It was decent until I discovered a cockroach on the bed. The front staff was apologetic and management gave me a $30 discount, so at least they tried to make up for it.

Stay with Dog

Quick overnight with our dog. Charged for the dog($65) extra - but front desk staff kindly offered us a first floor room - which made it so much easier with our dog. We also had a late bite at the bar- and it was solid. Very close to I-80- appreciated the convenient location. Older property but clean.

Stayed here a few times before and never had any issues until this stay. TV kept cutting off and the tub was dirty. On a good note the actual room was clean and bed was comfy. Got in my room super late so I wasn’t able to get ahold of front desk but I did inform clerk at check out.

Will only stay here from now on in Joliet

Seems like it was recently remodeled and well worth the time. Of all the hotels I have stayed at in this area, always for a stop between trips, THIS is the best hotel in the area. Service was great, it was clean, breakfast was good, and not so 'deep' into the area. Will absolutely stay here again.
