower curtain. I wasn’t going to get dressed and go to office to find a curtain as I would be late fir the convention I was attending. Went ahead with shower & then started cleaning up water. Moved the trash can and the floor was filthy. The bath mat was also dirty. The mini refrigerator had chocolate or something inside. Got dressed and went to office. Wound up with another room with 2 double beds instead of the small “queen “ bed that I had -it wasn’t much cleaner than the previous one. At least there was toilet paper and shower curtain. The office did say for me not to worry-they wouldn’t charge me for the extra bed…well thanks a lot!!!! I feel they should have refunded my money. I WILL NOT EVER STAY THERE AGAIN and would NEVER recommend it.

Das Einchecken war schnell und einfach. Das Zimmer war groß. Allerdings nicht die sauberste. Ich reise zum Glück mit antibakteriellen Tüchern! Der Toilettendeckel hatte Urinspritzer auf der Rückseite und die Ecke neben der Wanne hatte Schmutz und Ablagerungen. Auf dem Bettbezug befanden sich Partikel verschiedener Art und an mehreren Stellen schwarze Flecken. Eines der Kissen hatte auch frische blaue Tinte, daher gehe ich davon aus, dass es nicht gewechselt wurde. Ich fand auch Schimmel am nächsten Morgen am Fenster, als ich mit Staus aufwachte. Das Hotel muss unter einer neuen Leitung stehen, da die Zimmernummern mit schwarzen Stiften an den Wänden handgeschrieben waren. Ich war auf der Nordseite, die am Semiparkplatz lag und laut war. Die Wände waren dünn, ich konnte Gespräche um mich herum hören. Das gute... Die Lage war einfach, Supermarkt und Restaurants nebenan, Frühstück zum Mitnehmen. Das Personal war am nächsten Morgen ansprechbar.

Overall, this would be a good hotel property - not amazing - but good. However, the insanely bright flashing light of the smoke detector (compared to smoke detectors in dozens of other hotels rooms I've stayed in through years of work-related and recreational travel) requires a WARNING: Bring a sleep mask. Or you may want to pack some masking tape or duct tape to temporarily cover the bulb of the smoke detector (of course, without doing anything that would interfere with its operation). This may not be an issue if you are not a heavy sleeper or if you find flashing lights restful. Even sleeping in a position that faced away from the detector, the intense, flashing, green light (about every 10 seconds) lit up the ceiling, walls, and sides of the pillow. I've experienced issues with flashing smoke detector lights before - but none like this one. Who was the unqualified buffoon at Marriott who selected this model for a room intended for sleep?! Apart from this [significant, for me] flashing-light-in-room issue, the hotel was decent. It seemed safe and reasonably clean. The rate was reasonable. The front desk staff were professional and competent. Bedding was comfortable. The location is convenient for accessing nearby downtown Omaha. The setting is a little bland - in the middle of an area of parking lots and sports venues. You'll need a car to get to more interesting areas of Council Bluffs & Omaha for meals, etc. The soundproofing is not great. We could hear our neighbors TV clearly most evenings as well as noise in the hallways. The hotel provides coffee but does not offer tea - in the rooms or in the front lobby. I guess the same genius who saved money by buying a combo smoke detector/lighthouse decided that lowering service another notch in order to save $0.50 per guest (on tea) was a smart idea for a business in the hospitality industry. A final note on the smoke detector. The light bulb on this model illuminates both on the outside (like most models) but also (deviously!) within the inside of the plastic frame - and the frame has a big grating. So even if you put a small piece of tape or a band-aid on the exposed, outside part of the bulb, you will still get to see some flash from within the grating. With apologize to the reader if this review seems a bit obsessed with the smoke detector, but I have stayed in literally hundreds of hotel rooms and not experienced a flashing smoke detector light THIS intense before. My primary goal for my hotel room is sleep, and it boggles my mind that someone chose a model with a very bright flashing light for a hotel room. Come prepared.

Die Klimaanlage war schlampig und wurde manchmal sehr, sehr laut. Unsere Tochter und ihr Verlobter schliefen auf dem ausklappbaren Schlafsofa. Als ich versuchte, ihnen eine Decke zu besorgen, wurde mir gesagt, sie hätten keine und ich bekam ein Laken. Das Kingsize-Bett war sehr schön. Schöne Lage und an das ****** angeschlossen.

This hotel was great! Everything was clean and the bed was amazing. I will say that the pillows are embarrassingly small. Of course, the bathroom was a little outdated but it was clean so it was fine. I will say while I was checking in, this gentleman named jerry was checking in in front of me. Apparently he stays for four days every week. He was upset because his usual room that he likes (odd number and on the end of the hallway) was taken already. He was incredibly hostile to the front desk worker. I forgot her name but she was a manager and had dark hair. She was very nice to this gentleman and handled the situation appropriately. Jerry was so hostile that she had to get security to come. He threatened her and cussed her up and down over this particular room. She literally had put him in the next room over, which should have been fine. Regardless this made me and my husband and the other guest have an extremely long wait to check in. This gentleman ended up yelling at all of us when he was finally done checking in. The way he treated this hotel employee made me want to go stay at Amstar because I didn’t feel safe. You would think that Harrah’s would care more about their employees safety than one single player who obviously just needs a place to stay for four days a week. Other than this awful check in experience, I enjoyed my stay.

Ich habe durch eine der vielen Rabatt-Hotel-Websites gebucht. Die Website bewertete dieses Hotel 8.5, aber es sollte bewertet werden um ein 5. Wir wurden gesagt, dass es sich um ein ganzes Nichtraucherhotel handelt. Aber unser Zimmer war von früheren Rauchern wieder rauchen. Ich bin extrem empfindlich mit schrecklichen Allergien, so habe ich versucht, Lysol zu sprühen, aber es half nicht viel. Die meisten Hotels lassen den Fan ins Zimmer gehen, um es aus zu sitzen, aber dieses Zimmer war heiß, als wir eintraten, was den Geruch des Rauchens viel schlimmer macht. Das Zimmer war “ok” aber sehr grundlegende. Ich hätte ein viel besseres Hotel für den Preis erhalten, den wir hier bezahlt haben. Auch, die Website reklamiert “Frühstück inbegriffen” aber als wir fragten, wir wurden es’ bah mmh “kontinental” Stil gesagt. Insgesamt könnte dieses Hotel sicher von einigen großen Rauchen und mehr Upgrades profitieren. Besonders die Betten!
