We had bugs in our room floor, one of the queen bed had a twin size comforter And I really really important thing, they have a pool or at least is what they said. But I asked and he told me that was closed and the 3 days we spend there no one open. So it was really bad. Because our children love to swim

It was the worst stay they didn't change the sheets nor did the clerk seem to care that the sheets had hair on it and we hadn't been on the bed yet and there was hair and we have no idea what kind of hair it was, but we do know this it was disgusting also we asked for a non- smoking room AND WE GOT A ROOM THAT PEOPLE HAD SMOKED IN and I think the bottoms floor should be non smoking and the top smoking THAT WAY WE DONT HAVE TO PUT OUR LUNGS WITH THAT SMOKE

Beware!!!Roach motel. Go to room only one light at entrance flips on.head boards lights don’t work to . Sink light stays on to give some light. Urine in toilet . Roaches crawling on sink. I did not even spend 30 min at all. Went to stay somewhere else and sleep.The 1bed had 3fitted sheets on it how is that even possible and the other had grey stains on it.Looks like an old slave plantation building. Had nerve to have a 4star silver award from travol-…On Wall. Noway they would give me any refund.I know why the rent was cheap looked like you would get set up and door kicked in with out of state plates. Door week not secure but locks and moves clearly been broken into . Beware to all. How inspectors never shut it down for violations

Our sink wasnt attached. You had to hold the bottom on the counter to turn it on. The bathroom door was difficult to close. We had a non-smoking room and whenever we left and came back, it smelled like someone had been smoking in there.

We stayed here the Sunday night prior to the 4/8/24 eclipse, and we got the last room available. Pros: - functioning heat and refrigerator - easy to get to - close to Walmart and restaurants Cons: - everything seemed old or worn out… towels looked dingy and were threadbare - creaky and bouncy beds - only two towels on a double-queen room - no separation between bathroom and sleeping area - breakfast was frozen pancakes you can reheat or sugary cereals (no eggs, breakfast meat, dairy, etc.) We don’t typically stay at 2-star hotels, so I don’t have much to compare to. It was fine for crashing for the night and I’d stay there if I had to, but I’d stay elsewhere if I could.

When I checked in my heater was not working so I reported it. When I got back the entire unit was replaced with brand new unit. The inn is dated but clean. Price very reasonable and it was a great place to stay during my visit with my daughter at U of I. Decent breakfast of bagels, cereals, bananas and coffee. I will return.
