Property was run down. Had upgrades going on which were inconveniently placed for storage in hallways and entry ways. Room was fairly clean but the shower/bathroom was disgusting. Hair all over . Shower hadnt been cleaned still had a big spot where soap had sat but never got wiped off!

Oh my!
Hotel rooms under renovation, it’s ok but not great. Breakfast was to begin at 6am, 6:10am the door opened but nothing was ready, the guy literally plugged in a skillet on the floor and put sausage links on it while he squatted there cooking them. At that point we got up and walked out. We picked this place to stay being it was right off the interstate, had connecting rooms (we needed 2 rooms) and had breakfast as we have 5 kids traveling with us. Controlling costs is important to us.

I checked in and went to my room, and the room was clearly occupied by somebody else. So I go back downstairs, and I told the guy working the desk. He was on his phone and barely looked up at me. He was surprised, but he gave me another room. I go to that room and there’s a “do not disturb” sign hanging on the door. I’m not going to enter a room and get shot so I went back downstairs and told the guy, still on his phone. He takes my key and goes up to the room and opens the door. All ok. Housekeeping just forgot to remove the sign. I get settled and want to watch some TV and the remote doesn’t work. So I put some clothes on and go back downstairs and tell the guy who is still on his phone. He comes upstairs with me to check the TV so I propped my door open for safety. He said he’d be back, so I sat on the bed with the door propped open waiting for him to come back. 30 minutes passes. I go back downstairs and he’s sitting behind the desk playing on his phone. I Told him I was waiting for him to come back with another remote. He said his job was the front desk and he was not a maintenance man so I told him to get me another room. This guy was a complete jerk from the minute I walked in. I could barely understand his accent, and had to ask him over and over and over again, to repeat himself. Thankfully, I don’t live in this area. I will never have to go back to this dump with the worst customer service I’ve ever had. The guy just could not be bothered to do his job. ZERO stars.

Good enough for the orice
It was good enough for the price I paid. It looked like they were getting ready to replace carpet with plank flooring which is nice. The place needs a lot of detail work

While the bed was comfortable the room furnishings were tired. Glass and mirrors were streaked and not cleaned properly. Towels were clean but needed replacement. Coffee only available in lobby at 8:30 AM. On arrival in the room, were was a cockroach on the interior side of the door, but did not see any others. Hotel options in Benton IL are limited, may be better off staying in 20 miles away in Mt. Vernon for a few dollars more.
