Top Union Pacific Railroad Museum Hotel Reviews

BridgePointe Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very good experience. Traveling cross country and this one looked like a good choice and it was. Reasonable price and good breakfast. My husband loved the biscuits and gravy."

Magnolia Hotel Omaha

8/10 Good

"This hotel is quirky, but in a charming way. The staff was great and it's a very central location in downtown allowing easy travel to many attractions in Omaha. There were a few "down sides" to the hotel, but nothing that would deter me from staying at this facility again. This hotel is charm, not modern, which is something I prefer when visiting new places."

Red Roof Inn & Suites Omaha - Council Bluffs

10/10 Excellent

"Check in staff was the friendliest we have ever had. Stayed one night and room was very nice and bigger than we expected. Breakfast was biscuits, gravy, toast, bagels, muffins and cereal. Not bad for continental breakfast. Location is good with lots of choices of restaurants. Recommend if in the area!"

Cozy, Clean & Quiet. Home in the Hills. Close to DT Omaha; Market; Zoo; Gardens

10/10 Excellent
