Pros:

The beds were AMAZING. However, the bathroom sink was clogged and I saw an area on the wall where they sprayed for mold--unless it was a weird stain. Staff was very friendly, breakfast was amazing except for the cold eggs.

Pros:

We had never stayed here before but found it clean and convenient. The price was very very reasonable. The young lady who checked us in was cheerful, friendly, and most helpful. On our next trip to Plainfield we will definitely stay here.

Pros:

Staff was friendly and everything looked clean and comfortable. Bathroom shower is a little dated and had some water damage on the ceiling. The room smelled musty but not a major issue for us. Would stay there again.

Pros:

There was mold in my room. Wallpaper was stapled in one area and looked to be falling off in about 4 other places. Everything looked old, rusted, or water damaged in my room.

Pros:

Met 3 other couples for IL vs IU game and though this hotel was 45min from stadium it was very nice. Easy check in, clean room, decent continental breakfast and for once in a long time, we actually had a good night sleep in a hotel, bed was comfy
