Staff was attentive and friendly offsetting the lack of investment in the infrastructure of the accolodations
booked and pre paid for a king room with sofa. I was not given that kind of room as they said they were sold out of them. odd part is the parking lot only had 6 cars, not sure how they could be out. my only option was to take a 2 queen room that would have cost me more. front desk staff refused to call the manager at 9:45pm so we could figure out a solution to the problem was only offered to take queen room and manager would let me know what the rate would be in the morning lol. NO lots of nicer hotels priced the same in the area.
We were so impressed with the decor and cleanliness of this Hotel. It reminded us of the classic style of hotels with all the beautiful wood and crown molding. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. We truly were very happy with our stay. We will definitely return the next time we travel to see our family in Clinton.
I have been here before. This is one of the best kept secrets in Decatur, IL. Other than the Lincoln Square Theater which was built around 1915 and host many classic rock concerts. They have a lounge with food and drinks. It is a awesome place to stay.
Initially given a key to a room that was noticeably dirty, sheets messed up on bed, twirls all over bathroom, trash and other sanitary items in trash can.
The people at the desk, cordial and accommodating. When I walked in the hotel seemed very clean. When I got to my room, my room was spotless. The bed was very comfortable, and the towels were unbelievable, very soft and plush. I got a great sleep that night. In the morning, the breakfast was very good and the ladies working the breakfast were very accommodating. When I’m in the area. I will always stay at this hotel.
Very nice hotel and stay but there was no information in the room if there was room service available or any information on restaurants close by or that deliver. When your not familiar with the area, this information being available at the hotel you stay in is very helpful.
Couldn’t connect to the internet but we were only there one night so I didn’t complain. The mini refrigerator made a whining noise when it clicked on, I thought it was a tornado siren because it was storming when we arrived. Breakfast was pretty good. I would stay again.
The hot tub has been broken for a while, ( someone posted a year ago),the fountain was broken...the only part....I really enjoyed was the pool!

Decatur conference center soooo disappointing
The decatur conference center, formerly decatur holidome, Used to be a first class establishment. I held numerous business events, famiky stayed there and cardinal caravan used to come here. What a dusappointment now. We called and asked for early checkin and were told no that they were full. Im not sure anyone else was there. The lights were off in holidome to the point if being unsafe. The website advertised hot tub. It was down. I dont mean being serviced. It was dry and dirty. When i asked staff i was told they had been down for 2 years. Thats deceptive. Pool was cold. I could have stayed at several nicer hitels for 70-80 vs 126 they charged. Showet didntcwork. It barely came out. Breakfast was mediocre. Sorry i expected more for the price. I asked the desk to make a concession. Staff was polite. She said it was up to manager. I left my number no call. Shameful. They earned this review.

The hotel is located in a very quiet area about 10 minutes outside of Decatur itself. It is a very nice and spacious hotel, although it is definitely starting to show its age in some aspects. It would have been awesome to visit this hotel in its glory days, but it is still an affordable, decent hotel that met my needs.
