Top Union Pacific Railroad Museum Hotel Reviews

BridgePointe Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is the PERFECT location, close to the Omaha Zoo, close to downtown Omaha, easy for ride share drivers to find and has free breakfast! Will be staying here again for future trips!"

Red Roof Inn & Suites Omaha - Council Bluffs

8/10 Good

"Very clean place, comfortable beds, very warm pool wish they had a hot tub but made up for it with a warm pool and had there pool towels stocked up most of the time I go to a hotel with a pool they never have there towels stocked. Id definitely stay here again, staff were super friendly and helpful ! Was noisey with interstate and hotel rooms which im sorry cause I know my daughter was extremely tired and was crying when I had to step out of my room to get something out if my car and she want her mom and not dad and I could hear her 3 doors down by the elevator. And very great breakfast !"

American Inn Council Bluffs

4/10 Poor

"We were traveling from California to Michigan and made an overnight stop in Council Bluffs. Since we were traveling with pets, we needed a pet-friendly hotel and chose the American Inn after reading many positive online reviews. The staff was very kind and friendly, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the condition of our room was disappointing. The moment we walked in, there was a strong odor that smelled like mold. The wall AC unit appeared to have a newer front cover, but the inside was visibly dirty with dust, grime, and what looked like mold buildup. We chose to leave it off and open the windows instead. The beds appeared clean, thankfully, but the bathroom had splatter marks on the walls, heavy dust around the exhaust vent, and visible mold growth on one of the interior doors. After two long days of driving with two dogs, we were too exhausted to search for another hotel, otherwise we likely would have left. To be fair, this was a last-minute trip during what appeared to be graduation weekend, so finding pet-friendly accommodations was difficult. I don’t enjoy leaving negative reviews, but I do think travelers should know what to realistically expect. The staff was pleasant, but the cleanliness and maintenance of the room need significant attention."

Countryside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We had two young girls, age 20, traveling cross country for work. We didn't see the "21+" check in requirement when booking. After La Quinta in Jonesboro, Arkansas the night before refused to check them in, risking their safety at night, Countryside Inn desk staff were beyond pleasant and understanding. We spoke to them and they made a common sense exception with no problem. A+++ May 16 check in...wish we had the lady's name. Her understanding means we will definitely stay here again."

Western Inn

4/10 Poor

"We had to be moved from our first room due to no AC and very dirty room. The second was some better, but not good AC. The staff tried to help, but not very successfully. Breakfast was very minimal. Our room had no towels and no shower curtain. They did bring towels upon request. The pool had not been maintained and was unusable. Very poor experience."
