Love it!

This is a very nice hotel with affordable rates. The lobby is beautiful, rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is very friendly. Short walk to restaurants and the Civic Center. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay there again on possible return trips to Peoria.

We liked the easy parking and the bed was comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Check-in and check-out was seamless. There was 2 red stains on the carpet in our room (hoping it was nail polish). Wish they had a restaurant on-site.

The carpets throughout were filthy. The elevator was gross and the room worst. I couldn’t walk barefoot at all - so dirty. Give your maid a magic eraser to clean the walls here and there.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff was very accommodating and friendly. The only weird thing was the shower didnt have a door. It was a walk-in shower with a glass pane covering half of it, the other half was just open so water got on the floor. But the pressure and temperature was nice and the room overall wasn't bad. It's a vintage type of place, it was perfect for my trip though and I definitely plan on staying here again.

Liked: Staff & service
Stayed here for 2 nights and the difference in the 2 rooms was night and day. One had a more up to date feel and I really enjoyed. The other, dirty carpet, older fixtures ans feel, just a complete opposite of the other room I stayed in. So I have to rate down the middle as you don't know what you'll walk into.
