After leaving a very unpleasant Holiday Inn in Wisconsin we decided to only drive 1/2 way home and stay at this Inn. Much better experience. Told the gentleman about the previous hotel and how loud the elevator was. He kindly gave us the furthest room available. Only reason I could not give it a 5star. Bathroom was not as clean as it should have been. Never want to see someone else hair. Ick Service was very kind. read more

Excellent stay here! I have never been in a Holiday Inn so I didn't know what to expect. Booking was easy online, hotel had what we needed. No hassle for a military discount. They had the option to pick that on the website! Checking in was a breeze. Early check in was also notified to us the day prior and on the drive there. My husband made a call to them asking if we can have two rooms connected and they were very accommodating. They didn't promise but they delivered. Customer service was very satisfactory. We not only were able to have connected rooms for our family, they placed us in a corner of the hotel away from other patrons. That was very thoughtful of them. Rooms were very roomy and clean. Beds were extra comfortable. Bathrooms were very nice. The double Queen room was bigger than our king size room. Free breakfast is served!! Wow I find that a total rarity these days. We didn't get to enjoy a free breakfast since we went to a nearby IHOP but next time we will. My kids LOVED the pool. Excellent size and there was a hot tub. The water temp for both was great! We were able to swim very late (10:00pm) and woke up early to swim again (8:00am). Overall it was a wonderful weekend stay. No hassles and very pleasant. I'm very pleased we picked this hotel rather than any other in Morris, Illinois. It makes me want to research and try Holiday Inn in other cities. read more

For the area, this hotel is about as good as it gets. Not saying it's great by any means but the reception is friendly, rooms are fairly comfortable, and the breakfast is decent (and free). Room decor and bathrooms are nice enough, not the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in but just fine. My biggest complaint about the rooms is climate control - if you have the heat on, it doesn't matter what temperature you set the thermostat because the heat & fan will stay on pretty much all night. Same with air conditioning - not exactly what you want. The cost is usually quite reasonable, parking lot is large, and overall hotel is fairly updated and comfy. HIE is not my favorite brand and properties like this are why I wouldn't want to stay here consistently for work but for an occasional visit it's a good option for most. At least they try hard and that's a big part of the battle. read more

I stayed at this property for one night while visiting family in the area. The room was very clean, big and had a very comfortable bed. I did not use any facilities aside from the morning breakfast. The breakfast was the only area I could see that needed a little improvement. The food seemed like it was a little overcooked and dry but overall it was not bad for a complimentary breakfast. I would definitely stay here again. read more

Check out the breakfast area before you eat. The amount of bugs I've seen in that area I will never trust a hotel breakfast ever again.

If you are a light sleeper and need relatively complete darkness, then don't stay here. I got barely any sleep at this hotel. The windows do not have sun blocking curtains that you are able to close completely. Instead they have two side curtains and one middle sheer white curtain. All night I was kept up by the glaring parking lot lights shining through the room. Now if you sleep easily this is no big deal, but there are a lot of people who cannot fall asleep with any light in their room and it ticks me off that they do not have full curtains to block out the lights. Hotels should cater to everyone, and part of catering to it's guests is having room setups that allow them to sleep. Other than the fact I got zero sleep in this hotel. I thought the staff was friendly and I love that they have candy laying out everywhere :) The breakfast was decent. We came here through a wedding block and most other guests got welcome bags but we didn't. They also didn't inform us about the shuttle to and from the wedding. I wish the front desk was a little more informed, considering it takes forever to get an uber. Overall, not a great experience for me but it has potential to be better if they get curtains and the front desk staff becomes more informed about their wedding parties. read more

I stayed here for work and was working night shift. This is the first time I've ever heard of a hotel putting night shift workers in the same area, it's so simple and effective. I was never bothered while I was sleeping during the day. The room was spotless and they allowed me to set the cleaning schedule. Breakfast was a wide variety of food with friendly staff. Laundry service is available and takes about 24 hours to turn around. This was easily the best stay I've had working nights. I highly recommend this hotel. read more

I just stayed here for one night on a trip to visit family. I'll start out with saying that the hotel itself is clean and the staff seem very nice. I liked the updated lobby and furnishings. Also, the checkin easy. I ended up getting a Junior suite for my stay. This was a king size bed and a couch along with a built-in desk along the wall. Room 326 corner room. The pluses were that the room was decent sized and clean. The bed was very comfortable. But here's what absolutely sucked... the internet. The signal is so weak in my room that I ended up having to bring my laptop out into the main hallway and placing it on the carpet so that I could get a signal. As people entered and exited the elevators, I'm sure they looked at me as if though I was some type of homeless person. The hotel needs to boost the signal big time because in this day and age, it's unacceptable to not have Internet access. I would have given a higher rating had it not been for this. Otherwise, it's a very nice hotel in and I would stay here again. read more

You can tell that whoever works here or owns this place really cares. Room and hotel was clean. There were plenty of spaces to meet and sit with family. They had a really nice FREE breakfast and during the rest of the day/evening they left out FREE fruit, tea, cookies, and even microwave popcorn to take to your room. They sold bottled water for $1 which is unheard of at any other hotel. I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. read more

The next time we come to Morris, this is where we'll book. The hotel was clean, but smelled stale: not uncommon. We met family for breakfast and didn't check out the complimentary meal, but it smelled great and everyone seemed to love it. The lobby was clean, staff was welcoming and the room was large and quiet. Stayed one night, booked through Expedia for $30 more than the quote we got. The front desk associate said that we wouldn't get a credit, so that was odd. We weren't given a receipt, either. A little different than any other hotel I've stayed in. read more

Great spot. Spotlessly clean. Friendly professional staff. Couldn't have been nicer. Very convenient to I-80. Nice quiet spot to rest.

This hotel was easy to get to and the staff was very friendly. I stayed in a suite which was styled modern. The bathroom had marks on the counter and it didn't look like they cleaned the floors. read more

Great place to stay! The staff is very welcoming and professional from the front desk to house keeping. They have a great variety for a continental breakfast and good cookies in the evenings. The rooms are very clean and the beds and pillows are comfortable. They also have good shower heads which are relaxing after a long day. The gym has two treadmills, an elliptical machine, a weight machine with various workouts as well as a bench and dumbbells. I can't compliment the front desk staff enough. read more

My large family was in town for a funeral and the kindness and welcome from the staff at Holiday Inn Express in Morris, Illinois was a very positive experience for all. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The continental breakfast was really good and they kept the hot coffee coming. The entire staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely come here again and recommend others do the same if they are visiting the area. read more

Room is fine. Staff very nice. However, the walls are super thin and I've found nicer toilet paper and tissues in gas station rest stops. For $90+ a night in rural Illinois that's a little bonkers. read more

We have kids in Morris and up here for Christmas again at this motel. I won't repeat the previous post as Check-in lady and the room are absolutely 5 stars. BUT unlike my previous review, the TV channels now are 58 selections of interest to all! The only problem was which to choose! So a peasant update to this motel and zero negatives. Highly recommend for short or long term stays. read more

Very nice hotel. Everything was clean and people were very nice. Breakfast was good and they have a very cool pancake machine!!!! Heidi at the front desk was very nice and helpful read more

Our son was getting married to a girl who lives in Dwight, Illinois and she suggested we check out the Morris, IL Holiday Inn for accommodations. I called HIE and left a message for Jill who I was told handled the wedding packages. She called me back within a day or two and when I told her what we needed, she was amazing. She worked out a discount and even recommended some local places where our son and groomsmen could go to bowl, have a game of laser tag, or race go carts at an indoor track. At the hotel our rooms were very comfortable and the lobby/breakfast area were made very inviting as a place to congregate with complimentary fruit, granola bars, microwave popcorn, candy, and coffee and hot cocoa. The front desk people were super friendly and courteous even when we had to keep changing around the rooms to accommodate the comings and goings of groomsmen and other wedding guests! The breakfast was consistently good. Bagels, English muffins, great cinnamon rolls, biscuits and gravy, sausage, scrambled eggs and omelets, oatmeal, fruit, cereals, yogurt, chocolate milk, coffee, tea and a pancake maker--it was all there. So, if you are ever in the Morris, IL area and need somewhere to stay, this is the place. Besides the deluxe resort where we stayed at Disney World, this is the best hotel experience I've ever had. read more

When I first entered my room it was very humid inside. The mirrors were fogged up and the walls were wet and the carpets damp. I chalked it up to it being very hot outside and not having any air on. When i mentioned it to the front desk the lady who helped me was very nice and I had $60 taken off my bill. Overall the room was clean. The beds were comfortable. There needs to be a fan in the bathroom though. Even with the door open it still fogged up like crazy. The continental breakfast is just ok. A family member said the eggs tasted sour. The price is outrageous though. Should be around $80 for a room...not $110. read more

While attending a wedding in Minooka, IL (I live in upstate NY) the wedding party secured a group of room at the Holiday Inn Express in Morris, IL. GREAT CHOICE. Nice location off of the highway, close to a great little pizza place and mall - and the service was great. Emily at the desk was particularly helpful and help to make the stay very pleasant. Only suggestion - while he continental breakfast is terrific - steer clear it there are cheese omelets...the scrambled eggs are good though. read more

It was okay. I'd stay here again if I was in town. Nothing really special, nothing negative.

This hotel was the worst. The room smelled like smoke and mildew, and I didn't sleep a wink. Why? Because there's a bright ass sign right outside the window that lights up green and blue ALL NIGHT and there's no curtains on the window. What kind of hotel doesn't put curtains on the window???? I'm exhausted and cranky. I do not feel well rested and I'm angry about it. If a sign that burns as bright as the flames in the depths of hell doesn't bother you, then you should be good :) Good thing there's a Starbucks near here, because this bitch needs coffee. read more

Unbelievably poor! Smoke detector starts chirping in the middle of the night. Fortunately I know it's the battery and can take it out. Go to the front desk and tell them what happened and that I need a new battery. (What if I could not do this?) She is not sure if they have one. No I'm sorry sir for being awakened - nothing. She finally finds one - again no if this doesn't fix it come back - nothing! Fortunately it did - because she says we have no other rooms. What was I suppose to do sleep with the smoke detected "alarming" all night?? The kicker to this whole thing - the battery is stamped 08/2011. So it had not been changed in almost 4 years! 4 years!!! This same hotel had a fire just a few weeks ago. Unbelievable! read more

Very clean. Easy on and off the highway and a very friendly staff make this a great place to rest your head at night.

I've stayed in this hotel a couple of times. Each time, the rooms were very clean. I was very glad to get a fridge and a microwave, unlike some other hotels I've stayed in. The wifi is free, but the performance has honestly changed with each room I've stayed in. From what I saw today, the ladies at the front desk were extremely nice and helpful! They checked me in quickly and made sure to add that I should definitely inquire upon them if there were any problems. read more

great hotel that is s clean and family friendly! hardly anyone in the pool too! we stayed in the whirlpool suite with king bed and there is a ton of room. best place to stay in morris! read more

For this type of hotel it's a winner. Many choices at the well stocked breakfast buffet. You didn't see people wandering up and down the breakfast buffet looking discouraged at this hotel. There is something for everyone. Well trained staff really cares about the guests being happy. Comfy beds and bedding, short walk to a couple of places to eat, Chili's and a local Italian place. Dollar General within walking distance too to fill up your room frig. Not in the business district of Morris, but you aren't stranded either. read more

If you smoke this is the place for you. I don't so this has to be the smelliest hotel I have ever stayed in. Stuck here for one night but will make a better choice next time. read more

Pool area filthy! Fecal material on cement around pool from bathroom in pool area ! Pool dirty!

I had a disappointing stay in March 2016. This was due in large part to the conditions of the pool room. When walking into the heavily humid pool area, I was unable to fully see my surroundings. The ground was as slick as could be and there was evidence of mold/mildew on the walls and fixtures. This includes sprinkler heads being rusted out, tiles of drywall missing or loosened in the vestibule area. My partner and I got into the hot tub after turning it on and within a couple of minutes, it became even more difficult to see. So difficult in fact that we were unable to see the exits both leading into the pool area and to the outside. What really concerned us was the fact that there were unattended, younger kids in the pool. The adults appeared to be outside peering through a window. As difficult as it was to see, there is no way that they could possibly supervise. As slick as the floor was, if for some reason my partner and I had to leave the spa to rescue the kids, we would have likely slipped on the floor causing more of an issue. I had stayed at this hotel previously in the same room which is just off the pool area. The day after, I felt almost hungover. I had a not quite with it feeling all day. I had the same feeling in that room the second time. Although I'm unable to determine whether or not this is in relations to the mold/mildew, I highly suspect that it is. These concerns were brought to upper management and they appear to have gone unchecked in the months since. This has been weighing heavily on my mind, so much so that I have stopped in a couple times just to see if any progress has occurred. Sadly from my perspective, it appears to be the same. read more
