Very Good

I did not like anything about this property. Staff that we had to call for service to begin. insisted that I need to pay again when I had the receipt in my hands. Beds are awful and super uncomfortable, Web sight said I had a mountain view, I look out the window and saw trees from the ground to the sky. Please show me where in Illinois is there a mountain? I have lived here all my life and do not know of mountains in the flat lands. Web sight said that I had a queen bed, it was a Full size bed. Very upsetting.
Motel is clean, manager & staff are very welcoming and can’t beat the location. Rooms are ok esp since we don’t spend much time in the room while sightseeing anyways, but could use an update. Would stay here again.
Room was small but very adequate. Clean and comfy. TV, small refrigerator, microwave. Traveled with my dogs. Large grass area for walking. Rooms are on ground floor with door to outside. Very convenient.
