DoubleTree by Hilton Omaha Southwest
The pool was nice and spacious. Their breakfast was pricey, so I didn't get it. The room was clean and relaxing.

Aloft Omaha Aksarben Village
Clean room, bathroom, etc. Beds comfortable. No breakfast unless paying off menu, but coffee shop directly across street. Some Noise issues with kids running above us… likely unsupervised, but not into the wee hours.

Staff was great, rooms were great, breakfast great, pool great! Only down side was the very powerful scent they spray in entrance and elevator. Could dang near choke a donkey.
