Pros: - The owners here are absolute sweethearts!!…read more- I asked about vehicle safely, and they said there's never been a break-in in the 39 years they've been running this place. Gave me peace of mind parking there - Room has a fridge, microwave, flat screen, table - Very clean. No bugs, yay!! - Truck parking available (I travel with a 24' box truck plus a 20' trailer, and they had a gravel lot for big vehicles) - Great price at ~$61 - Visited during summer, and the room was warm when I arrived. A/C unit got the room cold in less than 10 min - Smoking and non-smoking rooms available - Several fast food options within walking distance (right next to a McDonald's and a Dairy Queen) - Pilot gas station across the street is perfect for tractor/trailers, RVs, large vehicles, etc. (I mention this because there is an exit just south of this one that is NOT truck-friendly, and it can be a pain to find a gas station with plenty of room to navigate if you aren't the best driver) - Check-out is 11AM. Not a pro or a con, just extra info Cons: - I travel with a blanket and my own pillow, so it wasn't an issue for me, but I'd recommend other people may want to do so as well. I'd rate their pillows a 2 out of 5 (but for the price, they're just fine, and I'm honestly a pillow snob). And I can see how someone could get cold if they came here during winter (unless the motel adds a comforter or wool blanket during cold months). - Some things have been renovated, but some things are still a teensy bit out-dated. But really, for the price, it's actually more updated than I expected. And in my book: clean is greater than new - There's a train that passed by several times during the night (or maybe several trains that passed once during the night... hmm). You can vaguely hear the track noise and train "choo-choo" sound (that's abominable... I don't know what it's called! A train horn?) from where I was. It only happened 2-3 times, and it totally didn't bother me, although it may if you're a light sleeper. Bottom line: Great price, clean, and convenient for traveling with large vehicles. Bookmarked on Yelp, and plan to return on my next trip up to Chicago.

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.

This is a lovely bed and breakfast right in the heart of the downtown center of Pontiac! It is…read moreabundantly clear the owners really paid attention to detail in converting the home to the inn. The entire second floor has the four rooms available to guests and they have several with their own baths. We were the only guests that night, so it was super quiet! The first floor is where the yummy breakfast is served and Sharon goes all out with so many choices on what you can eat! Her waffles with fresh fruit were out of this world and the presentation makes you feel like a queen. I would defnitely recommend staying here to pamper yourself - even if just on a trip home or on your way to somewhere else instead of a destination getaway. Stop at the Route 66 Museum a block away, check out the old cars that come into town all the time and sit on the porch and wish you could live in such a friendly and peaceful place!!

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.
