The Mold Motel

rude staff, filthy rooms with mold on the walls and ceilings. AC did not work well. Please do not stay at this place. My recommendation would be to have a wrecking ball take it down and turn it into a parking lot.

Older place but clean and comfortable.

We attended the Street Machine Nationals in DuQuoin IL and usually getting any motel nearby is tough and expensive that weekend. The price was reasonable, the motel is older but the rooms were clean. The people working there were friendly and tried hard to take care of whatever we needed. If you're looking for a high end fancy hotel this won't be it, but if you're happy with a comfortable bed and friendly staff at a reasonable price you'll be happy.
