Very Poor
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : Club next door and parking lot was full of people we didn't even check in. We pulled in through the crowd and ended up pulling right back out and leaving.

Very Poor
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : This place is surrounded by abandoned buildings. Landscape is overgrown, Property is outdated and under staffed. Pictures on internet do not properly portray this place! Ruuunn!!

Disappointing
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : Easy check in and check out.
  : There wasn't an actual desk clerk to check me in, just a kiosk with a guy over zoom to check me in. The couch had dog hair on it and the bathroom looked pretty dirty. Most of the property looked to be in a dilapidated state appearing to be under renovation, and I saw the management sit around and bicker about the property all day. Definitely has a long way to go in order to become a decent stay.

Pleasant

Very Good

Disappointing
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : Clean
  : The comforter on the bed was as thin as a sheet. The humidity in the room made everything feel wet. Because of the humidity, the floor was slick.

Fair
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : Close to the university
  : Room was dirty, dead bugs on the floor. Staff started cleaning the hallway at 0630, very noisy. Didnt feel secure, anyone could walk into the hotel. The kiosk check in, kind of a joke.

Poor
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : It was convenient to the SIU campus and had a newer microwave and refrigerator.
  : The front desk was not staffed 24 hours. It was 90 degrees when we checked in and the air conditioner was not turned on so it was AWFUL in the room. When we turned on the unit it was noisy and took over 12 hours to cool off the room. The towels were tiny and some were stained. We had only one small bar of soap for four people. There was only one outlet and two USB plugs available. The desk lamp did not work so the lighting was terrible. Limited options at breakfast, even for a continental breakfast.
