For over a decade, we've chosen the Quality Inn and Suites in Mattoon for our stays, only skipping…read moreit when the hotel changed to offering a continual breakfast. Positives * Friendly and Helpful Staff: Every visit, the staff has been exceptional, always welcoming and willing to assist. * Outstanding Free Breakfast: The breakfast is the best you'll find in town, with sausage patties, eggs, a solid variety of cereals and fruit, both apple and orange juice, and delicious waffles, all included in your stay. * Very Clean: The hotel consistently maintains a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property. * Comfortable Beds: The beds are cozy and provide a good night's sleep every time. Negatives * Rooms Need Updating: Unfortunately, the rooms haven't been renovated in quite some time. There aren't enough electrical outlets or USB ports to meet the needs of two guests with devices like watches, phones, and laptops--and my medical equipment needed a plug as well. * Low Toilet Height: Standard room toilets are only 16" high, which can be tough for people with mobility challenges. While I was switched to a handicap-accessible room, the toilet was still 16" high (though it did have grab bars). According to ADA Standards, toilets should be 17"-19" high, with 19" being ideal. Unfortunately, despite many years of good experience, these issues mean we'll probably look elsewhere for accommodations on our next visit.

This is not a Bed and Breakfast, no breakfast voucher either - so forget anything you read otherwise - I complained about the sign that was even in the window as you walked in stating Bed and Breakfast, which they did remove the next day. Speaking of walking in - I had to push the automatic door to the lobby open (they did fix that the next day) only to find a kiosk virtual front desk (from a different town/state who knows where, that had to call about everything that required attention). After we had drove a few hours, we did get a text to warn us that the elevator was broken (so check on that before you go, because it was still broke when we left). I had booked a room specific to 2nd floor, as my wife has some trouble with stairs after hip surgery (none on first floor, and 3rd floor only has stair access). After the steep climb with luggage (We heard some poor soul struggling to get luggage up the stairs and thought he was going to have a heart attack, but he made it before I was able to get out to help). We got settled in, but before the day was over... the TV quit working. Mr. kiosk suggested the typical things (reboot etc...) that I had already tried and had to show him a picture of the screen that showed it had no connection. He said they would have someone fix the next day after treating me like I did not know anything (I worked in IT over 40 years, I can tell when a Roku cannot connect to a network). Next day, after being out all day, came in to relax - no TV still, Mr. Kiosk said we could move to another room... OK we pack up and move to a new room, and it is super cold, go to Mr. Kiosk again because we could not find a thermostat, his solution ... we move to another room that has a thermostat we can adjust on the third floor - no - we are tired we don't want to lug up another flight of stairs, we will just get out another blanket. We did get a call at that point, and I was told the thermostat is currently in another room for the whole floor, but I can go and adjust (got there and it was set to 66), so we finally was able to settle in and watch TV for the night. (They are planning on making changes to have individual controlled, but something you might want to consider). The last day was better, but not sure we will be back even though we did like the room itself. Definitely, buyer beware - ask before booking.

These people have said that they renovated their hotel rooms, and I paid more to be in an upgraded (Executive room)! 1. The first room that they put me in did not have a smoke detector at all! 2. One chair was dirty, and the seat springs were broken. 3. There was black mold around the vanity sink. 4. The lamp shades were torn. 5. The bathroom tub bottom was filthy dirty. 5. The shower curtain rod was falling off the wall! I did ask for a different room, and was moved to another which was barely in better shape! For breakfast, I was told by a staff member that the coffee pot was broken, and found that the scrambled eggs and biscuit gravy BOTH were cold, although the man warmed it up quickly. By that time, I had lost my appetite and opted to go to McDonald's instead! I spent over $125 per night for this fleabag joint! NEVER AGAIN. Their new restaurant ( INDIAN food) is overpriced for the area, and judging from the hotel's cleanliness, I refused to eat there! Next year I will be staying in Mattoon, only 8 miles down the same road! STAY AWAY from this one!

This is a review of Stix Grille, not the hotel itself…read more This was a miss for us. We placed our order, the veggie flatbread for an appetizer, the Wagyu Burger and onion rings, and the $32 Ribeye (medium rare) also with onion rings. Also, I asked for a Triptych beer to be brought out with my burger. Shortly after ordering, we were told they didn't have the ingredients to make the flatbread, so we cancelled the appetizer. When the steak came out, it was far beyond medium rare, with some charring on one end. The burger was passible, but nowhere near the quality I would have expected for something marketed as wagyu. Also, it was not served with chipotle mayo. I had to ask for regular mayo. And my beer never came out until I was done with the burger. Our waiter did an excellent job communicating with us, but the meal was a mess. The steak wasn't worth $32 and was far too thin for them to promise "grilled to your preferred temperature." I let the waiter know we weren't pleased with the steak. No attempt to compensate us was made. This might be a decent place for a quick lunch with a small group, but we don't plan on coming back for dinner.

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

Then we went to my rental car where he engaged just as committedly. He politely asked if I was ok w/ his help, and then used his cell phone lite to look where I had already looked, felt, and told him the retainer was not. But he could see it under the seat and stuck into a gap in the floor paneling. Pretty incredible. Very incredible. Forever grateful. Above and beyond the call.
