Check in was very easy, the young man at the front desk was very friendly. The firepit was a great way to spend time with friends at the end of the day. The room was a little dingy and one of the beds had what appeared to be sand in it.

Not for me but could be fine

I checked in and Ronny at the front desk was helpful and kind. The room was very nostalgic looking but once I saw the potential black mold on the lamp shades and the window that wasn’t fully closed I immediately didn’t want to stay. The bed was also not comfortable and the walls are paper thin. I was there about 20 minutes and went to the desk and said I didn’t want to stay. They did refund me quickly and there was no issue. Sad I couldn’t stay - it’s super cute. Maybe my room was just the dud.

I did not like anything about this property. Staff that we had to call for service to begin. insisted that I need to pay again when I had the receipt in my hands. Beds are awful and super uncomfortable, Web sight said I had a mountain view, I look out the window and saw trees from the ground to the sky. Please show me where in Illinois is there a mountain? I have lived here all my life and do not know of mountains in the flat lands. Web sight said that I had a queen bed, it was a Full size bed. Very upsetting.
