Top Oakland Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Omaha East/Council Bluffs, IA

4/10 Poor

"The room was spacious. However, upon entering the bedroom, a wall light was found with broken lights. Immediately reported to front desk. Later, discovered drains in sinks were slow in draining; again, reported to front desk. Rugs in elevators were old and worn. During the morning of departure, could not find a cart to help transport heavy luggage from room to vehicle. Had to take multiple trips to vehicle with luggage. None of the supposedly four carts were observed at the entrance or on the main floor. Suggest putting electronic devices to locate missing carts."

Countryside Inn & Suites

6/10 Okay

"We stayed 4 nights and the breakfast was terrible. Only fruit was a few apples that was never touched and the cereal was stale! Ice machine didn't work or the vending machine to get a water or soda so we went to the gas station next door. Should put a elevator in going up flights of stairs with luggage was not easy."

Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Council Bluffs I-29 by IHG

2/10 Terrible

"When we checked in the hotel was clean and presentable. When we got to our hotel room- our room had urine stains on the bedding and there was pilling of old dead skin on the bedding as well. The pillows were also full of hair. It was disgusting."
