Nice hotel. Appears to be in the process of being upgraded in terms of room furniture.
2-night trip

2/10 Poor

We had to switch rooms when we got there because of roaches. The second room we moved to also had roaches. Shower curtains in both rooms had mold on them. I would not recommend staying here. The staff was very helpful.

The external doors into the facility were left open, one was propped open and use of the room key was needed to gain entry.

4/10 Fair

Around 1:30 am multiple people were trying to get into the room. Felt very unsafe. My husband was there on a fishing trip and probably won’t ever stay there again due to this occurring.
Frederick, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worst caae of catfish in a hotel

From pulling into the parking lot it looked run down and not like the pics on the site. Going against my gut, we went in thinking that maybe they hadnt redone the outside. But upon walking in you could smell an undeniable scent of wet decay. We grabbed our room keys and headed onward. The whole hotel stunk and it looked nothing like the photos! There were cobwebs on the wall and bugs. We didn't even sit our bags down. Ww told the front desk we would not be staying and they didn't care. They aaked if we wanted different rooms, at that point i waa tryung to find a different hotel. I waa also trying to file a grievance and get a refund. I walked out without a refund feeling like i needed a shower. Do Not believe the pics for this hotel!!

The staff were very helpful! The room was clean and comfortable!
Cindy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The office person was very nice and accommodating, the room was large with a comfortable bed, nicely decorated. More choices for breakfast. Conveniently located off the highway. The only thing I did not like was that the side entrance was not secure. It was left unlocked, not like most motel/motels that need a key card for entry. Also fairly priced.
Gina, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The property was very run down and dirty. Everything in the room was very dusty and random hair was noted on the walls and bed quilt. The towels were tiny and felt like sandpaper. We paid in advance and almost left but it made for a very uncomfortable night. Would NOT recommend.

Clean and comfortable stay. The property is well-maintained newly remodeled delicious hot self-service breakfast. Friendly and efficient check in experience. Would definitely stay here again.

8/10 Very good

Hard to find.

The sign was hard to find and the place did not have its own entrance. You had to enter through another business. Once you got in it was clean and comfortable but we went around at least 3 times - with GPS - before we saw the sign and figured how to get to it.
Alice, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property was clean, well lit and the staff was lovely. We enjoyed our stay! Best Hotel to stay in Benton IL
Asha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place was extremely cheap. It was extremely clean. It didn’t smell like marijuana like most hotel rooms too. They were slot machine, machines, free alcohol and it was very comfortable and I enjoyed my time there. My wife and I felt safe and it was great as we went and watched our kid play Division I college football. It’s awesome to have a place that doesn’t break the bank and is comfortable and has stuff for you to do.
