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 The room was outdated, it smelled, no breakfast, trash overflowing all over the place.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.
