Top Lake Manawa State Park Hotel Reviews

Red Roof Inn & Suites Omaha - Council Bluffs

8/10 Good

"Nice quiet place to stay. Building maintenance is not 100% but it is okay and clean."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Council Bluffs, IA

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was excellent! The staff were friendly and the breakfast was one of the best I’ve had. Walked into the room and it was already a comfortable temperature. Only downside was the WiFi was not working on the tv so I couldn’t use the Netflix app on it. Not a deal breaker and I was happy with the channel selection so it all worked out."

Ameristar Casino Hotel Council Bluffs

8/10 Good

"This was a fun stop on our road trip from west to east. Hotel was fine, had a very good casual dinner at the pub in the hotel. Would be nice if they gave you a voucher for some gambling as part of the room cost. Overall a very good stay, hotel was quiet at night."

Courtyard by Marriott Omaha East/Council Bluffs, IA

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, smelled nice both upon entering the property and also the room which is a touch above most places. Has shuttles to the OMA airport. ~100$ a night is a bit pricey but if youre on a vacation its not a bad cost and I could definitely hang out in the room all day if I needed to."

Dock, Paddle, Relax at The Lake

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic time at the lake house! It was very peaceful and relaxing. Kat is an excellent host and responded very quickly to all my questions. This lake house is gourgous and immaculate and you cannot get closer to the lake! Such a well stocked kitchen, everything we needed, I really enjoyed those cute wine glasses! Evenings on the deck were perfect. Thank you for a very well-needed relaxing break!"
