It’s a dated hotel, no frills no thrills you know it’s one of those things. You just need a roof over your head for the night. There was no bugs or pests. Everything was clean and served its purpose free Wi-Fi. I know it may be hit or miss with other rooms but the room I had this time was really good.

Worth the price of admission

Check in process was a little slow, but the hotel was just what I needed for a weekend of hunting. The bed was comfortable, the shower was hot and had decent pressure. Overall, it was clean and worth the price.

No thanks!

This place should be taken off the roster of Hotels.com. Check in was terrible. They had no record of my reservation- which was pre-paid. They made me sign another credit card invoice which I later noticed was not my card at all. There was garbage in the garbage pail when we walked into the room. At least the sheets were clean, but the rest of the room was not. This was non- smoking but you could clearly smell smoke in the bathroom. The walls were paper thin so we had to listen to the constant drone of evangelical television coming from the room next door. Altogether an unpleasant stay.

I did not care for their insistence on taking a picture of my license. I have been told this is not allowed by state law. Both the clerk and some manager/owner type he called said at one point that it IS state law, but I don't think it is. The guy on the phone even said at one point this sentence, "Even if it isn't state law, it's our business policy." Well, he can't have such a policy if it is against the law! He didn't understand how people feel about this practice. If it is by law, ALL hotels and motels would do it, and I know for a fact they don't. I will never stay at this motel again and I will report them to the Illinois attorney general, to the BBB and plan to negatively review them on every review site possible.

Roach infested

The room was full of cockroaches the first one he used the excuse that the room had been locked up for a long time so he moved us to another building and in that building the drain was falling out the shelves on the walls were falling off the paper was peeling off the walls we still tried to suffer through it cuz he was not going to give us our money back woke up at 5:00 in the morning listening to them bang and carry on next door which is him and his family we had to hunt him down to get towels and he gave us three small towels for three people and did not take the garbage out of our room he pointed at the dumpster across the parking lot and says I was taking across the parking lot throw it away he didn't clean the room the entire time we was there we had a five nights I'm finally the third day I woke up to sing another cockroach on the wall so we packed up our stuff and we were going to leave we asked him if he could at least have a decency to refund us for the last two nights because seriously the rooms falling apart and there's bugs in it he refused he's very rude to women and the place is should be shut down it's disgusting. Because of that nasty place we had to spend the night in a laundromat washing our stuff and cleaning yourself to make sure none of his cockroaches tried coming home with us again avoid this place at all cost is disgusting
