The staff is very pleasant and helpful. Rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. Breakfast was yummy like as it was the 1st time may 22nd staying there. Definitely will stay again and recommend it if going to the Zoo or to Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater which we did both and all of us had an amazing time!
Hotel was very nice, but did give off kind of an eerie feeling at times with how much space is not currently in use. Property is beginning to show signs of aging, but that’s to be expected. Nicest hotel available in the Decatur, IL area. The AC unit in the room could use some work though.
Needs some serious updating in the rooms! Bathrooms need some deep cleaning. Black gunk in the sink drains, shower pressure poor. Rooms located on interior walls by active hallways at 1 am so a good restful night did NOT happen. Special events(music) happening in one part of the facility should not be so loud that it is heard at the complete opposite side of the conference center. Overall, I saw other bad reviews but thought it couldn’t be THAT bad so I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and give it a chance. Sorry I did.
My sister & i stayed there after our Bret Michaels concert @ the Devon Lakeshore and we were very pleased with the staff, cleanliness & breakfast. Everyone was very pleasant & helpful especially the lady who made breakfast the morning of our check out on may 23rd. We will definitely be going back for concerts (esp in june)
This property was once the top of the line. It is pretty dated now and needs some tlc but is still very obvious how beautiful it once was. It is still a very nice place to stay and I will stay there again.
