“Avoid at all costs”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011 via mobile

I'm a police officer and I was due to be in town move in week of SIU-C. I booked this hotel online and that was a huge mistake. The room was outdated, it smelled, no breakfast, trash overflowing all over the place. It was very clear that there was section 8 housing right behind this place. I was informed of several arm-robberies that occurred there and all the drugs that went through it. 40 dollars is not worth your safety. I ended up switching halfway through my stay to the Best western down the road for 78$ a night. Im so glad I switched. Look at it this way, if a police officer doesnt think it's safe.. It probably isn't safe.

“Nasty dump disgusting sheets awful smell of chemicals seeping into our room! Stay far away!!”

This was a nasty place, we did not even stay the night. Upon arrival I inspected the room and it was filthy. Dirty carpets and bed spreads
There was blood stains on the sheets, not even real sheets they used a top sheet that had nasty stains all over and tucked it under the mattress! When I went to the front desk an told them I'd like clean sheets and pillowcases the lady behind the counter gave me serious attitude! I mean come on! So then when we came back to the room later on there was this awful chemical smell in the parking lot I'm front of the motel, it smelled so strong and bad I thought i was going to puke! So we refused to stay and found a much nicer place to stay! So unless you have no class what so ever and you don't mind disgusting sheets and toxic fumes seeping into your room then this is the place for you!

“Crap”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2011 via mobile

If I could give a negative score I would... I'm not sure where these ppl get off saying it was clean and functional. Clearly those ratings came from the workers or the owner. I just stayed there a lil while ago, I purchased a room online. ABSOLUTELY FILTHY. There was trash all over the ground and overflowing trash cans outside. Concrete and paint chipped all over; hobos were lighting a fire near the sidewalk, the sheets had several stains in them. The carpet had huge stains and felt moist in some spots, every single towel looked dingy and was stained, the soap felt like rubbing urself with chalk, the office is basically a drive thru window after hours.. Oh by the way did i mention we saw a roach. This place was gross, the picture is total deception. Iwas so afraid i would wake up and find my car missing the net morning. I love a good deal but even $40 is not good enough of a deal for a place this ghetto. Stay away, you will be miserable here.

“Great price, basic but clean and functional. I'm going back again.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2011

I stayed here a few weeks ago, since it was one of the only reasonable rooms I could find. I was a bit wary, but pleasantly surprised. The room was definitely no-frills, but it was clean, and quite functional. The A/C and TV worked well. They have coffee, cereal and juice in the tiny check-in area every morning. I am returning next week. Found a great rate by registering online on their website and getting a customer number first. About $41 a night. My room had a mini-fridge in it.

Dont Stay here, filthy motel, Overflowing garbage cans, half eaten food laying all over, dont know why they bothered with the concrete there is so much filth on it. No security. people fighting outside our room at 2 a.m. tried to call des no answer! I cant even do justice to the experience. I have never been scared in a hotel before. Felt bad for my wife and kids!!! Place should be closed!

Room Tip: Bring a tent, dont sleep here!
