“Great staff at the Crossroads Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2007

Our vehicle had broken down near the town of Effingham, IL. Both the repair shop and the tow driver recommended this little known place near by. It might not be part of a chain, but the stay was excellent. The staff took care of us during our stay of 5 or so days. The room we were given had an outside entrance, was clean, and much better than what we expected to get, considering the price.
The sign says continental breakfast, so we expected cereal, donuts and coffee. But it was more than that, we had the choice of 2 cereals, oatmeal, pancakes, 2 waffles (the belgian waffle was EXCELLENT), toast (with a variety of jams), coffee, milk and OJ. Plus, unlike similar places that we've stayed (Roadway Inn and Econo Lodge) you didn't have to stay standing while you ate, they had a nice sitting area for breakfast. Cool and comfortable.
We have traveled through this area many a time, but next time, this is the only place I will stay. The staff was the best part of our experience. The place might not look like much, but dont let it's outside fool you. Give them a try.

“Absolutely Disgusting!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2006

This hotel was just awful! We were greeted by a broken front window with packaging tape holding it together! OK we thought, maybe it just hasn't gotten fixed yet, but it sorta looked like old tape. When we walked into the lobby, it smelled like a nasty old ashtray that needed to be emptied badly. The front desk was absolutely a pigsty and there was stuff piled everywhere under the counters, on top of them blocking the doors EVERYWHERE!!! Since we arrived very late at night, we had no choice but to stay there. We made our reservations for a poolside room but didn't get that. The carpet in the room was sooo filthy that when we got in the rusty tub it left black footprints in there. The tub's water came out orange from rust! How were we supposed to get cleaned? The wallpaper looked like it was almost worn through! the molding around the door ways was torn off and not replaced! Not to mention that the room smelled like it was wet and mildewy!!! Yuck! We will never stay at this hotel ever again, do not be fooled because it is a chain! They do not have standards here!!! We didn't even stick around to find out about the "delux" breakfast, we got right up and checked out around 7am! on the way to the lobby to leave, we noticed that the pool was only 1/2 full! This is dangerous if a small child were to jump in and not be able to grab the side of the pool cuz the water level is so low. Just terrible! We wish we had taken photos to call the health department.

“Never Again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2006
1
person found this review helpful

My visit was most unpleasant. It began with the dusty room, then went onto the bathroom floor that hadn't been mopped since the last guest was there (evidence was left on the floor) and ended with no water in the pool and the unkept grounds.

“Dirty, filthy”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2005

person found this review helpful

This hotel was by far the dirtiest place I have ever stayed. The carpet was so dirty that shoes were sticking to it. Hair all over the bathroom. Small towels had hair attached, too. If that were not enough, they served horrible breakfast. STAY AWAY AT ALL COST!

Really needs remodeling! Was obviously a Comfort Inn that could no longer compete at that price level. Everything in my room was very worn.
