Site of new motel approved near casinos

The commission gave its blessing to the Midwestern Group L.L.P., which wants to build a 59-room, two-story motel at the southeast corner of Nebraska Avenue and South 35th Street.

"We're close to the interstate and the casinos, it's a growing area," said John Coppock, a member of the Midwestern Group. "We looked into the capacity of that area, and we thought there was a need."

Council Bluffs already has a high motel occupancy rate of 77 percent, he said, and loses potential business for lack of rooms for such big events as the nearby College World Series in Omaha.

The independently run motel would be known as Kanesville Inn and would feature a 13,003-square-foot main floor with a pool, while the second floor would be 12,719 square feet. The indoor pool would feature a heated whirlpool, Coppock said.

Looks like the size has been slightly upgraded...

Visitors coming to the city will have a new place to stay overnight in Council Bluffs, as an application has been filed for a new motel at 3411 Nebraska Ave. It will be called Kanesville Inn and will span 27,640 square feet.
