Check in took close to 45 minutes due to the system being down front desk ladles were awesome but very overwhelmed with no support from anyone. Next the room for my brother in law already had someone in it which made his anxiety explode,then the next room my mother in law went to check out for him also had someone in it as well. Then in my mother in laws room there was no smoke alarm it just had wires hanging from the ceiling. Next her bathroom sink did not work and her shower leaked and also no garbage can. We booked two nights and the rooms were not cleaned and the whopping two towels were not replaced so we had no towels to shower with after a long day at the zoo. The amenities that were provided to us during our stay fell extremely short of what was promised on the website which makes the price we paid seem like a grand overpayment of services provided. We came to Omaha and chose this hotel to be close to the Zoo to make our weekend easy and relaxing and this has been far from nice or relaxing. We should get at least half of our money back because that is more equivalent to the services we received.

Unfortunately, the worst Choice Hotel I've stayed at. None of our lamps worked, electrical outlet plate broken, bedding shredded on one bed, extension cords used for mini fridge, lamps didn't work and one cord was frayed. Toilet backed up and my husband given the plunger. Entire lobby smelled like cigarette smoke mainly from the front desk staff. This was a disappointing stay and I hope that things are fixed due to the proximity of the zoo. Would've checked out but my credit card was already charged full amount. Find another location it will be worth it.

Wanted a place to stay with a pool. They were waiting for the state pool permit to allow guest to swim. The rooms were clean. The beds were comfortable. There was something wrong with drains, they didn't know about until I brought to their attention. Traveling with young children expecting to swim was a disappointment.

Beautiful outside and Carol was very welcoming. The hallways have been redone and reflect the nearness of the Zoo. Our room has I sorry shape with small and rough towels, chipped tub, torn arm on the occasional chair and the table in the courtyard outside our sliding door was left with beer can and cigarettes (not ours) during our entire stay.

There were a number of issues that I need addressed. The first, I called and made my reservation cause I wanted to know the pet policy. The man on the phone told me pets were okay and that it was a $20 fee. When I arrived, I was told $50. I went back and forth with the young lady at the front desk and finally she went and spoke to a manager who charged me $20. If that had been the only issue, I would have given a higher rating. When I got the room, it had definitely been smoked in. Lighting in the room was also an issue. The bathroom for example had four lights but three of them were burnt out and not replaced. Then there was the issue with hearing every step the person above us made and they were up walking around all night long. So my fiance and I got very little sleep. Overall appearance of the property was very bland, floors dirty,and I will not be coming back to this location.
