It worked for what I needed.

My flight was late and I was only there for 6 or 7 hours. Breakfast and coffee in the morning was outstanding.

We stayed at Country Inn and Suites last year and knew it was a good place to go to when we returned this year. However, we asked for a non-smoking room and our room defiantly smelled like someone had been smoking in it. Other than that, we had no problems. The breakfast buffet was nice and our room was clean.

Solid quality

We just stayed overnight, coming in late and leaving early. Still, the suite worked very well, since my fiancee awoke during the night and was able to use the living room to read until she was ready to fall back asleep. The price was very reasonable, and the breakfast selection was very good.

Dining tip: Short drive from hotel

There's a great place called The Coffeehouse in downtown Normal that roasts its own beans and has a very good selection of vegetarian dishes, bakery goods, etc. If you're looking for a place to chill out and read, study, or catch up on bills or work, it's one of the best places I've ever found.

Wonderful Stay

The hotel staff was very friendly. The beds/pillows were very comfortable. Fast internet in the business center- free printing. There was a descent variety at breakfast. Free coffee/tea all day long..as well as delicious fresh chocolate chip cookies! Overall, the hotel made my four night stay very comfortable and relaxing. And to top if off the hotel is right next to the airport which made finding it and getting to the airport a breeze, while still a convenient location to get around town.
