Hyatt Place Omaha Downtown Old Market
There were no microwaves in the rooms, the pool was cold when it was supposed to be heated, the beds were hard as rocks, and there were homeless people living in the stairwells. The breakfast was good though.

Hampton Inn & Suites Omaha-Downtown
Enjoyed this hotel, would stay again for sure! Kids loved the pool and breakfast was good. Staff was very friendly. The only problem was being able to find parking. Had to park at the hotel parking lot next door which was very aggravating especially since we have to pay $15 for parking.
