Never seen any staff in person. Room was supposed to be a queen bed it was a full size. Whole in the wall. Electrical wires hanging out of the wall. Floors were dirty. Curtain wasn’t hung properly. Not worth the money !

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There are no real people at the facility. I had to check in speaking to someone over a computer screen and not in this country. Then i went into my room and realized i did not have a remote for my tv and again because there is not an actual person on the property they could not help me. I had no tv for the entire time. He said he would print me a room key for a different room so i can get a remote and then said there were no rooms available. It was a Monday night and the place was dead. I asked to switch rooms and again he couldn’t do that. I was to wait until someone comes in at 7am but no one was ever at that front desk other than the computer screen. When i checked out at 10am there was still no one there. You can’t run a motel from another country and give any kind of customer service. There was also no shampoo or soap in my room and again no person there to give me any. It was ridiculous

This place was a complete sxit hole ! The room was dirty and had one light at the entrance as well as it took them 8 hours to make the decision with several callls and a final prompting from the maintenance man to move me .. the tv didn’t work at all and the desk staff was non existent. It’s a computer screen you talk to someone who isn’t even in Illinois… the surrounding area was sketchy as c well seeing what appeared to be drug transactions in the parking lot .. there were cars that came and left without getting out of their vehicles .. I was so disappointed I left without being able to get a refund on my last two days and rented a room at the Holiday Inn

Met with a Kiosk to check in. Dirty baseboards with hair plastered to wall in bathroom. Reeked of weed when returning that evening. Next morning, husband was looking for more coffee and videoed a snake slithering under ice maker. Never again

I really don’t know how to begin to explain how pitiful this hotel is. It said it was $55 on hotels.com but when we went to book it, it was 150+ tax, which came to about $172. When we came into the hotel, there was about three cars there and was not well lit. When we came into the hotel lobby, there was no one there to greet us and no one working the desk. There was a kiosk and when you walked up to it, a person came on and asked you to pay an additional $100 your card for a room deposit. The first room they gave us room number 114 was like the size of a closet. It was filthy, there was a nasty bathroom. The water was running and it smelled like sewer. A little tiny bed with one pillow one light worked in the whole room. The TV didn’t work. It was just really pathetic. I went back to the kiosk and told the man that we couldn’t accept this room and he told me that he needed to speak to the manager and they gave us another room. We would’ve left then if it hadn’t been for homecoming and Carbondale, there was no rooms available anywhere and it was late. They offered us another room, which was much cleaner two beds, but the bathroom water still ran and smelled. The TV did not work at least there were lights. I told him man at the kiosk and he said he would send a maintenance person over to fix it. I checked back with him in about an hour and he said that something had come up and they’d be there soon. They never came. This place really needs to be condemned.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Was only served breakfast one of the three mornings we were there. The breakfast only had stale cereal, milk, and bread. The room was covered with stains and streaks. The underneath of the bed was disgusting, the bathroom curtain rod was covered in rust. The parking lot is disgusting, covered in glass and trash. Atleast the bed sheets were fresh and clean, plus the A/C worked! I saw one worker the whole entire stay, which was the house cleaning. They have no on site staff, except a kiosk with 24/7 employees that are on the other side of the world. I will not stay again, and do not suggest anyone else should
