Hilton Garden Inn Omaha East/Council Bluffs

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly and helpful. The handicap room was ok. The bed was a little high for a chair, we needed to use our stool. The shower is walk in but the door and bathroom are not wheel chair friendly for this. The shower head was very tall and your in a chair it’s not to convenient. The room its self was clean and roomy. The hotel also was clean and easy to get around to the casino, if that’s where you were headed. There isn’t continental breakfast which was a bummer. But all in all the rest of the area was good."
