About 20 min from Starved Rock. We brought our lab and was welcomed. Breakfast was6-9. Waffles, oatmeal hard boiled eggs and other breads and cereal. Close to several restaurants, movie theatre, mall, etc. The worst part was our room faced the expressway so we could hear trucks. We didn't ask to be moved though bc we had already moved all our stuff in. People were nice. The room was clean and the price was right.

We wanted a weekend trip to visit Starved Rock. The hotel is right off the interstate (but not so close that the sound of traffic bothers you) and so it is only about ten minutes from the state park. We chose this hotel mainly because they allow dogs without any extra deposit or fee. Typical LaQuinta early check-in and late check-outs. There was a pool that was pretty small but clean and decent. The rooms were very clean, but nothing fancy. The location feels safe and is walking distance from a Target, mall and several chain fast food establishments and restaurants. The biggest negative was the free breakfast was very crowded and bare on a Saturday morning. There was not enough food or room for the crowd in my opinion. But the staff were nice and tried to do their best.

We stayed here for an overnight get away weekend. The price was reasonable for $80.99 with the AAA discount. Our room was exceedingly clean, had new mattressess and comfortable beds. The rooms are updated and a nice size. The breakfast was very nice with fresh waffles, boiled eggs, an assortment of muffins, cereals, juice and coffee.

The staff were extremely polite and nice, and the night checkout person with the curly hair was a sweetheart.

The pool and hot tub worked great with our children's ages of 6 and 7. The pool was a great temp - and though small it was perfect for our needs.

My only complaint would be that the pool and hot tub were WAY overchlorinated. It was so bad that we've had to use eye drops as all of our eyes are burning, and you have to keep the windows open in the pool room to breathe. I've resorted to using my expensive face cream to put all over my family's bodies as we lost about 5 layers of skin. I like the fact that the pool and hot tub were in pristine condition - but they need to go easier on the chlorine.

There are several places to eat in walking distance including I Hop, Red Lobster, etc. This location isn't wonderful for sight-seeing, etc........but it was a nice value and close to Starved Rock for us.

One additional perk - checkout is not until noon so we got t sleep later, have a nice breakfast, let the kids swim and relax before we had to leave.

A great place to stay.Check in was a dream ,monet very sweet and kind. We will pick this hotel,its very clean,service the best.never stayed at a better hotel than this,because of monet asst. G.M.
