The Spotlight on Courtyard by Marriott Omaha East/Council Bluffs IA

Modern Comfort Just Steps from the Stage

Modern and upbeat, the Courtyard by Marriott Omaha East/Council Bluffs IA offers a convenient base for music fans heading to shows in the Omaha and Council Bluffs area. With sleek interiors, a welcoming shared lounge, and easy access to major venues like the Mid-America Center (just a 7-minute walk), this hotel blends style and function for your concert weekend.
Guests enjoy free WiFi, a 24-hour front desk, and a variety of amenities including an indoor pool, fitness center, and even free bike rentals for a quick ride around town.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything—and being just a short walk to the Mid-America Center means no need for late-night Ubers. Travelers love the express check-in and check-out, especially when rushing to or recovering from a big show. The vibe is friendly but not rowdy, making it a great spot to unwind post-gig. Plus, with late check-out at noon, there's no rush the morning after.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a weekend festival
  • Solo travelers catching that must-see artist
  • Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
  • Fans needing a quiet night after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality

Food and Drink Options

Fuel up or wind down without going far. The hotel features an on-site restaurant and bar, plus a snack bar for late-night cravings. While there's no 24/7 room service, the restaurant offers relaxed dining and the area includes several walkable eateries. Breakfast is available on-site—perfect after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things calm, guests are a short ride from downtown Omaha's buzzing bar scene. Whether you're into craft cocktails, breweries, or live music, you'll find it nearby. Back at the hotel, the bar is a quiet spot to sip and debrief the night.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms and the genuinely friendly staff. Reviews often highlight the ideal location for events at Mid-America Center and the overall quiet atmosphere, even on busy weekends. The indoor pool and fitness center are also frequently praised.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t offer full 24-hour room service, so if you’re craving a big post-concert meal at 2am, you’ll have to venture out. Some guests mention that while the hotel is walkable to venues, other attractions may require a short drive.

The Bottom Line

Clean, modern, and just minutes from major concert venues, Courtyard by Marriott Omaha East/Council Bluffs IA is a hassle-free choice for music lovers looking to stay close to the action without sacrificing comfort.

Wonderful - 4.5 out of 5

David Wed, 30 April 2025

With the exception of our...

Liked: A newer property that felt fresh and up-to-date. The bed was very comfortable, and the facilities were very clean.
Disliked: The staff, while not rude, didn’t seem at all motivated to work. The young man working behind the bar was on his phone and standing right next to us rather than working and allowing us our privacy. Rarely was there someone at the front desk… We would have to stand at the desk and hope that someone in the back room would see us standing there before they came out. The good news is that once they came out, they were very helpful and nice. The food at the bar is pre-prepped, warmed up, and not worth the money.

Overpriced, clean entryway polite staff,...

Liked: Definitely not worth the price, lots of maintenance needed in the room. Locks have been replaced and there’s holes in the doors. Needs patching and painting. Light fixtures were crooked. Covers on outlets are loose. Very noisy trucks driving by constantly.
