馬克吐溫飯店 - 皮奥利亞

During the first couple days of the COVID outbreak I got stuck trying to make my way home. After improvising a plan to drive home I marked a night needed to stay in Peoria. With very little certainty of anything in the world, I booked a room here. The place was almost a total ghost town due to travel restrictions, but that didn’t tarnish my stay here. In fact, the building, my room, and a jill-of-all-trades lady named Chrissy saved my bacon. Comfy and clean the spot was my perfect hideout. With limited options for food and things, Chrissy went over and above to help me find hospitality. She made the stay excellent and I’ll always remember the kindness she treated me with when the rest of the world seemed to be so unkind.

Rooms were very clean. Bathroom had hardly any counter space. Heating in room was inconsistent and tv remote did not work the channels. Restaraunt was 5 star and staff was super friendly

Everything exceed expectations from start to finish. Staff was great and very helpful. Room was very comfortable and clean.

Great value. Nicely remodeled. Clean and comfortable. Great hot breakfast with made to order omelets.

Cons: I felt the description of the “new and improved” & “contemporary” room was misleading. The room felt very old, carpet looked old, bathroom very basic, pillows were small, no curtains, and seems like they just threw on an old bed cover & mattress topper. The room had no information about hotel or its amenities or places to dine, how/who to call for things, or even just a pen to write on the “How’d we do” form. Tho the view was beautiful, the sun piercing thru the blinds wasn’t the way I wanted to wake and the shower had very little pressure- luckily I didn’t need to wash my hair. I really hate to be a complainer, and I’m very thankful for an affordable, and clean, place to lay my head but I just felt very mislead. The website (via mobile at least) did not provide any information either except stock photos and how to book a room. Pros! Affordable. Clean (tho the carpet looked ancient). The breakfast was amazing!! If I would have known it’d be so good, I would have came down sooner for the omelettes (but no way to know that since no info was left). Easy to find and the staff was very kind and welcoming.

I wanted so much to like this hotel. First impressions were great. Check in was easy. Lobby had a lot of old world character. Hopped the elevator to our room on the 8th floor. The room was clean but very worn and dated. The carpeting was sagging and looked to be decades old. The bathroom was clean but very old/dated as well. Beds were adequate but again the mattresses appeared old as did the furniture. The desk chair was updated. Not at all what I would expect from the online description and pictures. Breakfast was fantastic though, super friendly service and great food. I so wanted to like this hotel, I picked it since it was not a chain and wanted to support local business. It has such potential but requires a great deal of upgrades, particularly in the rooms.

One night stay. Good restaurant and bad bed.

Great stay! Booked at the last moment, because everything I do is just in time. They had the room ready, I checked in, good breakfast in the restaurant, etc. Will return if Google results me more money magic 😁

Great location, and while my room was quite small, it was a nice place to stay.

Amazing service! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was amazing! Omelet bar is my favorite! The room wasn't the cleanest. We found a piece of food under the bed and a hanger left on the door in the bathroom. Other than that, it was awesome!
