Average
The room was very humid and smelled damp. The AC worked fine but it just didn’t get rid of the damp smell. Breakfast was ok. The pool was freezing but clean. Front desk worker was helpful and kind. Bed was very comfortable and we slept well.

Clean welcoming with delicious breakfast
My family had a wonderful stay at this lovely hotel. The staff are extremely friendly and inviting. The breakfast was delicious with many options daily from fresh eggs to home style waffles. The pool was clean and a place where many guest relaxed after spending time in the nearby parks. Our room was spectacularly clean, the housekeeping definitely takes pride in their work and it shows. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you’re traveling to starved rock or Matthiessen state parks.

Noise from adjoining room was terrible. We hardly slept all night.
Didn’t use the pool or guest laundry, but those seemed good!

GREAT stay
We did not arrive until 10:30. The gentleman that checked us in was very nice! He gave us some info for the next day, gave us an extra blanket when requested. Breakfast was good and better than a lot of other places we’ve stayed at. Our room was very room, air worked great, and bathroom large. Would definitely stay again
