The room we reserved was very large. The pool was nice. The breakfast was only prepackaged food. One day our bed was not made which was annoying since I even told the housekeeper that we were leaving and she could do our room.

When booking online sometimes you never know what you’re going to get until you get there. We went so we could stay close to Southern Illinois University. It was great location and it was clean. The staff was friendly, but the only thing I honestly was looking for was cleanliness.
