Hotels in Council Bluffs

Rooms & More Rooms

A whopping 2,685 hotel rooms await business travelers in Council Bluffs. Here, hospitality, comfort, and convenience meet great value.

Twenty-four properties are conveniently located off I-80 and I-29 within a short distance from downtown Omaha. For those arriving by air or train, it’s a ten-minute drive or less to a CB hotel, with several of them offering complimentary shuttle service.

To cite two great examples of Council Bluffs hotels that cater to business travelers, there are the Country Inn & Suites at the Mid-America Center and Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites @ Ameristar. The two represent Choice Hotels and IHG Hotels, respectively, and offer amenities that serve road warriors well, whether it be convenient location, essential services, in-house/nearby meeting space, or the right price point.

Council Bluffs hotels can be found in four general areas or pods: Missouri River & I-29 Corridor, Mid-America Center Entertainment District, Lake Manawa Power Center, and Madison Avenue & I-80.

These include Choice Privileges, Hilton Honors, IHG One Rewards, Marriott Bonvoy, My6, RediRewards, Stay Rewarded, Best Western Rewards, and Wyndham Rewards. Stay in CB, and points will be earned!

It is true. It is less expensive to stay in Council Bluffs than the rest of the metro. Compared to Omaha and its Sarpy County suburbs, the average daily hotel room rate (ADR) is lower in Council Bluffs, according to the hotel data service STR. Not to mention, CB’s hotel/motel tax is significantly less than Omaha's. Furthermore, hotel parking is free at Council Bluffs properties which is not necessary the case in downtown Omaha.

Staying on the right side of Omaha makes both sense and cents for the savvy business traveler.
