It was 11 PM, I was coming off a flight into Bloomington/Normal and there were no Ubers available…read morefor me. Franki with Rides Unlimited totally saved me that night. Rides Unlimited is a private driving service that serves Bloomington/Normal 24 hours a day. Franki and her husband are always on call and can pick you up from any destination in town. I told Franki that I needed to get to a hotel across town and she was on it! She knew how to get there, and even showed me how to easily get to another place that I needed to visit the following morning. Franki was such a sweetheart and very fun to ride with. Not only that, but her driving was perfect. I felt comfortable riding in the back seat. The prices are very fair. It cost me $25 to get across town, which was absolutely a reasonable price. Please do keep in mind that Rides Unlimited only accepts cash, Cash App or Zelle. When I was ready to head back to the airport, I didn't even bother with checking the ride-share apps. I called Franki to schedule a drop off and she was at my location on time. When I'm back in town, I know who I'm going to call to help me get to my destination.

This location only accepts cash or check, no credit cards. I stayed at this property for 2 days. It was very clean and organized. It is a historical building that has been remodeled and to accommodate tourists and business people but to also keep the building historic. The property is owned and operated by the Forrest Historical Society. The preservation of this building was completed by the previous village president who has passed on. His legacy and contribution to this property is on display here. The building is across from the mini railroad track. It was not open while I was there. There is also a hat museum next door. Visitatin is by appointment only. Look for Jerry's Hat Museum of Facebook for more information. WIFI is available and works well. There is an individual bathroom for each of the rooms. Beth took very good care of us while we were there. I chose to cook my own breakfast the first day and there was plenty available to cook. The 2nd day, Beth came at 6:30 in the morning to cook for myself and the other guest (who was from Switzerland). All of food was fresh and excellent. She prepped oatmeal with blueberries and then served with a choice of more blueberries in a sauce or syrup. The coffee choice was above average and would be equivalent to Starbucks. She also served chopped fruit which was fresh, not from a can. There is one TV in the building in a common area but did not turn it on. There is a bar within walking distance but they serve no food. You can get your own beer at the Caseys (within 1/10th of a mile) and use the refrigerator in the kitchen. Restaurants in the area are limited. There is a family restaurant (Eagle's Nest) that has excellent ground beef tacos. Their peak business is during lunch. They are not so busy in the evening. Another choice the Cow Catcher but they close when on vacation, etc. Call before relying on going to eat at this location. You can cook in the hotel kitchen if you wish. But if you don't want to cook at all, then go to either of the restaurants in Forrest or drive to Fairbury which is 7 miles away. Don't drink much as there are local police that patrol the area. Be very careful with this. The whole place is very clean and maintained. They historical society takes a lot of pride on this building. If I had one criticism, it would be there could be more electrical outlets. But the building was built when electricity was used for lights only. I would not want to see them modify this. Just consider that if you pack in 10 devices that need to be charged, you cannot charge them all at once. This was a very good stay and exceeded my expectations.
