AmericInn by Wyndham Peoria
Everything was fine except the pool & hot tub were closed for repairs which really disappointed our granddaughter. The plans were that she would come over & use the pool with Grandma & Grandpa while we were visiting.

Room was clean and the bed comfortable. The pool was like fresh sewage.

Don’t clean rooms and had to ask for towels the second day? They play a lot with the rates and availability

Four Points By Sheraton Peoria
The hotel itself was nice overall, but our room had a damp/musty smell. The parking garage is quite challenging as the ceiling is very low, and the ramp to get to upper levels is quite small. The staff, however, was outstanding.
