Hampton Inn & Suites Omaha-Downtown
Room was good. Beds are a little hard and the room/bathroom could be more updated for the price, especially being right across from the CWS and close to the CHI Health Center. But the people and staff are nice and the hotel worked out great for what we needed it for!!
