We’re affordable, clean, tasty breakfast. Just wish they had potatoes.🤗 front desk staff very kind.
Rachele, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

When every other hotel gouged their rates for the graduation in town, they stayed decent on their rate. Always a reliable location to stay when we visit family. Close to everything. Even with the trains behind the hotel it’s quiet.
Mary, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very poor choice

Very poorly maintained. Felt dirty and shabby. My wife refused to stay there it was so distasteful. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. And in addition it was very close to the train tracks with freight trains running in rapid succession.
Jim, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Check in was easy. Staff was friendly. Breakfast did not have many options. Juice machine had 3 options but it only had OJ. Very convenient location by the university and many restaurants.
SHANNON, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Bad carpet, good bed.

Room carpet was stained, looked dirty and old. Bed was clean & comfortable. Liked the white comforter - was easy top see dirt or stains on it(saw none). No bedbugs or dirt seen under mattress edges. Sink countertop looked clean, as did shower stall(didn't use it).

I booked this hotel because it has a pool and that was really important to our family. I arrived to find the pool was permanently closed. The room was clean but it smelled bad.

4/10 Fair

Room was ok, but not cleaned well. It had a lingering smell that you might expect in a grandparents home. The shower had rust and was not used during our stay. Overall decent if you need it for a night, but wouldn’t recommend for a longer stay given the price.
Vincent, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice stay ,close to great bar/ restsurant.nice breakfast.
Peter, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Bring your housekeeping skills.

Wasn’t advised that I’d have to ask them to dump my trash or clean my room on the weekend. Had to request clean towels.No safe in room. Had to sign so many disclaimers that I asked about thefts. Room was comfortable and clean at check in. Staff were pleasant.
Linda, 2-night trip

NIcholas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked the proximity to NIU. The room was nice and clean. The water in the bathroom got hot quickly. The fan and the light in the bathroom was rather noisy however and the light would not come on without the fan which was a slight drawback. But overall, I was pleased with the room and cost of the room.
Sheryl, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

They had a malfunction with smoke detectors and it went off at 6 am, and again a couple hours later (for testing purposes).
Sherri, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

WORST HOTEL EVER

This was absolutely the worst experience I have ever had with a hotel. When we immediately walked in the room, we noticed that there was an issue with moisture, so we go to turn on the air and lo and behold there is mold on the curtains. There were also silverfish running across the bathroom floor. You could also tell no one had swept up the bathroom probably a month there were pieces of dirt and trash in every corner of the bathroom. It became a matter of there being health risk involved in staying in this room and I refused a refund even though there were those health concerns.
This is the silverfish that was smashed up.
This is the mold on the curtains.
These are the shower curtains in the bathroom that were very dirty
This is particles of trash in the corner of the bathroom floor.
