I’ve been to this hotel 2 years in a row for deer hunting in Southern Illinois. The staff is very friendly. From the manager (who remembered me from last year) to the wonderful lady who runs the breakfast bar in the morning, the experience was top notch. Highly recommend when traveling in that neck of the woods.

I really like all the Holiday Exspres hotels. Rooms are clean and you also get a breakfast. Most have a pool and prices are around $150 or so.

Awesome visit! Rooms were extremely clean. Rooms were large with a very comfortable bed. Everyone I encountered from the staff seemed to go out of their way to offer a smile or greeting. Very pleasant atmosphere.

Check in was with someone who appeared to be on drugs and couldnt answer questions, the guests were shady as well so had to park as close as we could to the room to check on it often. We walked in and immediately smelled as if the toilet exploded and the shower curtain smelled like urine. I didnt even get up to use the restroom because I didnt want to step on the carpet with barefeet. The people above us were stomping around all night, ALL NIGHT. As well as, someone was in and out ALL NIGHT, and every time it sounded as if someone was barging into our room. Will never be back.
