It's an average everything at this hotel, in a state of decline, a travelers hotel right off the freeway. Free parking, pool, gym, decent restaurant, good value. Nothing more.

Staff was very friendly and always spoke to you. There was crumbs on the floor but other than that the room was good. Very nice property. I would definitely stay again.

Hampton Inn Omaha Midtown-Aksarben Area
Hotel staff were polite. However, they struggled to keep everything stocked at breakfast and couldn’t keep towels stocked in the pool area. The WiFi definitely needs an upgrade!
