Solid option for those visitng Omaha

We stayed at the council bluffs location due to its wonderfully convenient proximity to the Omaha zoo. Less than 10 min drive. We really enjoyed the bed and shower in our room. The breakfast is very adequate and has plenty to choose from with an egg option, biscuit and gravy and sausage every morning on the hot bar. There are waffles, cereal and plenty of bagels, muffins and breads to choose from. We spent some time in the pool and found that it was very heavily chlorinated so there’s little chance of it being dirty. However it will burn your eyes and the smell will stick to you the rest of the day. We also had difficulty with our door handle unlocking hut kit actually letting us open. It took a few times entering to learn the sweet spot of pull vs push to operate. All said great visit with minor mishaps but would certainly stay here again.
