Pleasantly surprised. No frills. But bed was super comfy. Room was impeccably clean with a large TV. It’s directly (very close) next to a truck stop. The trucks were loud. Get a room on the west side of the building if you can.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was not in ideal condition. Especially the bathroom. The overall condition of the room was not BAD but definitely could use improvement. The owner/manager was very helpful and pleasant. The breakfast was satisfactory. I shortened my stay by one day to return home early, even though I could not be refunded for that.

Price was great, for a reason. The facility needs major upgrades. The ceiling in the bathroom was falling in, wallpaper peeling off & overall cleanliness was lacking.

Comfortable Stay with Excellent Amenities Stayed at Country Garden and Suite in Benton, IL and was very impressed. The room was very clean, the bed was super comfortable, and everything looked recently updated.The hot breakfast in the morning was a great touch — fresh and filling. The staff was friendly and check-in was fast and easy. I also liked that the hotel is right off the highway, which made it convenient for my road trip.
