No turn down service, so unfriendly- 3 fully grown adult roaches on our week stay- We checked out an entire day early because such terrible service & pests on top of it- please do better, we were so excited to be there & left for the live pests so we don’t risk any roaches getting into our clothing items- and no, a refund was not asked for nor offered-

This is probably the best place to stay in Benton, IL, which is only saying a little bit. The room was . . . fine. Kind of shabby and in need of renovation, but basically clean. They actually have a breakfast, and it was . . . okay. The staff seemed to be competent, though we only dealt with them at check-in.

Pleasantly surprised. No frills. But bed was super comfy. Room was impeccably clean with a large TV. It’s directly (very close) next to a truck stop. The trucks were loud. Get a room on the west side of the building if you can.
