Hampton Inn Omaha Midtown-Aksarben Area
Hotel staff were polite. However, they struggled to keep everything stocked at breakfast and couldn’t keep towels stocked in the pool area. The WiFi definitely needs an upgrade!

Comfort Inn & Suites Omaha Central
Beds were comfortable. But the general upkeep of room was undesirable. Flaking paint, badly chipped bathtub floor, and toilet paper holder was missing.
