The Spotlight on Country Inn & Suites by Radisson Council Bluffs IA

Comfort and Convenience Right Next to the Action

Modern, cozy, and just steps from the Mid-America Center, the Country Inn & Suites by Radisson Council Bluffs IA offers a relaxed stay with great amenities for music fans. Located in Council Bluffs, this hotel is also a quick ride from downtown Omaha, making it a smart hub for concert nights and weekend getaways.
The hotel offers free Wi-Fi, a complimentary breakfast buffet, and in-room perks like microwaves, fridges, and coffee makers—perfect for recharging after a night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert lovers appreciate how close the hotel is to major venues—being right next to the Mid-America Center means you can walk to shows and avoid parking hassles. If you're heading further out, downtown Omaha is just 10 miles away. Guests also love the quiet rooms and the option to unwind in the indoor pool or hot tub post-show. With a 12:00 PM checkout, there's no rush to leave the next morning.

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a complimentary breakfast buffet every morning—think waffles, cereal, and fresh fruit, ideal for a slow start after a late night.

Each room has a microwave and fridge, so snacks and leftovers are always an option.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about relaxation than revelry, the nearby Horseshoe Casino and downtown Omaha offer plenty of nightlife. From live music bars to chill lounges, you’ll find options to keep the night going—or wind it down with a drink before heading back to your room.

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Robert, Kans, visiting Harrahs Casino Council Bluffs Sat, 8 July 2023

Liked: Convenient location.
Disliked: I asked for an extra blanket, replying to the “welcome” text that asked if I needed anything. It never came. Carpet in 320 was very badly stained in many places. Don’t know if it was dirty also, but made it appear that way.

A So so stay

Liked: Close to interstate
Disliked: The beds are not comfortable, and our bathroom was not very clean.. The toilet seat felt sticky like the cleaning solution was not wiped off. After I wiped it with a wet cloth, it didn't have the stickiness. Also, the mirror was cloudy and filmy until I took a towel and cleaned it so I could see clearly from it. The breakfast is your typical hotel breakfast, not overly impressed.

Cheryl Fri, 13 June 2025

It was okay, bed was...

Liked: Convenient location
Disliked: Our room was between the public restrooms and an exit hallway. The backside shared a wall with the pool. So our room was noisy. People walking by our window going to the casino or stepping outside to the parking lot to have a cigarette and visit. The toilet was not secured to the floor so it rocked back and forth.Breakfast on the weekend started later than advertised…there were a lot of people there for college graduation and we felt very rushed to get going on time.
