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.

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!

So the stay was for three days and three nights the cleaning ladies did not come once we asked for them several times at the front desk and they never came so we did not have a room clean for three days no clean towels no clean dishes nothing so we cleaned up as best we could, and then when we left, they tried to charge us for a cleaning fee. These people are scammers

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.

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.

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.
