    We were looking for an historic hotel near Peoria. Found the Cornerstone Hotel and it looked interesting . We stayed there and it was more than interesting; it was magic, it was beautiful, comfortable, beautifully brought up to date from it's 1870's origins without losing any charm. The woman who runs it made us feel welcome, very friendly and helpful. This is a great place to stay if you want to experience what is right about hotels. It sits on Washington Square in the heart of the town. I highly recommend it; the cost is so reasonable. And it's only 20 minutes outside of Peoria.

    This is a standard, low end hotel. There is really nothing too special about it, nor was there…read moreanything particularly wrong with the room we stayed in. Washington is small, and you can tell that there isn't much competition between hotels. Pros: -The bathroom has a very large vanity, which made getting ready in the morning easy. -If you are staying for business/work, there is also a very large desk in the room that seemed to be of good quality. -Breakfast is offered -Hot tub and pool available (the pool IS heated!) Cons: -The breakfast, though offered, is less than your standard fare. The eggs are your "from a bag" offering, there was no bacon, and the biscuits for their biscuits and gravy were stone cold and stale, even when they were freshly restocked. They DO have a waffle maker, which is good! -The pillows were coined as "bed croutons" by those of us staying here. They were almost comically small. -The TV was small as well, which isn't much of an issue if you aren't planning on staying in on any nights. -Although they offer WIFI, it is also unsecured, and thus dangerous to use without protection and encryption on your end -Our room had one cloth shower curtain with no plastic liner. The curtain was ripped in multiple places. -The ironing board in our room was broken. -Our room had a strange smell to it that seemed to be coming from the heating/cooling system. Nothing major that warranted getting it checked out, but enough to be annoying -We were charged a fee for having a safe in our room. Even though we never used it. This is a standard, low end hotel. Don't expect high key amenities or offerings, and it will be fine.

    do not stay here!! they will try to intice you with a hot tub and pool...but everything else is…read moreshit!! upon flushing the toilet, water started pouring out onto the floor! spider crawling down a web in bathroom!! breakfast was absolutely pathetic!! no eggs...sausage links wrre sooo hsrd anf dried out.. like theyd been microwaved over and over! sausage gravy was spoiled!! hard and crusty in a crockpot that hasn't been cleaned in god knows, how long!! worst coffee ever! from a machine they stopped making in the 80s.. beds were ok.. if we didn't use a 3rd party booking i would have asked for a refund..but they won't deal with it.. just do yourself a favor and stay some place else!!

Due to allergies I…read morehave a tendency to take a look at the air conditioning filter just to make sure it is not jammed with questionable stuff. This one was surprisingly and shockingly clean so that's the reason for the four stars. Also for a weekend it was relatively quiet and peaceful. Check in with simple and easy. The bathroom was clean the towels were good. I would stay there again if I had to be in doctors in that area again.

    I see that there are literally no new reviews on this place and so I will update everyone…read more Looking back at my first review 3 years ago, I see that I paid a little over $100/night. Fast forward to 2022, and after taxes I paid $165/night. I knew the prices went up but dang, that is incredible! Upon further consideration, I'm kind of annoyed. For those of you unfamiliar with the area-YOU ARE NOT IN CHICAGO! Chicago is still almost 2 hours away. Even Starved Rock is 30 minutes away. Princeton, I'm sorry to say, is not a cultural epicenter full of attractions that draw people in and away from a city that does have those things. In the past, I've appreciated the amount of effort that goes into decorating the lobby for Christmas. Now I'm thinking that if half the effort was put into the rooms, versus the lobby, we may be getting a little closer to the cost vs quality ratio. I did notice that room had vinyl flooring and zero carpet. I liked that, as we all know how icky carpet can be. Yet the dated panther picture was way too reminiscent of items available at a local truck stop. The linens weren't extra snuggly and there is no variety in the pillow department. Unfortunately, that left me with a crick in the neck and wishing I had brought my own. Moving along, there is a pool in this inn. I saw signs that said, "The spa is closed", so I think that was referring to said pool. The free breakfast is still being served to you by employees, which makes for long lines. Waffles are no longer available on the weekend either. What? So you're telling me all the amenities of staying in the Americinn are not available and you want to charge people more? How very American of you! You may think I'm being snarky. You may think my expectations are too high. Duh! All other places that charge that kind of money have extras that make your stay lovely. Snuggly linens, firm/soft selections of pillows, warm cookies when you check-in, etc. I will no longer stay at the inn, I'd rather drive the 2.5 hours back home than drop that kind of cash. After all, I come to this area because it's where I grew up. I know the demographics of customers is probably a mixture of: extended family of residents in surrounding communities, truck drivers, and a business person here or there. All that to say, this area is full of hard-working people. They aren't about that big city life, tossing money around, and treating themselves. Why would your rooms cost so much? Okay, enough of the rant. I will put my money where my review is and no longer pay these ridiculous prices.

    Amazing. Modern. Spacious. Updated. This place is what I was looking for. I initially booked…read morelodging at a suite hotel a mile away but was so unhappy with the accommodations that I came here instead. Much quieter, friendly, and updated. These rooms are suites with the studio being the smallest. It's great to have a kitchen area (with a dishwasher and mini stove!) and some space to relax besides your hotel bed. The studio has a 3 person couch with ottoman and it just feels "homey". The furniture is not worn and decor is not dated or looking tired. I'm so happy I found this place. The staff is really nice. The amenities are ample: a pool, fitness center, basketball court, free hot breakfast, and lounge area where check in is. Self-parking is free unlike some of the other hotels a mile away. Overall, a nice place for a single person, couple, or a family. I wanted to take off one star because the floors could've been swept a little better but minor compared to the craziness I saw at the first hotel I checked in at-- that place has 3.5 stars on Yelp (how?!?!). This Marriott is leaps and bounds nicer than that so 4 stars wouldn't do this Residence Inn justice so all the stars go to them because relatively speaking, I think this one is the true chain hotel gem.

    I really enjoyed this hotel. It was clean, all the staff were friendly and helpful (and a big shout…read moreout to Whitney at the front desk), and the breakfast was actually tasty. The room was spacious and I appreciate the kitchenette. I will definitely look for Residence Inn's in the future.
