Courtyard by Marriott Omaha La Vista

10/10 Excellent

"My daughter and I stayed here for one night and I can’t say how pleased we were with the service and the room. Our room wasn’t quite ready when we arrived but they were able to relocate us to another room and my kid picked the 6th floor! We had dinner downstairs at the Bistro. The bartender was so nice to both of us!! The food was amazing!! Slept very well, comfy bed!! And the in the morning we had breakfast burritos at the Bistro and again did not disappoint!! So good!! I have nothing to complain about here, I highly recommended! :)"
