lack of privately
It was difficult to understand the language barrier. My biggest issue was NO PRIVACY. Only Vertical blinds with gaps, no curtains so I had to dress in the bathroom. The air conditioner was too high on the wall so he gave me a chair to stand on (made me nervous as a senior but at least I didn't fall). The bed was comfortable, room was clean and it was very affordable.

Bates Motel - It was that bad.
If it wasn’t so late and weren’t so tired, we would have not stayed here. Owners have not spent a cent to update this creepy hotel. It feels like the 80’s. The pillows were horribly old and flat too. My husband slept fully clothed because he was worried about bugs and kept his suitcase in the car so his change of clothes wouldn’t smell like the old motel.

Quaint time travel
One of my first jobs in the 1970s was managing a little roadside motel. Checking in here was like stepping backward in time. That should not be seen as uncomplimentary. We found our stay to be quite adequate, For all that it is very dated. We tend to check in and drop our stuff go do things come back and are in the room basically just long enough to sleep. For an aged property It was clean and the clerk is incredibly friendly

Clean, comfortable, and spacious
The location of the motel is convenient--only 3 minutes from Carthage. It's about what you'd expect for a roadside motel. The room was comfortable and spacious, with a refrigerator and microwave. Housekeeping service was prompt and reliable. The room, while old, was great for a stopover while driving through Illinois. The on-site manager was pleasant, engaging, and friendly. For a comfortable stay driving through Illinois, I'd absolutely be willing to stay here again

I had to get a hotel last minute for a minor change in our travel plans. I needed it to be cheap due to the unexpected cost. So I booked the Prairie Winds Motel and for the price, I could not have been happier. It was in a safe location, surrounded by corn. It was easy access off the highway. It was clean and did not have a smell. The price was very cheap and the view of the sunset, over the corn, was gorgeous. For the price and service, I highly recommend this hotel. I am a light sleeper and it was silent. I never heard anything all night.

It was not bad for the price, however I was made to pay when I arrived even tho I already paid at booking. The owner yelled at me and said we were dirty people because I nicked my ankle shaving and got a few dots of blood on the towel and because they took our wash cloths and wouldn’t give us any more my daughter used a towel to wash her make up off! There was a razor blade and trash behind the beds

Home on the prairie
Very kind older gentleman, English was no his native language, but he made up for it in graciousness. On a road that includes an auto wake up call ( sun up traffic) at no extra charge. Very good bargain- would stay there again.

Ripe With Potential
This is a small roadside motel that has been there for decades. It needs updating and some TLC, but the proprietor is very friendly and eager to help. He is so sweet! The room was mostly very clean (one litmus test being that walking barefoot on the floor resulted in NO dirty feet). There were small things like impossible to keep up with white grout, and dust in the a/c, which we didn’t need to use. The beds aren’t anything to rave about, but they weren’t uncomfortable either. My family and I are in the area 2-3 times a year to visit family, and we are likely to book this motel again based on affordability and it not being gross or terribly uncomfortable. It IS noisy there, right on Hwy. 136, but it’s a pretty convenient location as well. With even just a few small updates at a time this could become an exceptional little vintage boutique motel.
