It was in a centrally located place which was convenient. Breakfast was ok, but nothing fabulous. Rooms were comfortable, but could have used a few more towels. Will stay again when visiting. Front desk staff were very friendly

Hopeful but disappointed.

I question the reviews however Im guessing its possible others have stayed when the restaurant was open and it was fully staffed. The bed was good n shower was good. No coffee or coffee maker in the room. 👎 The cleanliness coykd have been much better BUT I'm guessing the pay isnt based on performance. Ultimately $100 was a bit much in my opinion.

Restaurant and bar are closed and have been for over a year, which is not as advertised. Doors and floors are filthy in the rooms. Most importantly the walls are SO thin and you can literally see light from adjoining rooms under your door, so you hear EVERY word people are saying. People five rooms down were so loud that we left and found a better hotel (Hilton in Mattoon).

The name says it is a hotel but this is a motel. After you check in you have to drive to a different building. The room itself was ok. Bed was not very comfortable Towels were thin & rough. The free breakfast was just coffee, juice, bagels, english muffins & yogurt.

Great hotel....lackluster breakfast

Overall, my stay was great. The young lady at check was super friendly and nice! My room was clean and everything was in working order. The only thing that was upsetting was the breakfast. The only thing that was offered was bagels and cereal. Outside of the breakfast, I enjoyed my stay.

Don't let the pictures fool you

Restaurant is closed. There's no coffee maker in the rooms. Breakfast is cereal and cheap pastries which is sad since they use the restaurant area and obviously have access to ways of providing some hot breakfast options. It is a quiet area. Staff was nice.

Not as described. Attached bar / restaurant was closed. Parking lot not plowed from a snow the previous day. Sidewalks not cleared either. Had to walk through 10 inches of snow to get to our room. Heat not on in room, it was 22 degrees outside so took a long time to warm it up. Continental breakfast didnt have many choices. Coffee was good though.
