When we arrived at the hotel, we were not that impressed. It is not a big hotel, and from the outside it doesn't look like much. The check-in was reminiscent of an old, small, motel, However, the check-in was simple and very pleasant. When we entered the room, we were shocked and amazed at the cleanliness and condition of the room. The beds were extremely comfortable. The bathroom was very clean, and the shower and sink both had great water pressure. Everything worked and nothing was broken. If there was anything that could be improved upon, it would be to add a free hot breakfast. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is traveling thru the Marion, IL area.
