“Pro's and Con's to this Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

This Holiday Inn is the only 3 star rated hotel on Priceline so I was able to negotiate a $30 discount on Priceline and new that I would get this hotel. Problem is, they put me on the very top floor, the very end room, which was also a SMOKING ROOM, I call this the Priceline Punishment room. When I opened the door, I swear, you could see the smoke in the air. I've stayed in smoking rooms before...last Saturday as a matter of fact...and have never encountered anything like this. There were two bed in the room and the bed I chose to sleep in reeked of smoke, so much so that I kept waking up. So, in the middle of the night I switched beds and found that the other bed had fresh linens. That means they didn't change both beds after the last smoker. Anyway, I complained in the morning and they offered to fumigate the room...no offer to change rooms. I asked them to change the bedding and they did not. But the room did smell better when I got back. Other than that, the room was decent, the furniture and tv older, the desk chair was broken. The personnel were very friendly, but young and, as shown above, not the most accommodating...at least not to Priceline customers. The beds are very firm, which could be a plus or minus, depending on your preference. The loud fan in the bathroom does not turn off. The attached Houlihan's restaurant was fabulous. The food is seriously good and I didn't have any desire to eat elsewhere. There is a Hampton Inn right next door which has softer beds and guarantees your comfort. I think I'll pay a few more dollars and stay there next time.

Room Tip: Avoid room 529 at all costs. According to the other reviews, there are nice rooms available.

Priceline has a direct interface with our system. The reservation came through our system as a smoking room. We did not choose this room type for the guest. The housekeeper did in fact change out all the bedding at the request of the guest, and we would have been happy to move her to a non-smoking room had the Front Desk known she was not satisfied.

“Good Place To Stay - Close To SIU”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

Room was very clean when we stayed in September 2011. Check-in was fast with no problems. Check-out was also seamless. Very nice & I will stay here again. A few minutes away from the campus of Southern Illinois University. Only negatives: When you use a debit card, even running it as a "Credit", the hotel freezes an extra amount in your bank account. With modern debit/credit card approvals there is no need to do this. Either your card is approved or it isn't. Time for an update of in room TV's. The huge old Sony's need to be replaced by flat screens. But again, very positive and I will stay here again.

Room Tip: Book this hotel many months in advance. Big events at Southern Illinois University often means this...

“Didn't want to leave.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

I stayed here 2 nights on business. I found the staff to be helpful and professional.
The room was beautiful, and seemed very new. (Not sure when this place opened). The design was excellent, and bed was extremely comfortable. I really wanted to stay longer.
If you are looking for a place to stay in Carbondale, I recommend this.

Room Tip: I stayed in a room on the back side of the hotel 5th floor. It was very quiet and peaceful.

“Happy with my stay.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011

Very nice, clean entrance and lobby. Friendly staff. The room was perfect, and I am picky.

Very clean pool. Small, but good enough to relax in. Restaurants conveniently located in front of the hotel. Did not go to the attached restaurant.

A bit pricey compared to the other hotels in Carbondale, but worth it. would recommend it to everyone.

The service and staff are phenomenal here. Everything is like new. The rooms are spotlessly clean and well=maintained. This hotel is an exceptional value too. The free wi-fi was great.
