"Great stay for the price!! Finally a television with regular channels that was clear and easy to watch what we looked for!!! Clean and comfortable."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Council Bluffs - Conv Ctr by IHG

8/10 Good

"It was a clean and nice hotel. However, it was quite loud like there wasn't much insulation. We could hear cars starting and revving outside easily. We could hear people walking in the room above us and people closing doors and talking in the hallway. Also disappointing that the TV was set up with apps and casting for streaming but we could not access it after multiple attempts"
