Top Eastern Illinois University Hotel Reviews

Clarion Pointe Mattoon near University

8/10 Good

"The hotel room was clean and comfortable. The staff helpful & welcoming. We will definitely stay here again when visiting our son at EIU."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Mattoon by IHG

8/10 Good

"Our daughter goes to EIU and we always stay here after trying the Hilton Garden Inn. This probably is the best option for the area. The only issue is that the pool amenities have been out of service the last couple visits and this time the elevator was out. They did notify at time of booking though that this was the case so I asked for a first floor room which they took care of for me. The staff is great and always is. The breakfast is as good as you will get for free breakfast. Good location right off the highway and only a 5-10min drive to EIU."

Quality Inn Arcola

8/10 Good

"If you need a clean room for a night or two, the Inn will work. As soon as you check in, take a quick look at the shampoo/conditioner dispensers to make sure there is enough content; why because they are squeezable bottles, if they are too low; you won't get any shampoo. Simply call down and let them know. The breakfast is listed as Continental, and that is exactly what it is. They do have a waffle maker, the oatmeal is instant; no hot ready made food. As long as you know ahead of time, it's fine. The location is ideal for events at UICU campus if there are big events. Its about 30 minutes from campus."
