TERRIBLE ROOMS , FOUND LIVE ROACH in room ,ac didn't work, halls were sweltering , ice machine not working, pop machine not working, beds had pcs of metal sticking out,this place is using thirty year old stuff , stay away,

This is indeed a lovely location pretty much out in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately, all of the times that I've had to stay here, it was for work and other than the view from my room, the natural beauty was not the focus of my time. The conference room our group had was nice, comfortable, and appears to be... More

My fiance took us away for a weekend trip to the Rend Lake Resort. We saw a pheasant, a turkey, deer, snake, raccoon, and skunk all in the same day. The place was crawling with wildlife and natural beauty. It was buggy, but its in a state park that is lush and thick so its expected. It was so beautiful... More

Granted, hotel accommodations in southern Illinois are limited; but when in a small town, one expects lower prices. We have had much better experiences at Comfort Suites for less money. We reserved a room for 3 people. After attending a wedding reception in the conference center/check-in building, we had to drive to another area to our building. We found that... More

Both were nice. If you are expecting 4 or 5 star this is not the place for you. It is your standard hotel room. The cabin was... More

This year's family get together was at this resort, and although the management is not very accommodating with regards to trying to keep groups together, we managed to have a very lovely time. The cabins are rustic, but clean and had none of the objectionable features mentioned in other reviews. We were there to enjoy each other, not the insides... More

What a beautiful place with very bad service. We reserved a block of rooms for a media fishing event. Upon arrival, one of our writers was told she'd have to stay in a different Boatel unit, because someone in our unit had decided (last minute) to stay another night! Then, she was kept awake all night by a party next... More

I stayed at the Rend Lake Resort from August 12 through August 14 for an outdoor media trip. We were covering many places in Southern IL and were hoping to use the Resort as our base of operations. First the block of rooms that we had reserved several months before hand did not happen. We were strung out between two... More
