Check in was very easy, the young man at the front desk was very friendly. The firepit was a great way to spend time with friends at the end of the day. The room was a little dingy and one of the beds had what appeared to be sand in it.

Not for me but could be fine

I checked in and Ronny at the front desk was helpful and kind. The room was very nostalgic looking but once I saw the potential black mold on the lamp shades and the window that wasn’t fully closed I immediately didn’t want to stay. The bed was also not comfortable and the walls are paper thin. I was there about 20 minutes and went to the desk and said I didn’t want to stay. They did refund me quickly and there was no issue. Sad I couldn’t stay - it’s super cute. Maybe my room was just the dud.

The property has been updated with an outdoor poor and fire pit. For a nights stay it was great. Refrigerator and microwave in the room. Small room but comfortable.

I did not like anything about this property. Staff that we had to call for service to begin. insisted that I need to pay again when I had the receipt in my hands. Beds are awful and super uncomfortable, Web sight said I had a mountain view, I look out the window and saw trees from the ground to the sky. Please show me where in Illinois is there a mountain? I have lived here all my life and do not know of mountains in the flat lands. Web sight said that I had a queen bed, it was a Full size bed. Very upsetting.

Motel is clean, manager & staff are very welcoming and can’t beat the location. Rooms are ok esp since we don’t spend much time in the room while sightseeing anyways, but could use an update. Would stay here again.
