Nice clean hotel but a bit pricier than expected
Good spacious clean roons. Nice pool for the kids. The breakfast seemed ok, though i just got coffee. I was a bit surprised at how much it cost for a ranom weekend in Galesburg though.

Just okay
It was just ok. Some aspects were cleaner than I expected but it is very old and pictures are deceiving. It really needs an update. The bed was very firm. The staff was friendly. Probably would not stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were very friendly and helpful. They even taught me how to pronounce the name of the road outside the motel! This motel is certainly a vintage Midcentury marvel outside, but the rooms have been updated. Our room was clean and the beds were comfortable, the room temperature just right. One safety issue: we noticed that the outside building door's lock was broken, but the interior room locks were fine. As other reviewers have noted, the shower was a bit stubborn about working, but it eventually did. There was a certain amount of highway noise; I wouldn't call it excessive, however. We heard no people or pet-noise. Breakfast featured all the usual motel standbys--make-it-yourself waffles, bagels, fruit, yogurt, and the typical meh-tasting scrambled eggs. The breakfast area used to be a restaurant, and is a quaint throwback to the 1970's, with an amusingly excellent sound system. From the motel, it's convenient to drive into Galesburg or Knoxville. We stayed here only one night while attending a family event in a nearby town.
Like a 1970's dollhouse-motel!

The room was unclean, vasoline lid under the edge of the bed, toilet paper not replaced, body wash and conditioned empty, took 10 minutes for anyone to get there to even check us in. Overall was just a bad experience and won't be back.

The location was convenient, the hotel seemed like an "upscale" hotel but was very affordable. The courtyard was inviting and quiet. Breakfast was better than most and the dining room surpassed my expectations. Room was clean and the door didn't slam shut like the doors in every hotel I've ever stayed at.

15 minutes delay on check-in with only one clerk, although she was efficient at it. Carpets throughout the facility need deep cleaning. HVAC system needs attention with high humidity throughout. Nice breakfast area. Wi-Fi does not allow VPN connections.
