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.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list artist
  • Couples turning a show into a weekend getaway
  • Fans who want a quiet place to crash after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for comfort without breaking the bank

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. While there's no on-site restaurant, you're within walking distance of several casual dining spots and just a short drive from Omaha's buzzing food scene. 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.

What People Say

Guests highlight the friendly staff, clean rooms, and excellent location for events at the Mid-America Center. Many mention the good value, especially with free breakfast and parking. The indoor pool and hot tub are a hit with those looking to unwind after a concert.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that the hotel could use a few updates in décor, and the walls can be a bit thin if neighbors are noisy. But overall, most agree it's a solid, reliable choice for a music-focused stay.

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.
