I got into town around 7pm. There was a child at check in. They called an adult up which is when i was informed they had already rented out all their rooms. They sent me to a sister location down the road. The staff at check in there had completely blood shot eyes, but was friendly. The room at the motorlodge was nice and clean, but the parking lot lights were so bright we barely slept.

I was checked in by a very pleasant lady and given my choice of a first-floor room where I spent two nights. The motel was clean, featuring a comfortable bed, fridge, microwave, and good wifi. The room appeared to have been renovated, apparently with the luxurious bathroom having been expanded at the expense of the rest of the room (which was a bit confining.) The furnishings were utilitarian but functional. There are plenty of places to shop & eat nearby. I would stay here again but hope the owners upgrade furnishings that would enhance guest comfort.

Room was clean and the woman at the front desk waa friendly. The shelf a small table in the room were oddly not typical of a hotel room. It was plastic "garage" style pieces. I would recommend even 2nd hand wooden furniture over what is in the room. The bed was comfy enough and the AC kept it cool nicely.

Do not stay at this hotel. Disgusting! Dirty, dirty, dirty. Room stunk. Air conditioner reaked. Door rotted from below. Floor/floorboards dirty with bug excrement stains. Curtains disgustingly dirty. Broken blinds. Random cords everywhere. When we complained about the smell, they gave us a bottle of air freshener. Drove 2 hours home at 1 in the morning instead of staying here.

Staying here long term for business e cause it’s is cheap, however, for the price, it is a very good experience. Owners are nice and friendly, and do a great job with cleanliness. I was hesitant at first because the reviews were bad, but after noticing they were all older i decided to give it a try, I’m glad I did. The new owners really care about the place.

Did not stay, had to leave right away, but the room is very small, the bed is a fold up, plastic tables. The bathroom is clean, the H/A unit is new, the floor is clean. The owners seem very kind.

The rooms are exactly as advertised - no frills, clean, cheap. I stayed two separate weekends in the same room. One of two issues I had was with the heating system - loud, and would not just stay on, the fan only runs when the heat was on. That guaranteed an interrupted sleep. Speaking of sleep, the bed was a hill with the ridge in the middle and slopes to the side. I recommend you bring your own pillow and an extra blanket if you need one. For the price, it was a fair deal. The folks there were super nice to me.

No heat had to get help. Room should have been warm upon arrival especially with below zero temperatures. Common sense tells u that.

Overcharged for our pet at check-in. Wouldnt have caught it if I hasn't asked for a reciept of charges at check-in. Office not open in the morning until 8a.m. Blinds broken and missing slats - curtain rod broken. Huge, alcohol party with construction workers until midnight outside our door - couldnt sleep, felt very unsafe. If the Relax Inn is rated the #2 motel in Streator, IL we'd hate to see what the others look like. Stay Away from this motel !!!!

Overtly controlling staff. They literally watch the camera 24-7 and don’t hesitate to call your room phone repeatedly until you answer if they think you are breaking one of their many many rules even if you are not.

The owner of the hotel is exceptionally caring. She always has a bright smile for everyone. She keeps an eye on the property even late at night, taking personal responsibility for the safety of her customers. She is professional and works hard to provide clean, comfortable rooms. People come back because of her kindness.
