"Exceptional"

Overall Score5.0/ 5

This was our first stay at this location in Council Bluffs. Check in was a breeze and the employee working was so friendly and welcoming. The hotel was super clean. We went to our room and were impressed. Holiday Inn Express are always clean but this room was exceptional! Very clean, very comfortable and very quiet. Breakfast was your typical fare but very good and hot. The pool was fun for my little one. All employees we encountered were very friendly. Overall this was the best location we have been to and would definitely recommend and stay again!
