Drury Inn & Suites Marion

8/10 Good

"friendly and helpful staff. Great food with many options to choose from. Great hot tub"

Baymont by Wyndham Marion

8/10 Good

"OK"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Marion, IL

10/10 Excellent

"This is an excellent hotel to stay at. Updated, easy parking, staff is very friendly, breakfast is great, will stay at this hotel again."

Riverview Mansion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is an amazing property and unique experience. It is “off the grid” in a sense, but had everything we needed and was clean. Friendly staff and very cool antique decor. Definitely recommend!"

Economy Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and kids stayed for one night at this motel. When we checked in, they realized that they did not have a double bed room ready for us, because they had an unexpected group of people purchase a block of rooms the same night. However, the owner was extremely apologetic and made things right. They quickly cleaned a double bed room for us and ensured there were extra amenities including a coffee maker with supplies and a breakfast basket. Honestly, the room was better than some hotels that I've stayed at before. The room was very clean and had a mini fridge, microwave, and nice mattresses. It seemed like the room had been recently renovated because the flooring, paint, and other details were in excellent condition. We would for sure stay again and recommend! PS - when looking at reviews online for motels/hotels, be sure to use a site that is connected to actual stay. My understanding is that anyone can leave a review on sites like Google, so the reviewer may not have actually stayed at the location."
