Embassy Suites by Hilton E Peoria Riverfront Conf Center

"The staff was the shining star… They were so helpful. Everyone was from the reception we got when we walked in to the team, taking care of breakfast and making omelettes and waffles, to the housekeeping staff through the hallways everyone was exceptionally kind and so sweet. The breakfast was a 10 out of 10, overall our day was pretty terrific. It was pretty close to everything we needed to get to for the weekend. I’m sure we will be back again. The hotel does need some updating the carpets are all old and kind of dingy. And some of the furniture in our room was stained and outdated. But otherwise a very nice day."

Sleep Inn & Suites Peoria North
