I stayed based on the ranking of #1. I have to say I was very disappointed. The staff was very nice and pleasant. The room had a smell that I could air out with the window open and air on for over 5 hours. The decor was old, the beds were old and the pillows were lumpy and old. One... More

We decided to upgrade from our 'value' hotels' such as Motel 6 or Super 8 to a Holiday Inn Express. For about $25.00 more it proved to be a good decision. Better beds, thicker walls, nicer bathrooms, better breakfast options etc. Cleaner and doesn't smell of smoke. Felt safer too. So for a 'value' lodging option, this is a recommended... More

Good: Friendly and great service at breakfast bar. Clean with lots of nice touches like coffee and shampoo in room. Hot shower. There are lots of channels on television, and it was a nice size. Bad:Tiny pool. Uncomfortable beds.My daughter ended up sleeping on the floor because it was more comfortable. Fuzzy television.

Situated right off I74 at the South edge of town, it is easy to get to. The rooms are a good size - but as someone else pointed out, the sink is right by the room door - if your partner is deshabille at the sink when you want to use the door, she has to step away. Otherwise a... More

If you enjoy shopping for the unusual amid larger antique malls, satisfy your urge in central Illinois. Numerous shops are available for the critical eye in Galesburg, IL and the surrounding area. Many smaller items can be found nestled between larger pieces, and the persnickety connoisseur will not be disappointed. Our lodging was satisfying as well. We checked in early... More

The rooms are clean the only minor (and it is really minor) is that the sinks are right next to the door and in the morning the sounds you hear walking down the hall is pretty frightening.

I stayed here overnight while traveling through for a business trip in August, 2012. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. The hotel staff patiently helped other travelers with dinner recommendations. Breakfast was OK, but not memorable.
