Unlike some rest stops that are shared, there are two distinct areas for this rest stop. We stopped on our way South, the stop located North of where Rooks Creek crosses the Interstate. This area provides some nice topographical variety. There is a decent size playground for the kids, a bridge crossing the creek to a dead-end lookout. The inside includes a couple of vending areas, and large clean bathrooms. Since I-55 is one of the major thoroughfares of the state of Illinois, there are large rest stops every 50 - 100 miles in both directions. Per the IDoT website, this is to promote driver safety. It also encourages frequent rest stops for those passengers who need it.

They had the option to pick that on the website! Checking in was a breeze. Early check in was also notified to us the day prior and on the drive there. My husband made a call to them asking if we can have two rooms connected and they were very accommodating. They didn't promise but they delivered. Customer service was very satisfactory. We not only were able to have connected rooms for our family, they placed us in a corner of the hotel away from other patrons. That was very thoughtful of them. Rooms were very roomy and clean. Beds were extra comfortable. Bathrooms were very nice. The double Queen room was bigger than our king size room. Free breakfast is served!! Wow I find that a total rarity these days. We didn't get to enjoy a free breakfast since we went to a nearby IHOP but next time we will. My kids LOVED the pool. Excellent size and there was a hot tub. The water temp for both was great! We were able to swim very late (10:00pm) and woke up early to swim again (8:00am). Overall it was a wonderful weekend stay. No hassles and very pleasant. I'm very pleased we picked this hotel rather than any other in Morris, Illinois. It makes me want to research and try Holiday Inn in other cities.

Here's a quick rundown of the good and bad. The good was the checkin was quick and the desk agent friendly. Room was spacious and clean with lots of room. I particularly liked the kitchen with fridge and microwave. Bed was really comfy and nice. Loved the TV and selection of channels. Also, the hotel is walking distance to BP gas station with mini-mart (which comes in handy for soda, snacks and quick meals). Wendy's is also in walking distance, behind hotel. Now the bad ... the room itself smelled of mold. Mind you, this is a new hotel but it had a bad mold smell. I also spotted mold on the tissue box. Upon touching, it was wet. Was there a leak at some point? Finally, I seriously believe the hotel may be haunted. I've never written this in a review but am now. Throughout the night, my bedroom door mysteriously opened (even after closing to the sound of a "click"). I also heard the sounds of rattling chains and howls. These WERE NOT from dogs or other pets. I was in a corner suite with no neighbor. This hotel is located next to a well known haunted cemetery (it's behind the Dunk'n Donuts across the street from this property). I would stay here again but I'm not sure how excited I would be given the spookiness factor
