Candlewood Suites Bellevue

We had never stayed at a Candlewood Suites Hotel before and we were very favorably impressed during our two-night stay. The room wasn't huge, but it was laid out in a very efficient way. It had a nice recliner, good TV, everything you would need in a kitchen, including a toaster, and a comfortable bed. The location is several miles south of downtown Omaha, but access to the freeway is easy and the drive is fast. There are several decent restaurants and a Walmart with groceries nearby. The neighborhood is quiet. This is a pet-friendly hotel, thus there was some barking, but it was brief. We had two complaints: there was some TV noise from an adjacent room when I was trying to go to sleep, and we had problems trying to operate the heating system the second night. The people at the front desk were all friendly and helpful, particularly the man who explained the heating system to us the last morning. (Be sure to ask for instructions if you stay here, because there are none in the room.)

Stayed one night. Easy check in, massive suites with huge bedrooms, a kitchen, nice size bathrooms. King bed was comfortable and so were the pillows. Slow elevator at times with there being only one. We had a guest outside for hours with a full DJ Setup with speakers and turntables blasting beats. Luckily around 9pm he closed up shop, so it wasn't too bad of a night:) Overall pleased with this stay. No pool, however there are plenty of stores and restaurants around.
