    The ferry's that are within IL are free. This is a nice lil surprise! We've taken this ferry a few times on a motorcycle. The employees are efficient and friendly. The ride is quick and usually smooth and uneventful. The drive leading to this ferry and back home is also a beautiful scenic drive!

    FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Oh....well the tax payers and those who buy fuel in Illinois pay for this service to save you a 30 mile drive to the nearest bridge. I love the ferry to get to Grafton and watch the bald eagles!

    It's the free ferry from Il. that is run by the state, how great is that. Not a long voyage but pleasant enough and well run.

    I have taken this ferry many, many times on the way from STL to Pere Marquette. It is a free ferry linking Calhoun County, IL to Grafton and Pere Marquette. This ferry can get very busy on weekend. Safe, easy trip. You may get out and take pictures during the boat ride. Cars, Trucks, and Motorcycles are all moved by this ferry. It operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This ferry is operated by the Illinois Department of Transportation.

    These folks are wonderfull !!!!!!…read more I am the kind of person who is glad to give a friend a ride to a doctor's appointment or the airport, but I have a hard time asking for that kind of favor myself. So when I needed to find a ride to and from a procedure at the hospital I searched online for Medical Transport and I found these folks. I am glad I did. They are friendly, prompt, professional, and reliable. The whole experience was a pleasure. I'm going to call them next time I need a ride to the airport; they do all kinds of transportation. They are more cost effective than another company I called, which was only doing wheelchair transport now, which I didn't need. If you know any good, reliable, drivers, send them to Transport-U. They are always looking to expand their services.

I was a bit hesitant to hire a stranger while under anesthesia, but Ronda made me very comfortable and made sure that I was stable before she left my home. I will hire this company for outpatient needs vs bothering family/friends.

    This wasn't my first ride on a Mid American. They've always been clean, good drivers, but tonight…read morewas exceptional. Took the coach to Frozen On Ice at Scott Trade in STL. The snow was coming down before we began our trip. Cindy our driver, and Glenda our concierge, were not only a fantastic team but made even the nervous passengers feel at ease. Glenda came around with candy for everyone and had a little trivia to pass the time for the up'ing travelers. Traffic was so backed up, because of the weather, but Cindy maneuvered around the traffic and got us to the show on time. It was wonderful to be dropped RIGHT at the door. The snow continued while we were at the show. When we came out, she was again Right at the door. How convenient! Especially with all the little "Elsa's" not completely dressed for the weather. We had to wait to start the snowy trek home. There were 3 passengers missing for quite a while, and Glenda went on a hunt for them. She and Cindy were patient and polite to the absent passengers, and Cindy attended to us waiting patiently on the coach. Cindy was an EXCELLENT driver and made everyone feel very safe. The driving conditions with crazy semi's zooming by was nerve wracking, but Cindy handled it with ease. Glenda brought the Frozen DVD to watch on the way home. It was a great distraction for anxious passengers and the tired young uns. When we arrived back, Glenda helped people clean off the 3+ inches of snow mounded on their vehicles. Cindy waited in the coach with passengers while their cars warned up. WOW....these ladies were impressive!!! If I could give 10 stars I would!!!

It's beautifully set amongst the trees with the river just on the other side of the road. The lodge boasts hotel rooms and cabins.

The dining room takes reservations, and if you plan to go on a holiday (especially Mother's Day) book way ahead. They also take walk-ins. The food is so good. My favorite is the fried chicken.

Lunch was very good. I chose the "Hickory Trail South". This is the grownups grilled cheese on Sourdough bread with Gruyere cheese and sliced tomatoes. It's served with sweet potato fries ($9.95). It was very good. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. She checked on us several times throughout our meal to make sure everything was to our liking and keeping our coffee cups filled. The Pere Marquette Lodge and Conference Center have events scheduled every month. You can check them out on their website at https://pmlodge.net/upcoming-events/ I'm going with a hearty 4 stars for great ambiance, good food, and good service.

They were timely in both pick-ups but when I got on the bus the driver told me $400. I told her to call Jason bc he had given me the $350 quote. She called him and he lied and said he told me $400. It was only $50, but it's more the principle to me. Bad business. There also was no AC and it was an 80 degree day.

When we got to the day of, the bus arrived, and I had my wallet ready to pay, but the driver said nothing but asked where we were going. We gave him our ceremony location and we made it there in a timely manner. On the way back to the reception however we took an awkwardly long way to the venue (looking at the map there were much more efficient ways to get there) and we arrived late. As we were all getting off the bus at the venue, the driver then asks who is paying. I told him that my wallet was in my bag packed for our honeymoon in my parents car and that I could call him tomorrow to give him the info, to which he refused and demanded he get paid. He also mentioned that he wasnt supposed to even let us on the bus in the first place without payment, but never said anything when he arrived. I had already made my guests wait while we drove the long way to the reception. At this point, I had to locate my mother to locate the keys to the car, run to the car, grab my wallet, and then proceed with payment. The driver, who didn't introduce himself to begin with, took the card info and then left. Despite all of this, we had a great wedding, but I don't recommend this company.
