Recently (11/06/25), My wife and I had a breakdown on our 5th Wheel Trailer that forced us to stop over in Monticello, Illinois for the night! We had to call out a mobile RV service company to fix our trailer. The Best Western in Monticello had no issues with us just popping in without a reservation! In fact they were extremely accommodating and just about the most gracious hosts that we have ever encountered at any hotel that we have stayed at! The rooms were clean as was the rest of the facility. In fact, it looked like they had recently updated or remodeled ( or was possibly a new hotel altogether)! All of the employees were cordial and sincere, especially since we weren’t sure if we would be able to leave the next day! Fortunately, our trailer was repaired the next day, and we were able to continue our journey. We were not charged another nights lodging even though we didn’t check out of the hotel until almost 4pm! Thank You for your courtesy and compassion Best Western Monticello!!!

Ok others...here's my experience. Turned down the bed, uncovered a 6 legged critter. Caught it, plucked it's head...tossed it in the crapper,,,,grabbed a hand towel...it had a long string of hair on it wiped my hands,,,brushed my teeth and went to bed. Upon awakening and dressing i was anticipating that nice best western breakfast...nope not @ this property...there you have it.
