Happy to be Back Again
I booked this because I had stayed here a year ago and had a very good experience. This time was even better! It looked newer than a year ago! Very well maintained with comfortable and roomy layout, bed, bath, etc. Oh, forgot that the coffee iin the lobby wasn’t hot at 9:30 pm. I’m a late coffee drinker and that was a disappointment, though they offered to make a fresh pot.

Nice modern hotel. Sadly our room had issues. The bathroom door would not latch. The sink would not drain well which caused the previous guest's beard shavinga to come up. There wasn't enough TP.

Very Good Hotel Near Starved Rock
Clean, comfortable hotel with spacious rooms and good beds. Very good breakfast spread for a standard hotel, though they could have had more or fresher fruit. The window shades left the room very dark (which I consider a plus - some hotel windows let in way too much morning light). Good bathroom, rooms were quiet.

When i made the reservation i reserved a single multi room with 3 queen beds that's why it was ok to pay much. But when i checked in it was only for a single room with 2 queen beds and a pull out sofa. So disappointing especially paying so much for that kind of room only.

We had a great stay while on a long road trip. The hotel seemed recently updated and everything was clean and new. The young lady who checked us in was very friendly. The breakfast was fantastic! Lots of options with sausage links, omelets, cereal, pancakes, yogurt, juice, coffee and other options for take away. We all walked away stuffed! Our only complaint was the room was a little small when the pull out sofa was unfolded. Great hotel! Great staff! Great breakfast!

When I checked in and got to my room it smelled a bit and the window was open so I called down to tell them that the window was open and it smelled that I did not want to be charged if they thought I smoked bc iam not a smoker and then it was weird my husband saw that the garbage can in the room had open drinks in it and scratch off tickets like someone was in the room before me or they didn’t take the garbage out. That was my only complaint but the room smelled and then cleaning the room.

Very clean and nicely maintained property. Room was very spacious. The only problem I had was with the pillows, they stank a bit, like old pillows that have been used many times by sweaty unwashed heads. Maybe they need to change the pillows. Otherwise very very comfortable. Breakfast was AMAZING, so many options and having a hot breakfast available after so many days since the pandemic, was the best. Overall, very good stay and I'll book here again the next time we visit starved rock

Our overall stay was really great! Staff was amazing, our room was great, breakfast was great. But, one of the main reasons we stayed here was because of the pool (young children) and it was not clean - indoor pool was a greenish color with a lot of hair balls. We would stay here again, but I wouldn’t promise swimming again until verifying that it was clean.

I had used Hotels .com to reserve my stay. I received a confirmation and was supposedly all set. Upon arrival I was informed that their hotel was full. No room was available to me and my 2 daughters. I was turned away by an older man who was extremely rude to me and told me to go to the Super 8 Hotel. I was alone in a town I had never been in with my girls. No Room. No Refund available at that time. I’ll have to wait on hotels.com management to get in contact w me. Could be days. EXTREMELY UNHAPPY!
