The hotel was beautiful. Nice pool, basketball hoop and a lovely outside patio with grill and fire pit. The breakfast choice was not great and the food was awful. Disappointed knowing we paid a lot of money to stay here. Another benefit was we were close to all the stores gas stations and restaurants.

The East Peoria Residence Inn was a wonderful stay. All of the staff was professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and very good at their jobs. This includes front desk staff, breakfast staff, and custodians. This facility was very well managed and extremely clean. Everything about our stay was wonderful. We will definitely stay at Residence Inns in the future.

A convenience issue (having an ice machine) turned into a safety issue (leaking water everywhere). Reported it first day at 8:00 A only to came back at 8:00 P to nothing having been done. Front desk said maintenance had left for the day and they would fix it in the morning. After three more nights it never was fixed. I was disregarded and disrespected as a “loyal customer” - I cannot imagine how they treat others.

When we arrived they gave is an “accessible room” on the 1st floor near the exit a floor and room we didn’t request and when we asked to change the front desk gave us attitude then put us in a room with flickering lights and a non functioning kitchen light. In addition the room smelled like old cooked food and the tub was full of hairs from the previous occupants. Our experience was not pleasant and when we asked for just a little extra time to check out wet were denied. I could bit recommend this place. The experience was ruined by poor customer service.

Service was great and everything was very nice and clean. My only complaint is the mattress is pretty hard. I was surprised the mattress was so hard being that every other time I've stayed at a Marriott hotel in the past, they've always had super comfortable mattresses, I think they called them Dream soft or something of that sort. Everything else was so great, that for 1 night, I'd stay again.

The hotel itself was not too bad but the area was not the greatest. However, I don’t blame the hotel for the area as they are doing the best with what they have. The worst part about this was the staff and service. The hotel has a 4pm check in policy. However, I called ahead on the day of my check in and requested an early check in wherein I was told this could be accommodated. Upon arrival, the girl I spoke to on the phone happened to be the person at the counter and she proceeds to tell me they don’t have any rooms available for early check in and they don’t allow it happen ever. Furthermore, she told me her name over the phone and then confirmed her name in person revealing she was the same person I spoke to. Her manager was present and she tried to lie about what she told over the phone. My issue was my plan centered around being able to check in early because they told me they could accommodate this. The hotel’s policy was check in at 4 so she could have just told me no over the phone and I would have made other arrangements. This was extremely unprofessional and almost caused serious issues for me. Again, I’m not mad about their check in policy, I’m mad they told me they were waiving it only to reneg once I arrived. Just awful.
