When we checked in, we asked if the hot tub was working. We were told its hot and ready to go. After changing our clothes we went to the pool and stepped into the hot tub. It was freezing cold and the jets were not working. I told the staff and he said, sorry we can't fix it. The maintenance man just left 15 minutes ago. This was the whole reason why we chose this hotel. So disappointing.

Very nice hotel and very clean. Our one gripe is that the handicap parking was at the end of the hotel but the only door to enter there was not handicap accessible. It had stairs.

We booked our room in February for a room with 2 queen beds. When we arrived we were given a king bed with a pull out couch. I talk to the manager and she said that she could do anything to change it. As I talked to her she was helping the housekeeper clean a room across the hall, in a room that had 2 queen beds. She tried to say that the 3rd party we booked with dictates the room that we get. I did call the booking agent that I booked with and they, of course, do not pick which room that you get. I asked the hotel for a discount and was refused. The pool and spa was out of order. There were multiple baseball team staying at this hotel and the kids had nothing to do but run up and down the halls and they were playing hide and seek everywhere.Balls were being in the hallways and they played in the elevators. It was old a run down. We had to play any exuberant amount of money due to the fact that the college World Series was playing in town along with the Battle of Omaha youth tournament.

Free breakfast was very good, well staffed for rpleaxing coffee and food. Also great morning environment. Not good: no hotel parking made available when other events were taking place next to hotel. Sofa bed was awful to sleep on. Staff had no bedding to give (no comforter), except 4 sheets! Apparently they ran out of bedding for sofa beds. No type of compromise made by staff for no parking and no bedding. Just replies with "sorry". Will not be staying there again.

Pool was closed by health department and front desk said we could swim at our own risk. There was hair on the shower wall and gum on the bedding. Management agrued that the pool was open even with the bright yellow "closed by health dept" sticker on the door. I used to lo e Holiday Inn Exress, but now I will never book another.

Amazing soaking bath tub!! The room was clean, there was a slight stale smell but we just opened the window and let it air out a little. The beds were comfortable. There was a lot of light that came through the window in the morning, not much of a light proof curtain in the room unfortuantely but overall a great place to stay especially for hockey games next door at the arena.

The room was not turned over when we checked in; both beds were slept in/unmade and there was unflushed feces in the toilet. This was at 4:30 PM. The desk staff told us the room could not be cleaned because the cleaning staff had left and wouldn't be back until the morning and there were no other rooms available.

The room was decently clean. I probably wouldn’t stay again unless they updated the rooms and changed out the beds.

The entire stay was horrible. We called early to ensure a guest not on the reservation could check in and the person who took down the notes never put it in the system. We showed up, and couldn’t check in. We eventually got checked in, and the next day when we went to the front desk they told us we didn’t have a room because we never checked in? So confusing and terrible service. The front desk manager was so rude too.

There seemed to be a large party going on outside but we didn’t realize until after our bell rang. Didn’t realize this hotel was in a “party” area. Probably won’t be staying at this location again.
