The Western Inn provided a great value in our short stay. Rooms were clean and comfortable; service was always friendly and personable; and they added nice touches like the afternoon cookies and light meals in the evening. Also great that they allowed pets.

This is the first review I have ever written for Tripadvisor though I use it frequently for recommendations. As I write this I am very delicately sitting in a bed in the western inn. This hotel is so far away from the glowing reviews that I felt compelled to write my first review. First, the hotel backs up to I80... More

My family of 4 stayed here for a one night birthday gathering. The rooms were very nice, and had some nice updates to them (shower, carpets, HD flat screen TV etc). The pool where the party was very nice and accommodated the swimmers and non-swimmers. Plenty of ice for the coolers and the beverages. Easy to get in and out... More

We stayed here for 2 nights while skiing at the nearby ski area. We choose it because of the good reviews and awesome price ($49 online). I had a bad experience booking online before so called and they gave me the online price in person, which they didn't have to do, and I appreciated! Staff was nice and helpful, even... More

I decided to try something different than the Super 8/Motel 6 hotels I usually stay at when I visit Council Bluffs and I was not at all disappointed. Easy to get to, reasonable price, pleasant staff, decent rooms. I'll plan on staying here there next time I visit Council Bluffs.

Remember going to Aunt Agnes' house and staying in her guest room? Well, the Western Inn will remind you of those times. Great breakfast in the morning, fresh cookies baking in the oven in the afternoon and lest I forget, hotdogs are roasting for your snack before dinner. Or better yet, that could be dinner. The rooms are simple but... More

I really love this hotel! It's no franchise foreign owned hotel. Great service, nice rooms, and excellent breakfast. Will be back while traveling thru!! I think the rate is very fair and the location is perfect for ppl traveling on 29 or 80.

We thought it was a good value and decent room. No real problems. Would come again. Pretty close to restaurants and bars. We stayed there to be somewhat close to the zoo. A little old school - hadn't seen a actual key to a hotel room in a while.

I've stayed at Western Inn many times, so much so that the check-in clerk recognizes me. The look of the place has been slowly improving over the years as they remodel their way through the motel, adding new flat screen TVs, new wall paint, new lobby carpet and recently, an updated exterior. The continental breakfast is nothing to brag about,... More
