If this isn't you, then this hotel is not for you. True story- my 6 yr old told me that "this was not a hotel and that if it was, it was the worst" -no working pool, dysfunctional bath tub and dysfunctional wifi ‍ I was at this hotel 3d,2n. It is the following Tuesday and I think I am now ready for this review. Deep breaths. There will be tips, pros, cons, and pictures. All of it will be true- I take reviews very seriously. I use/refer to them when I do anything and go anywhere. And being that I enjoy to travel with my family and, on occasion, with just me and my husband- I think about what others may want to know before they go, so, here we go. *Tips* -Research the area!‍‍ Arcola, IL. Key words: amish, rural, farms, country, the opposite of diverse‍‍‍‍‍‍. We were in the area for an EIU Graduation but being raised in Chicagoland, Arcola was uncomfortable at times. Not unsafe but- yeah. -Think twice before scheduling with a 3rd party. We used travelocity and there was miscommunication between me, the hotel and travelocity. *Pros* -Heather was amazing! We only got to interact with her on Sunday but she was over-accommodating, a hospitality genius. I wish she had been there all weekend. Might have impacted this review. Promote Heather to managment! -within walking minutes of 24/7 gas station, Dairy Queen, McDonald's, Mexican restaurant, diner, pizza place. This was convenient. ‍ -hotel was very clean & smelled nice. -fridge in room was spacious. -only 2 floors/levels - walls are pretty thick- we had a newborn baby next door who was a crier but we could barely hear him/her -on both floors, at the end of the hall, there was an outdoor staircase balcony thing with a smoker's ash tray thing, which was convenient as hell, being a smoker. They should add a bench on the 2nd like they have on the 1st. Still a + -The beds and pillows were so amazing! Made for comfy sleep! *CONS* -hotel wasn't prepared to accommodate an "extra blanket" request...lame. Was I supposed to pack an extra 1? No, you're a hotel, you need to be ready for that. The word is Hospitality. -they advertised Queen beds.... I own Queen beds and 1 king... those were Full sized mattresses- not Queens at all. No doubt. Lame. -NOT WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE. NO WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCE AND NO ELEVATOR ‍this is a big inconvenience for young families too being that it is so hard to travel light sometimes. -Yumi (manager/front desk lady) I'm just going to say it- this South Asian sister may not like black people she was short, condescending, from the start. Cutting me off while I'm giving her my info at check in. Not a fan of rude employees at a hotel -WIFI DRAMA ‍ my phone could connect but my PS4 could not no matter where we moved it and I have never had this issue, this being my 4th hotel this yr. We always travel with the PS4. When we approached Yumi, she basically said it was our problem and was not even interested in fixing it. She said she didn't know anything about PS4s lol but the hotel wifi worked and walked off I'm saying this again if it weren't already clear from an earlier Con- Yumi is in the wrong industry. She had no problem with coming off rude, disinterested in our comfort and satisfaction as paying guests to our hotel- Wild! - while I enjoyed having the outdoor staircase balcony thingy, the door didn't require key card access and so if someone wanted, they could walk into the building without being a paying guest yikes. - bath tub couldn't hold bath water. ‍ - our door to our room looked beat up and we had issues getting into our room at time. Like the key card wouldn't catch and at times we had to pull hard for the door to remain closed. -hot breakfast was ok but the breakfast window is too short in my opinion (6-9am) I'm used to 10 & 11 AM cut-offs ‍

I should have read the reviews! Used to be a Comfort Inn and was very nice and reasonably priced…read more It is now a Quality Inn. I have always found Quality Inn to be very clean and comfortable and at a reasonable price. This place is an exception. They need to take the word Quality out of their name! Immediately upon entering the hotel I got this Budget Hotel funky unpleasant smell. The clerk wasn't very friendly but I find that Pakistani people lack social skills that way. Next trip I will check out the Best Western.

Problem exists when you try to turn on water. Your getting a cold blast. Shower head is awesome, it's a rain shower head. It needed to be soaked in some CLR or something as some of the nozzles were crusted over and made a few nozzles have such a force and painful. Also, no hairdryer so make sure you bring your own. The lady at the night shift was very nice. We talked knitting. It was cool to chat. Pros: almost Middle of town, near yoders kitchen. Nearly everything is walking distance in the area. Very quiet. Cons: that Damn shower. It's also not pet friendly. And its smoke free. But there is wifi which is great considering most small hotels do not offer that. Review is based on room 16

The price is too HIGH for what you get however. The Beds in my room were broken down on one side where people sit to use the phone etc. The room was reasonably clean, but poorly fitted out. One odd chair in the corner. No desk or surface to write or work on. NO coffee maker - but they did have a microwave and little fridge. The Breakfast was ....odd. No one was around, the breakfast set up was strange: empty and sparse. Dont show up hungry. Additionally there was no coffee. I should add I went to breakfast at 7 am - dead center of the breakfast hour. There are plenty of services around the hotel that travelers need - gas, food etc... This is the best choice in the area - but the off-season price (mid September) was $100. I could have stayed at a Hampton for that rate. I will say this its far better to stay here than in Terra Huate

The room is a little smaller than most, but very clean and comfortable. The beds and pillows were awesome. I did have to unplug the refrigerator because it was so loud, but like I said the cooler was right out the door. The attached restaurant was very nice and despite some of the reviews I read quite reasonable. The catfish was great. The free morning breakfast was also very nice. Coffee was especially good. All this for under $100.

Do not believe any of the 5 Star ratings for this k joke of a hotel. There was no one at check in. A sign said to phone a number to get assistance. No one answered the phone...Eventually someone arrived to check me in. My room was a disgrace. Filthy, stained carpet, hair in the shower and the linens looked like they hadn't been changed. The tv had a message to see the front desk. The staff member had to add a Roku. Apparently they were changing service. The AC unit was noisy and barely worked. The pool was green with whatever was growing in it. On checkout the front door was locked. I left the key on the concrete. I paid $300 for 2 nights. Oh, and don't expect an email confirmation for your stay. Their system is being renovated. My suggestion...stay somewhere else but if you like Indian food go to the restaurant. You won't be disappointed. .

There is a little coffee nook on the 2nd floor with a Keurig and coffee pods. They are VERY clear on the website that you must be able to navigate a flight of stairs for 300 numbered rooms.

It's a historic building so I get it, and they have tried to provide some accessibility with a lift on the outside of the building, but if accessibility is a key concern you may want to stay elsewhere.

Wallpaper is peeling off the walls. The deadbolt door lock didn't work, so we shoved chairs in front of the door.

I actually feel bad for the owner and his family; evidently they are pretty poor and are stuck with this dump without the resources to maintain it. They were perfectly nice. But I would not stay here again.

The theming in the room is done so nicely, from cool themed bedding to specialty lighting throughout the room. It's just a lot of fun. The steam shower also has shower panel and two overhead shower heads, it felt incredible. Jacuzzi tub was also very nice. Everything was clean and the room smelled great. The Continental breakfast is just bagels/English muffins/pastries, cereal and a waffle maker, but it hit the spot. The coffee was tasty too. I think I saw a little basket of fresh fruit and some yogurt in the fridge too. The pool is up and running again, we dipped our toes a little but mostly enjoyed the sauna and hot tub. The steam room in the pool area is currently closed for repairs, but that was no issue for us. I'm sure they'll have it repaired by the time we come back. We enjoyed this trip so much we started planning another as soon as we got in the car lol. We can't wait to come back.

It was really nice as expected: historic house and gardens, well maintained. For quality and amenities it's more on the level of a nice B&B, with a generous cafe just a short walk away (but not in winter!). Staff were kind and upgraded our room when the small room we checked in somehow had a messed bed. Generous parking and much of the main sites are drivable. I'd love to come back in another season!

I did my best to move most of them. You can see the staff just ran over them with there quads while on patrol, lol. Not much flora from mushrooms to birds to animals wild flowers. The U of I torn down the "tea house" that the original owner was disguised with that act. With all the houses on the property why did not the U of I make a beautiful creation like they do on campus to restore history. They might have some events that are cool, but grounds not taken care of at least get some goats. If you like easy snooze trails, this if your hike, nothing here is even a moderate level, all easy. Only a honest review as always.
