I have stayed here several times while visiting DeKalb. It is within walking distance of the NIU campus, the rooms are clean and decent-sized, and our kids love the pool. The beds are very comfortable, and the hotel staff are all very pleasant and helpful. We will continue staying here when visiting DeKalb/NIU!

We decided to stay here because it was close the NIU convention center. Check in went fine once we found their cleverly hidden lobby. But after that the experience plummeted. After parking next to a 500 gallon dumpster with 700 gallons of garbage in it we were presented with what I'm sure Best Western would call a "breezeway." I however... More

Prior to this, the last review I submitted was for a Best Western in Florida that was brand new, spotless and where everything worked. This Best Western in DeKalb is at the opposite end of that spectrum. Actually, I found this Best Western to be very typical of small-town motels where they often seem not to try very hard. We...

Old and worn out hotel. Hallways dirty and carpet worn although they appear to be remodeling. Busy train tracks right behind hotel. Room was small and freezing cold upon our check in. Took 2 hours for it to warm up with the heater on. Toilet wouldn't flush and maintenance couldn't get it working. We stayed only one night so we... More

The room we first checked into was horrible. The carpet was soaking wet, it had a dank smell, and the couch in the suite was covered with numerous stains. We asked to be moved to another room. The second room was not much better the carpet was filthy and a bit damp. The bed had only two, very small square... More

We stayed here because it was close to a convention site at NIU so we figured it would be ideal. I read reviews online about this hotel, and each and every single one said this place was dirty and not a decent place to stay, it has a 100% THUMBS DOWN rating- we should've listened! The initial impression upon checkin... More

We stayed in this motel a few days back, since it was the only one near NIU and downtown Dekalb that accepted pets. The desk clerk was very nice and even came to our room in person far various things, and was always very helpful at the desk. The grounds and outside appearance of the motel are very nice. The...

However, for the price and considering there isn't much to choose from not the worse place. Has outdoor pool. Rooms are very basic with a motel type feeling. To avoid this, I would recommend a room in the indoor part of hotel with King beds. I found that room to be a lot cleaner. They do have continental breakfast which... More
