La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Peru Starved Rock St Park

6/10 Okay

"The hotel was fine. Room was OK. Only negative was the pool was at 75° after we researched it. It should at least been 80° in my children could not comfortably be in the actual pool. We were in the hot tub which was over 100° the entire day so fix the pool. You may have more swimmers."

Days Inn by Wyndham Oglesby/ Starved Rock

6/10 Okay

"In all was a good experience. A family run the place so even tho we had no disturb sing and check out was a certain day we were waken up 1st time to ask for garbage and 2nd they open the door because their paperwork showed checking out that day which it was not.The back door entrance would not lock and when checked out female at front to check out no customer service she is jut there."

Grand Bear Resort at Starved Rock

2/10 Terrible

"Very disappointed with our stay at Grand Bear Resort. For the price we paid, the resort was poorly maintained and full of issues that should have been addressed long ago. The in-room fireplace did not work because the resort shuts them off starting April 1st, but this was never disclosed when booking. The whirlpool tub knobs were broken, and the only way to turn the jets on and off was by using the GFI breaker on the outlet. Which I felt was very unsafe. The bathtub also drained extremely slow when showering the bathtub would fill up with water. One of the biggest safety concerns was the third-floor window in our room opening completely with no protection to prevent someone from falling out. That felt incredibly unsafe, especially for families with children. On top of that, the blinds would not close fully, so we had to hang a towel over the window for privacy. Cleanliness and upkeep were clearly lacking. There were Hot Cheetos sitting on the elevator floor for over 24 hours before anyone cleaned them up. The ice cream from Tree Top Cafe tasted stale, and the maintenance number listed in the room actually connected to a Budget Blinds store instead of resort staff. The lazy river was tiny, the hot tub rules saying “no one under 16” were never enforced and it was constantly full of kids, and the “free” miniature golf was basically unusable because there were never any clubs available — staff said people never returned them. The Internet barely worked so no tv"

Quality Inn Peru near Starved Rock State Park

8/10 Good

"Check in was quick and simple. The guy at the desk was helpful. The property looked clean. The property is older and decor was out dated, but it was well kept and clean. We didn't use the pool, but it looked nice and clean. The elevator was clean and working. Our room was decent. It was very well cleaned and the bed and pillows were comfortable. The shower was great. The water was hot and had good water pressure. The only complaints about the room were that the sink faucet leaked around the handle when it was on and the tub faucet dripped (but it didn't make noise). Neither complaint effected us, really. It just was in need of repair. The property is close to many restaurants, gas stations, and Walmart which is convenient. We would stay there again if our travels brought us through the area."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Peru - Lasalle Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great, pool and hottub were very nice. Breakfast was fantastic. My only issue with this stay. Was not holiday inns fault. This room was listed as a room with a private hot tub. I talked to the staff at the hotel. They havent had hot tubs in the rooms in about 4 years. Expedia keeps listing it as a private hotel tub."

Quality Inn & Suites Mendota near I-39

2/10 Terrible

"The stay was good and breakfast was delicious but had a bad experience the next morning due to housekeeping walking in my room without knocking on the door first and they saw us walk in our room after having breakfast at 9am. 20 minutes later they walk right in my room after me getting out the shower, No knock at the door nothing. I recommend a refund and training for all housekeeping. Never in my life had I stayed at a hotel wanting to have my privacy and someone walking in my room, especially when checkout is at 11am. Terrible experience!!"

Super 8 by Wyndham Peru Starved Rock State Park

4/10 Poor

"One night stay for 2 adults, 4 kids with two rooms. One room had broken furniture and mold in the bathroom. The other had missing lamp shades, the texture in the bathroom was peeling away from the ceiling along with mold as well. We ended up leaving early and can’t comment on the breakfast. Strongly needs attention throughout the building. If you’re looking for a place to take a quick sleep, it’ll suffice."
