SIUC Orientation

This was an overnight trip. Overall, I would say the hotel and experience was good. I know this is a pet friendly hotel but one guest had two VERY large size dogs. Not sure if there's a limit or the hotel has certain rooms for pets.

No one was at the libby for early check out. I even called the lobby while in the lobby, along with anoth guest. No one answered. The pool was dirty, even moldy steps and what looked like a diaper in it. And the bathroom is extremely small. The welcoming staff was nice very nice though!

Our room was very clean, shower was amazing. Coffee downstairs was really good. Our air conditioning was not great, couldn't really get our room as cool as we'd like. The elevator smelled like burning electrical, told the staff, they were unconcerned! Other than that everything was good.

Love the wood floors instead of carpet in most hotels. The room smelled fresh like a natural scent instead of chemical cleaners like other hotels. That’s a big deal to me and the HVAC unit is quiet and works well. I would always suggest updating the bathroom a little bit.

The pool was really cold and had a lot of stuff floating, wasn’t very clear. Bathroom in the room was visibly dirty and had a mildew odor - we could tell it was barely, if at all, wiped down. Neither plug ins in the lamp worked. The faucet in the sink area was extremely powerful and sprayed us and everywhere around the sink when we turned it on. Hidden $20 pet fee *per night* upon check in. Overall very unimpressed with the stay for the price we payed.
