This is the kind of motel Stephen King would use for one of his novels, that truly creepy ones. Even before we entered the room the front window was broken and was being held together with wide roll of tape and the grass was growing through the cracks in the sidewalk and parking lot, bad start. We entered room to find there was no fridge or microwave as advertised and the A/C did not work...in July in southern Illinois. The TV was a 19" old school with no remote, if you wanted a remote you had to leave a $20 deposit. They claim they've been stolen in past, who knows. Odd thing about TV, it had satellite and a DVR. The satellite had very few channels (not sure I've ever seen less channels before) and the DVR was worthless. The room was dingy, the carpet was stained, and there was someone else's sock left under the desk. They never came to make beds, let alone give you new towels or clean in any way. The towels were see through as the ply of a paper towel. There wasn't even a door hanger to tell them not to enter the room. They also advertise a pool which would actually be closer to an arboretum. They accept dogs, this is the only plus that I can find. But their charge for dogs is based on the weight of the dog instead of a flat fee like every other motel/hotel, 25% to be exact, which ends up being more for a medium size pooch than other places who's average is about $10/dog. Also, if like me, you pick up after your dogs when walking them you then need to find a garbage can to deposit said waste, you will be disappointed, there isn't one to be found on the premises anywhere, we looked on two separate occasions. We were one of maybe 3-4 people/couples in the motel that weekend and it has a lot of rooms, most seem unlivable from what we could tell. For those who read this whole review I hope you get that this is not a motel to ever stay in...EVER! I titled this review WORST HOTEL EVER for a reason which I've stated above. Stay away from this hole, lest you get sucked into the abyss that it is.
