Top hotels in Westside
Magnolia Hotel Omaha
The Gem of Omaha in my opinion. 100 year old hotel, But everything is up to date so it’s every bit as comfortable as a major hotel chain . Nice room, super comfortable bed, quiet. I travel almost every week, and I got the best nights sleep here. I can’t remember sleeping this good anywhere else. ...
