*We did an exciting scouting mission for this RAGBRAI-2019 town and we were lucky enough to get a complimentary room here at the Courtyard by Marriott Omaha East/Council Bluffs. The views expressed are of our own. Let’s gallivant!

Council Bluffs, IA: Pottawattamie County
Getting to know a town is best when you have a great place to stay, and our recent trip to Council Bluffs brought us to one of the Marriott’s family of hotels. Not even a year old and this Courtyard by Marriott still feels like a brand spankin’ new property with a staff that was keeping us welcomed the whole time.



This place has enough snacks to challenge the appetite of your average NFL football team, a full bar with local craft beer, bistro, and some of the best furniture you’ll enjoy in Council Bluffs. And we’re not even out of the lobby yet. That’s a premium welcome if you ask this traveler!




The rooms are just as we thought they would be. Enjoyable and with modern surroundings with fantastic beds, fast WiFi, great air conditioner, a TV coming in clear as bell, and the comfort you need to sleep anywhere. I recommend the bed. Or take that awkward dad nap on the chair, with your neck bobbing back and forth, and scolding the first person you see for taking the remote.



There’s always going to be plenty to see when you’re in the Council Bluffs area and no one would shame you at all if most of your time was spent here at this hotel. There’s plenty of casinos, restaurants, easy access to the whole metro area, and this Courtyard by Marriott with rock stars working here everyday. Keep the ice coffees pouring, hot sandwiches flying to the tables, cold beers coming, and spectacular rooms ready for more crews like ours!
