Top Council Bluffs Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Council Bluffs I-29 by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed at the Holiday Inn in Council Bluffs for one night at the end of May 2026. We chose it from Hotel.com while traveling as we needed a room for the night, and we were extremely pleased when we arrived. The hotel was very nice, modern, and looked as if it had been recently built or renovated. The lobby and public areas were very clean and inviting, and our room was excellent! Bedding and pillows were so comfortable. There was a large indoor pool, which we did not use, but there were a few families having a ball in the water. There's also a large casino attached by a walkway for those interested in gaming. I'd highly recommend this hotel. We loved our stay."

Courtyard by Marriott Omaha East/Council Bluffs, IA

10/10 Excellent

"You really can not ask for more. Absolutely incredible staff. This is hospitality. 10/10."
