My review will be limited as we came during their holiday schedule. We had reservations (an…read moreabsolute must) on Monday during the holiday season (normally closed on Monday). Their service was limited to drinks and a featured appetizer. The ambiance was stunning! Hats off to the designer of the Christmas decorations. The decor set the expectation of my experience and they did not disappoint!. There were 8 in our party and we ordered from the holiday drink menu, designed like a Christmas Card which is a genius idea. We tried 8 of their drinks and passed them around to taste. ALL were well balanced so hats off to the bartenders as the place was packed and it would have been easy to let your standards slip when you are as busy as they were. Although the place was packed our service was great. I can't wait to return and try their food menu. If it is anything like their attention to detail, I am so excited to return and I fully expect to post a great review. What a great evening with friends and a great kick off of the holidays. Just a quick note on pricing: This is not a chain restaurant so don't expect chain restaurant prices. My opinion is it is deserved price point when you consider the standards they set. It's a perfect place for date night, entertaining a client or a girls evening out.

Love that they are pet friendly! Pet charge is minimal $ 25 compared to some of the other hotels…read more Check in was easy- nice and friendly staff. Rooms were quite colorful - it looks like they had recently been remodeled which was nice. Air conditioner smelled super musty with old dank air coming out. Had to turn it off as it smelled really bad. Sheets could also use an upgrade. Stains on the bedspread and stains on the sheet (blood stains) sheets and bedspreads normally give me the creeps, but finding stains- ewww. Fine place for passing through. Breakfast offered

I got charged 210$ and I've been trying to get them to reimburse me for almost three months now and can never get a manager on the phone. This hotel only cares about getting money whatever way they can and will do nothing to help you. Avoid this hotel at all costs!

Very dated but it was clean and comfy and pet Friendly. I…read moreasked for a non smoking room and guess what ?! It was ! At other places you ask for Non smoking and it reeks of . Not here. The room has a fridge, microwave, tv and wifi! Does need to be organized and cleaned up a bit better outside but it looks like they are in the middle if improvements. The owner was very friendly and have super customer service. That in and of itself is what gave it 5 stars!! It's rare anymore

Wow!! This place is amazing! If you like eating out at upscale restaurants, Modern Family Dinners…read morecan supply you with the same types of gourmet food right in your own home! I've copy cated food from nice restaurants, but by the time I buy all the ingredients, I've spent much more and have a bunch of extra ingredients that I won't use again!! I buy the meals for two and usually have left overs or our granddaughter helps us finish it! Lol! Deserts are awesome also!! I order online and then pick up on Saturdays. If I forget it on Saturdays I can pick it up on Mondays also. Very clean pick up location in Effingham! Would definitely recommend this business!

We always get chocolate shakes---thick, rich, chocolate yumminess. I'm sure they're a caloric nightmare, so I just block those thoughts out. The "food" part of the menu looks to be heavy on the fried-side, with some salads, pizzas, etc. Keep thinking about the Walleye platter, though..maybe some day.

The cole slaw has always been amazing, and I love the chocolate chip cookie dough flurries and the chocolate milkshakes. I also enjoy just a regular hamburger.

This is a beautiful little rest stop off I-70, with a patch of forest and park that has clearly…read morebeen here for a long time. The trees have to be at least 40 years old, and they have grown in thick enough that the ground stays in shade pretty much all day. Even in the middle of summer it feels ten degrees cooler once you walk in under them. There is old-school playground equipment here, the kind most parks replaced years ago. I doubt it gets much use. Nice to see a little window of how things were back in time. Picnic benches are scattered through the trees, so you can eat something you brought along instead of sitting in the car. The whole area is well manicured and groomed. Somebody is clearly still taking care of the place, which you do not always see at a stop like this. It makes for a genuinely peaceful break on a longer drive. The bathrooms are indoors, so even with snow on the ground you can use the facilities without freezing. They were clean when I stopped. There are vending machines in the back too, which came in handy for a quick snack before getting back on the road. If you are driving through, this one is worth pulling off for instead of pushing on to the next exit.
