What guests think

At Hilton Garden Inn Omaha East/Council Bluffs, guests frequently highlight friendly service, clean rooms, and convenient access to the casino and Mid-America Center, while recurring complaints cite air-conditioning failures, limited parking, and occasional maintenance or noise issues.

Many also mention comfortable, spacious rooms and a generally quiet stay. Facilities feedback is mixed: the indoor walkway and elevator key access are appreciated, but parking can be tight, there is no hot tub, and some elevator key glitches occurred. Breakfast typically costs extra and is viewed as pricey, and on-site food and drinks can feel limited or expensive. Expect a clean, convenient stay, but verify room HVAC and plan for parking.

The hotel and staff were fine it was the parking situation that was really bad. Too small and the casino people parked where the hotel guests should. I suggest a tag to hang on your mirror and tow or ticket everyone else. Also it wasn’t until I was several miles down the highway heading home that I discovered that someone started to cut off my catalytic converter. It slipped off going down the road from the bolts being cut. Poor security. Once again the hotel was fine just too bad being connected to the casino puts it in a bad location

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.

The staff was great. The rooms were fine. The lobby was closed due to construction so had to enter through the casino which was really inconvenient. Parking was not good at all. Breakfast was $14! We had a large party, 4 rooms so we opted out of that.

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.

Didn't like the lack of parking and the pump dispensers in the bathroom. Much prefer the individual soaps, shampoos, etc. Did like that the casino is an indoor walk thru the hotel and doors/elevators require a hotel key to get in/use.

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!

Hotel was pretty dirty. All of the carpets , rather in the halls, elevator or in the room was dirty and needed a major cleaning. We were there 4 days and the tile from the lobby to elevators REALLY needed to be mopped. Same spots on the floors all 4 days. Front desk staff acted uninterested in people coming and going. We wo t stay there again.

Staff barely talked and could barely hear him when checking in, went to put food in fridge and there was a very old cheeseburger in there, comforters were dirty spiders in the bathroom, view was a roof with a ladder and a bunch of garbage. Beds were hard as a rock pillows looked comfy until you laid your head on them and they went flat. Will not stay here again or recommend it. For the price I expected better.

Some clanging noise in the wall all night, very annoying. They wanted to charge me $14 for an English muffin in the morning when our reservation was supposed to include a continental breakfast. The area around the hotel was sketchy as well.

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.
