NE Omaha Doubletree Downtown

[cntrfieldsmom]

This was my first time staying in downtown Omaha. Close to the Old Market area of shopping. 16th and Dodge. Quite a distance to all three malls in Omaha, but an easy drive along Dodge.

Parking ramp attached to hotel (although outside entry) $6 per day.

Easy checkin, was already assigned a double nonsmoking.

Restaurant was adequate, didn't use the bar or room service. Pool (warm) and sauna, no hot tub.

Room had sweet dreams beds. Down mattress toppers and blanket, 4 down pillows on each bed. I had to ask for traditional pillows as I'm allergic to down and they were delivered promptly.

Furniture was dated but adequate with 2 chairs and small table. Internet access was $9.95 per day. Cable in closet.

Had 2 sinks (one outside the bathroom) which worked great for us.

Walls are very thick, but we had an unusual situation. Heard partying next door about 2 am, but were able to get back to sleep. Second night was a different story. The halls were filled with college age kids partying and all dressed up for a special occasion. Long story short they ended up moving the few of us left on the floor that weren't with the college group. We weren't thrilled about packing everything up at 10 pm and moving, but were told just to take what we needed to sleep and return to the original room the next morning. Security was on the floor and were honest enough to say it wasn't going to get any better as there were just too many of them. Everyone was very apologetic.

The second room was completely different. No sweet dreams beds, but new furniture, one sink, wierd.

It was a good value for $45, but due to the location being far from what we wanted to do, will probably stay in the NW area again next time.
