Top Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Council Bluffs, IA

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Council Bluffs, IA

6/10 Okay
"The hotel was fine but it was difficult to get a decent parking spot because of the Casino across the street. People were constantly parking there to access the Casino. Plus, people kept on coming down to breakfast with no shoes on, which was thoroughly disgusting. I've never been to a hotel that allows that. I'll just pay a little extra at another hotel the next time so I don't have to deal with those issues."
