This motel was a delight after my last disastrous stay in the area. First, there were other people staying there besides me - a major plus! The lobby was normal with carpeting and a sitting area. The rooms were very well kept ans comfortable. Having a refrig and microwave were a nice touch even if I didn't use them. The... More

Room was large and clean. Everything worked liked it was supposed to. Fitness room was good enough. Breakfast was O.K. Staff was very nice. Yeah, if you have a super sensitive nose, be aware that this place predates the Illinois statewide smoking ban. But other than replace all the furniture, drapes and wallpaper, there doesn't seem to be anything more... More

Well, we stayed in Chester because it was a good stopping point on our way to St. Louis plus we wanted to see the popeye statues in town the next morning. The hotel clerk (a real cutie by the way) was friendly and the room was reasonably priced. The hotel room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We got... More

I have stayed in this Best Western a number of times. I always found the staff friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast area is small, but has plenty of goodies for breakfast. They now even have a waffle maker. The hotel does not have an elevator, so I always need to request first floor and FAR away from smoking rooms... More

There are not many options in Chester. I think it's only this hotel and a B&B which I have not tried. The good news about the hotel is that the staff is great and their hard work shows. The hotel is clean, a nice complimenatary breakfast is provided, the outside pool and picnic areas are nice, and everyone was very... More

We used this place to stay for one night when we where on our way from Chicago to Memphis. Because we did some sightseeing in St. Louis and because we wanted to drive along the Great River Road, we choose to stay here. And it was a perfect place! Check in went fast and the hostess gave us tips where... More

I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Best Western in Chester, Illinois. The quality that stood out to me the most during this stay was customer service. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. We were traveling with young children which can be quite challenging. The staff at this hotel were warm and friendly and asked how they could... More

Smelled like a dirty ash tray. We slept with the windows wide open all night in 20 degree weather. It was better than getting cancer from inhaling all the stench from years past of nasty cigarette smell. The toilet clogged every time you used it not matter what type of business you were doing in there. Not to mention the... More

In short, the rooms were clean and comfortable and afforded a great nights sleep. The WiFi was free and moved at a decent pace, and the hotel was quiet, although there were very, very few people there when I was. The staff were about the friendliest that you could hope for, and consistently so (except the owner, who was present... More
