“great location to visit the state park”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel is close to the Starved Rock State Park. We were greeted at the front desk with a bag of snacks, candy and water. The room was very clean and the bed was really comfortable. We didn't use the pool so I can't make any comments on that. The complimentary breakfast was one of the best we've had at a hotel. We were there for a wedding and a lot of family and friends also stayed at the hotel and everyone was happy with their accomodations.

Room Tip: If you want to sleep late, ask for a room facing west. The early morning sunshine is really bright...

I am glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay with us! Oglesby is a great wedding group location, being just 10 minutes from Starved Rock. You will have to check out our pool the next time you are in the area! Thank you for taking the time to review us!

“One of the best hotel experiences I've had”

First time at a Best Western. Staff was courteous and helpful. Room was immaculate. We were a large group and the staff bent over backwards to provide all that we needed - including some unusual requests. Business center was available and worked well. Wireless internet in the room worked flawlessly. Nice people and a wonderful experience. Nice place to stay if you want to visit Starved Rock State Park.

“Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2011

We have enjoyed Best Westerns in the past, but unfortunately this one did not meet my expectations. We went to the pool shortly after arriving on a hot Saturday afternoon. There were no pool towels but we did not notice until we were already wet and swimming. My daughter went to the desk dripping wet and through air-conditioned hallways to ask for some. She was told that there were none available and that they were "out". One lady was willing to give her a couple of regular towels but another lady (a supervisor I imagine?) said that she couldn't do that. Therefore, there was nothing left to do but to return to our 2nd floor room down a long, air-conditioned hallway dripping wet and freezing cold. Luckily we had bath towels in there that had not been used yet! Also, between the time we arrived on Saturday around 4 pm and the time we left on Sunday morning at about 10 am, the garbage at the hotel entrance was overflowing (literally) with trash. Not very welcoming. We will not be back. Also, the breakfast was just AWFUL--they served those disgusting "scrambled eggs" that I believe are some kind of "fake" eggs and the eggs and coffee were not hot enough. Breakfast was super-crowded in a very tiny room.

I would first like to thank you for taking the time to review our hotel and I apologize for your experience during your stay. Due to the number of guests utilizing our pool area, we have added more pool towels, however the reaction of the employees at the front desk is not a common representation of how guests are responded to. I have reviewed with those two employees your experience and what the proper response would be in order to ensure that all guests needs are taken care of. I am sorry that you did not enjoy our breakfast buffet. We do try to serve products that our guests enjoy and I will take your suggestion on the scrambled eggs into consideration. Thank you again for your comments and if you have any further concerns, please feel free to contact me.

Regards,
Katie Sondgeroth

“Very clean and newly remodeled-would definitely return”

We definitely had a good experience in this hotel. The room was very clean and newly remodeled. The breakfast was good as well. We appreciated being able to do a late check out to accommodate our schedule. The cookies at the front desk were a nice treat. We would stay here again when going to Starved Rock.

We came here to do some family research and to go to Starved Rock. It's a very close drive to everything in the area. Hotel staff was super friendly. The hotel room was clean. The breakfast was perfect and had something for everyone.
