Because Illinois and how's that working out? Anyway, it's a nice rest area with a fantastic 90 degree turn at the entrance that really slows down the traffic. The restroom was clean and well lit.

No Frills: You don't get breakfast, the walls are paper-thin, and the building is pretty old. The fan in the restroom is really loud, too. Other notes: Beds are firm. This is also the only hotel, motel, or AirBnB in town.
