Breakfast is simple, often just waffles and a few basics, and feedback on the pool ranges from clean and usable to closed or not inviting.

After reading reviews, I was nervous, but we were greeted by a friendly worker at the front desk. Our room was clean and quiet. The kids had fun in the pool, which looked clean, and, we met friendly people. My family also enjoyed the variety of breakfast items. The only negative thing was that our room smelled like old man’s cologne. It didn’t bother my family but drove me nuts.

Your average "no frills" hotel. Room was clean, AC worked well. Staff was friendly and helpful. Only concerns I have are... 1) no elevator and 2) security could have been a bit better. All the side entrance doors have "key card" readers but the doors are open/unlocked even if you don't slide your card. Luckily it wasn't a problem for this stay, but it was something my parents who stayed in an adjoining room were a bit uneasy about.

Room was clean. Staff was nice . Bathroom ceiling was peeling. Couldn't get the TV to come on but didn't ask for help--may have been user error. AC couldn't keep up with 100 degree temps but the consistent white noise from the fan helped me sleep through a storm.

This place is deceptive and a joke. It was dirty and smelly and there was open gambling in the lobby as I was checking in. The fake and deceptive reviews misled me into thinking this was a reputable hotel. Nothing could be further from the truth. We left and booked somewhere else. No way would I let my family stay there.

It was a good stay, still currently staying . Hallways could be better clean and trash builds up outside . I’m just a little frustrated that ownership did not discuss they would be spraying the pavement with new asphalt. The company they hired sprayed right next to my car and around while I was at work instead of communicating beforehand that operations was going to be taken place in their parking lot . No Compensation or at the very least a sorry or car wash. Just frustrated because this could’ve been avoided.

This motel is obviously old and in need of a remodel. The lady at the front desk was nice and professional yet small town way. It was clean for as old as it is, but my room did have ants. I can tell the staff is doing the best they can with what they have. I would have liked to have an iron in the room.

The beds were so nasty, had ALOT of hair on them like nobody changed the sheets at all. The tub water didn’t go down, it felt so disgusting I didn’t even wanna sleep there. I asked for sheets to make one bed clean for me & my kids, I’m a housekeeper myself so I know all these things i definitely check, it sounded like a cricket was in my room all night on top of everything. Just terrible HONESTLY. After a long drive nobody wants to sleep in filth, never again.

Overall the condition of the room was very good. It was juat a bit tight to move around but for one person there was enough. The only thing I can give a bad grade for was the need to have the caulking at the top of the shower worked on...and it DID NOT affect the showering. I would recommend it and will use them again when back in the area.

The staff were great but our room left much to be desired. The dead bolt was missing part of it so it didn't work, and all you had to do was turn the door handle to exit the room (we had a toddler with us so this was a nightmare to secure him). One of the mattresses coils was shot on the left side so i felt like i was going to roll out of the bed the whole time. The breakfast was small but nice, but no chairs or tables to really sit outside the room to eat.

I stayed at this motel only because I only knew I was coming to Galesburg 10 days earlier so I had no option for a location nearby. Some of the motel guests seemed to be living there, and I felt somewhat unsafe, especially as the staff seemed uninterested in anything beyond being at the front desk talking to friends online. The access to this motel is through a McDonald's or a gas station parking lot. While the room itself was clean and adequate, TV access was limited to networks, religious broadcasts and commercial product promotions. All in all, my assessment above, as Okay, is generous.

We've stayed at a number of motels on this trip, and this place was very good, especially given the price. The room was basic but clean, shower excellent, tv worked fine. Beds were comfortable for us--not saggy, soft, or too firm. Refrigerator had a separate freezer above that worked very well. A very handy reading night light next to the bed. Breakfast typical. A note on the breakfast wall asked people to be polite and aware of others by not wearing pants below the hips. Pool looked good. It was definitely a very good value.

He was friendly, professional, kept the front area looking good and assisted me with the toaster. He's awesome.
