10/10 Excellent

"Very clean rooms, staff was very helpful, and the cookies were awesome! I would stay here again."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Central Omaha by IHG

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed the softness of the beds and with having 3 adults and two kids aged 1 & 4 in a standard Queen room, I feel a pack n play could have fit nicely on the one side of the bed where the chair sat ; I did notice a brown satin on the comforter and in the bathroom some dirtiness on the floor. Overall, I would stay again; may need to eat breakfast later in the morning as 7am the breakfast area is quite full."
