My idea of a good hotel is clean and cheap. I don't care that much about the decor or the amenities, but it really has to be clean. This hotel does meet my cleanliness requirement. But, unfortunately, not the cheapness. We stayed one night. The room was clean. I was concerned about the sheets, so I brought my own. Did... more

We travel to DeKalb once or twice a year, and this is the best hotel we've stayed in there. It's a pretty standard Holiday Inn Express: clean, decent-sized and attractive rooms, free breakfast, small pool. The location isn't that convenient to any "attractions" in either DeKalb or Sycamore, but if you have a car you can get anywhere you want... more

As normal the breakfast was the usual HIE affair but we didn't stay for that. Easy to find and there are a few amenities over the road.... more

Didn't get to sample the breakfast (too busy) I stayed on the top, 3rd, floor by the carpeted stairwell but it was very quiet even... more

This is a nice business traveller hotel, staff were pleasant, room was quiet and clean. Would definitely stay here again. more

Other than location, not much to write home about. Staff wasn't very friendly, a/c didn't work (had to get maintenance to fix it), wireless didn't work for about half a day, breakfast was pretty sorry. It looks new from the outside but don't be fooled... the place really needs some upkeep and TLC. And for those of you who (like... more
