Not the best

The room smelled like mildew, there were bugs and other droppings along the wall and in corners. There was a mystery splatter on the bedskirt. The bathroom door wouldn’t lock and the security latch on the main door was broken off. The body wash was empty in the shower. Would not stay again.

It was ok, for what it was

The first room had a strong wet carpet smell, and the second room did as well, just not as strong. The a/c in the room was also producing quite a lot of moisture which made the room feel a tad “muggy,” but also can explain why there was the smell of a wet carpet.

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.
