The hotel was priced just right, hotel was clean, staff was friendly, pool was heated. . overall it was a pleasant stay. My one compliant which not everyone will have is, is that the breakfast didn't really have a meatless option (unless you like oatmeal) so I had to go to McDonald's next door. My husband on the other hand, enjoyed the breakfast since he does eat me. I would definitely stay here again.

This is a 1 star hotel. The staff is friendly and DID let me check in early (about an hour) We came down to spend the day at starved rock but it rained the whole day and my room was already booked. I was very grateful for that. I have a days inn closer to home that is so nice so that’s why I chose this place.. ok so upon check in we realized the back door is broken. There is tape keeping the lock in so the door actually doesn’t even lock.. next we went into the pool. Unfortunately no hot tub, that’s usually one of the amenities i look for so I was disappointed in that in itself but the pool is pretty gross. You can feel lots of dirt and rocks on the pool floor. Lots of hair and was SO overly CHLORINATED. My husband never opened his eyes and complained of the burn the whole day. After 10-15 minutes we got out. On the plus there was life vests for kids. My son who usually loves pools would not get in because it’s 3 ft all across. Too scary and another disappointment in this hotel. Now for the room. I booked 2 double beds. Silly of me to assume that meant twins. I’ve never been to a hotel that had twin beds instead of queens. We pulled them together to accommodate our needs. The A/c only worked on high. That means I woke up 4 separate times to turn on/off due to being freezing or sweating. The carpet had sticky matted spots from previous guests. I was disgusted and kept shoes on my entire stay. The SMELL was horrible. Like straight socks. I sprayed perfume about 8 times and left the window open to air it out. It seems to come from the AC. And finally the bathroom. Black mold across the upper walls.. it made it harsh to breathe. I waited until seeing breakfast before leaving a review. Super disappointing there also. I was hoping for a waffle maker which seems standard at most hotels even cheap ones. Unfortunately the only thing offered was cereal, mini muffins, and jimmy deans frozen breakfast sandwiches and yogurts. SO disappointing. Let’s not forget that the fan stood on in a room either next to mine or above which was so loud in our room ALL NIGHT. Overall for the price (about 140$) I wished I had just stayed home.. I will not be back again. I recommend spending a little more for the Holliday inn or grizzly jacks or maybe try the motel 8 but skip this place.Rooms: Not good read reviewNoteworthy details: Lots of places nearby (the rootbeer stand is great)

Our bathroom reeked of pet urine. The hotel charges an extra $20 ( we did not bring a pet) for pets. Evidently, this extra fee is not used for enhanced cleaning.Edit: Wyndham Ogelsby, thank you for replying to my review.We did in fact stay at your hotel.The reservation was in my wife's name. That is why my name is not in your system.Your hotel is at 120 N Lewis Ave, Oglesby, IL 61348.Please do a deep cleaning of room 115 to remove the pet urine smell.Noteworthy details: Staff is not very friendly. As we left, we notified the front desk of the pet urine smell. She did say she was sorry but made no attempt to compensate us with a partial refund.

Just what you would expect for the price, but the staff is what got my biggest vote. They were super friendly. Played with my kids a bit. But to top it off, when we left and stopped at a next door gas station, we didn't know we had forgotten some things in our rooms. One of the housekeeping staff had tracked us down to bring the items to us. Wow! That is above and beyond! Yes, she was well tipped!

Very pleased with our stay here. It was very clean, beds were super comfortable, breakfast was wonderful, staff very courteous. All you could ever expect from a 2star hotel! Basic but very sufficient. We didn’t come there to stay at a luxury hotel, but to hike nearby. Did not use the pool - which is small and indoor, but looked clean! Will definitely stay again when in the area!

Very clean for a Pet Friendly room. The pool looked clean as well but we didn’t get a chance to swim. Friendly staff at check-in and good rates over all!

Convenient right of the highway. Good value but you get what you pay for. King bed was comfortable but all the pillows were small and the same style which were not our preferred style. Breakfast was meh.

so the front desk and surrounding was very clean and seemed clean. we got to our room and now comforters, dust on the ceiling, smallbathroom and shower area. outdated. found a bug on the bed(checked and no bed bugs) and also found a smallpill on the floor. whileon the floor, noticed out dirty it wa. we would have left after the pill scenario but we drove 10 hours and didn't have any strength left to leave and check somewhere else. overall, we slept here and got up and left the next day. needs some serious updates and cleaning.

The owners were extremely polite and went out of their way to give us a different more preferred room. The room was extremely clean and the staff was very gracious and polite. We will definitely stay here for our future Starved Rock visits!

A clean, quiet and convenient stop while traveling through the area. The staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful. The woman working in the breakfast room was extremely conscientious about keeping items well stocked and clean.

I just wanted a relaxing moment on the pool after visit the state park this weekend, they closed the pool all the time I was there. CLEANING they say... It was my only weekend off in months and I didn't enjoy staying here. I bring my kid with the promise of swimming all afternoon after walk that much... he is disappointed. Room was ok, water dripping on the bathroom and breakfast area. "Breakfast" 6 am to 8 am only... no hot breakfast, just do it your self. Microwave egg cheese sausage sandwich, tinny cup for O.J.

Pretty decent hotel. Staff was very nice. Rooms were decent if not a bit outdated. Large gap between the door and the floor so you can hear people in the hallway all the time. Breakfast was alright but is free so I can't complain. Location is great! Right next to a gas station and a few restaurants/fast food. Only 15 minutes away from Starved Rock.Rooms: Rooms were standard, if not a bit outdated.Food & drinks: Able to get delivery to the room. A few places to eat within walking distance.

Had a great stay here. Beds were super clean and comfy and the check-in lady was super accommodating and friendly. We were late for a wedding and she helped check us in on time and we really really appreciated her help.
