Council Bluffs Vacation Packages

Pros - comfortable bed and clean small room Cons - rarely anyone at front desk, took awhile to check in

What I liked: Hotel Deco is located close to the Old Market, within walking distance. It's also not too far from the airport. The room was spacious, which was nice. What I didn't like: The hotel needs an upgrade. Seats in the lobby would be nice. The bathroom needs to be gutted. There was nowhere to put toiletries in the shower, and the grout and floor were dirty. There was also no electrical outlet in the bathroom. The Monarch Restaurant seemed dreary, and the one morning we tried to have breakfast there, we were left waiting for a long time. We wound up leaving and finding a better alternative. Overall, this property needs major upgrades. But it is situated well.

Great place to stay. Close to everything.Ballpark,restaurants, museums. Only negative was getting a hold of shuttle service. Phone would just ring and no answer.

We stayed 2 nights - PROS: Parking was fine, check-in/out staff were friendly, each process simple, bits of the property we frequented seemed safe inside/out, rm was clean, well stocked with towels, plenty of decent quality pillows, most rms around us were filled but we barely heard anything from other guests that weren't passing by in the hallway, bldg has an elevator, bkfst buffet was varied, and our dog was welcome. CONS: Google map shows property on opposite side of road, and property sign at road is broken/missing causing some initial confusion. We were told at check-in the pool was open until 10:30, online says 10, sign posted at pool said 10, I asked to clarify and was again told 10:30, but when we went to the pool at 9:45 that evening we were told they were locking up at 10. There were a cpl of miscommunications with housekeeping/buffet staff - we ran out of rm coffee quick, so we asked for more to restock, one lady said "No", but seemed unsure of herself, so asked another down the hall who said "Yes". Then, on the way back to our room with my bkfst we were told "No food in the room/can't take leftovers from bkfst back with us/ask manager", which clearly isn't true since desk staff handed over our DD dinner delivery order to us the night before, and we saw a mother taking two armfuls of plates from the buffet back to her rm for her kids. Beds are comfortable, but firm, so not great if you're a side sleeper like me.

Great location around Omaha
