    This building is beautiful, but slightly dated. We had great customer service the whole time and I…read morewas amazed at the allergy rooms - these are perfect for people like me who struggle during travel. A lot of cleaner type services were covered with the allergy label- filtered shower water, hepa air purifier, non scented sheets, no pets allowed (huge one for me!)... I was so thankful. Our room was great! It was spacious and they upgraded us to a view of the river / lit up bridge that my kids loved! There was reception with two free drinks and snacks, they seemed to be low on the chips next to the salsa. There wasn't a lot of allergy friendly food, but I was able to get a drink! We had great service when we forgot a few things late at night and they were very prompt and helpful. The lobby is absolutely beautiful and a fantastic place to catch up with family or play a game. There is sooo much mingle room. The fountains were a little dirty and everything in general seemed to need a tune up. At one point the elevator door wasn't working but it was promptly fixed. The bed in our room was comfy, though th allergy liner kept coming loose. The workout room was pretty nice with towels and a great variety of different machines and free weights. Definitely above par from your normal moderate hotel. My two main concerns were breakfast and shower soaps. As someone with allergies and skin issues I usually bring all my own items for shower, but occasionally my husband will use the on the wall soaps... the allergy friendly room was marketed as no harsh smells, but that definitely wasn't true for the soaps on the wall! Holy cow, it was pungent, and even when hubs walked around after it was wafting off him and permeating the bathroom. It was super disappointing and for someone with breathing issues; it was overpowering. Second... i called ahead of our trip to talk to the person that runs breakfast or to have an allergy menu sent and was told they don't have one and that I would be fine and there were lots of options... When we stayed with Drury they had an allergy menu online and a QR code posted by the food. For a hotel marketing to allergen folks, to not have an allergen menu available is insane. When my very hungry 15m old came down to breakfast with me we had to ask someone restocking the buffet about safe food and she told us to stand in the 5-7 person line to ask about food... so holding my impatient and hungry baby, we waited for the man to cook 5-7 omelettes, waffles, etc. we got up to the front and explained our situation (dairy, peanut, soy, almond allergies... anaphylactic ones) and he was listing off various things we couldn't have and seemed completely out of touch with how serious this was. Wouldn't want you to try that... that cough have peanuts... I could make you an omelette in this pan after I clean it out (as there is actively cheese being dumped into it). No. Way. He don't consult labels at all, didn't reference any supporting information, just seemed to be going from memory. Completely unacceptable. Grabbed some Cheerios, fruit and bacon (he said it was safe) for baby and ate somewhere else. She reacted to the bacon from cross contamination. My baby has a rash on her face is going to be up all night screaming from pain. Before this incident I was thankful and excited for a hotel taking allergies seriously...

    I stayed here in 2017 and I recently just stayed here again. Sadly, this location was not as great…read moreas I recall The location of the hotel is still amazing. It's next to the river so you have a quick access to many places. The area itself is growing and there are a lot of places to eat within a few miles. Also, there is a Tesla charger very close nearby. The parking has improved. When I initially stayed in 2017, it was hard due to construction. However, the construction of the parking has improved and there are a lot of spaces. However, that space is to the convention center which is attached to the main hotel, and a lot in the back. The main front parking is small and it fills up very quickly. I don't know if people who are not hotel stayers are parking here or not. Our room felt very old. There were a lot of stains on the floor, and the couches felt old and semi broken. Happy hour was okay. Last time, they used the breakfast area to serve happy hour snacks but this time...it was a small table. It was a little sad. Overall, I am a fan of Embassy suites. Although this location isn't terrible.... it wasn't amazing as I recall. In the end, I might try a different hotel next time but I would return in hopes that they improve the hotel too.

    Im impressed! I stayed here while attending a union conference after the main hotel sold out, and…read morehonestly, I think I got the better deal! The hotel is quiet, very clean, and well-maintained. My studio room with a kitchenette (see video) was spacious, comfortable, and had everything I needed for my stay. One of the highlights was the complimentary breakfast each morning. There was a nice variety of options, and it was a great way to start the day without having to leave the hotel. The location is also convenient, with plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. When you combine the clean rooms, friendly atmosphere, free breakfast, and reasonable rates, this hotel offers excellent value for the money. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because there's always room for a little improvement, but I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. It definitely exceeded my expectations and turned out to be a hidden gem.

    Amazing. Modern. Spacious. Updated. This place is what I was looking for. I initially booked…read morelodging at a suite hotel a mile away but was so unhappy with the accommodations that I came here instead. Much quieter, friendly, and updated. These rooms are suites with the studio being the smallest. It's great to have a kitchen area (with a dishwasher and mini stove!) and some space to relax besides your hotel bed. The studio has a 3 person couch with ottoman and it just feels "homey". The furniture is not worn and decor is not dated or looking tired. I'm so happy I found this place. The staff is really nice. The amenities are ample: a pool, fitness center, basketball court, free hot breakfast, and lounge area where check in is. Self-parking is free unlike some of the other hotels a mile away. Overall, a nice place for a single person, couple, or a family. I wanted to take off one star because the floors could've been swept a little better but minor compared to the craziness I saw at the first hotel I checked in at-- that place has 3.5 stars on Yelp (how?!?!). This Marriott is leaps and bounds nicer than that so 4 stars wouldn't do this Residence Inn justice so all the stars go to them because relatively speaking, I think this one is the true chain hotel gem.

The place is clean and I saw the breakfast person cleaning, and that girl worked hard! The manager was wonderful and she explained the situation with the elevator not working. We didn't receive a text message till the day after we checked in and we checked in Christmas Eve night at 9 PM and at that point found out the elevator did not work. We had presents to carry and suitcases and would've changed things had we known this ahead of time. The guy at the front desk said we were notified and it's like no we weren't. It was like we weren't believed. Then come to find out we get a text the next morning saying the elevator is out. We use the app to secure our rooms. So it wasn't like they couldn't have known this and sent me an email. I was recovering from a surgery and my husband had a knee replaced, but we still did the steps to the second floor. It would've just been nice to have known ahead of time. You get five stars because we like the place and we like the cleanliness and the way they come into the pool and remove the dirty towels and check the garbage and again keep everything clean. That is the best. Since you told me, it was the building owner that has to fix the elevator, you should have a little ride up that you post and give it to everyone and then you wouldn't get bad reviews

    Very outdated, dirty and forgotten. . Waited fifteen minutes for someone to show up at desk to…read morecheck me in. She was nice but seemed to have better things to do. After riding the slowest elevator up to the fourth floor stepped out to be met by something out of the shining. Walk into room to be met by a bathroom vanity right by the door. It's weird. Nothing in room plugged in like seriously every lamp unplugged weird right? But then I figured out why. Used hairdryer which caused every outlet to go out. So to use the hairdryer you should know to unplug everything? Don't even get me started on the amount of hair (not mine) on bathroom floor and tub. How this got three stars is beyond me. Maybe the breakfast in am is going to be amazing ?

From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and quick to help with any request-- they even accommodated our group meeting across their two buildings, providing a spacious, comfortable room for us to socialize. The room was cozy and well-appointed, with a convenient in-room coffee maker (perfect for grabbing a quick cup before heading down for breakfast). While the closet and bathroom are on the smaller side, they were perfectly adequate for a weekend stay. The shower had great water pressure--no weak trickle here--and though the shower head sits at about 6ft, as a 6'2" guest I found it just a touch short, but not enough to be an issue. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Amenities are a real highlight. The pool is fantastic: a clever half-indoor, half-outdoor design that, in March, makes the indoor section especially welcoming. Breakfast was excellent, offering biscuits and gravy, made-to-order eggs, a pancake machine, cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, and coffee in both bold and mild roasts. The location is also ideal--just steps from the river and marina, perfect for a scenic walk. One fun detail: don't miss ringing the big bell at the front desk--I couldn't resist! The only minor drawback is that the hot tub is currently out of service, but it's hardly a deal breaker. Overall, a highly recommended spot for a relaxing weekend or group stay. Small bar in lobby, already booked September stay. I saw post about maid service, for short stays you can request daily otherwise it every 3 days and is posted in bathroom.

    the purpose for going was the hot tub that was not working, pool water looks dirty and cloudy…read more the room was horrible. When we walked in it had an odor, room did not look clean. Shower had someone's hair all in it and all over the floor. Fridge was leaking and dirty. Needed a full-length mirror in room. We had to call for a plunger and plunge our own toilet. property had overgrown trees and furniture that was tore and ripped. Both ice machines not working properly with an odor and making loud sounds. would like a voucher or compensation to stay at another time that the hot tub is working and with a better room

This facility, and specifically the manager, is the worst facility I have ever experienced. In fact, travel is typically so unremarkable, this is the first hotel review I have ever left. When I arrived I needed to use a bathroom and since someone else was checking I went to find the facilities. Turns out, the lobby bathroom was locked. After waiting about 5 minutes, I decided to just wait until I got to my room. Approx. 10 minutes later, the couple who was checking in when I arrived was finally processed. When asked if there was something wrong with the bathroom, it turned out there was nothing wrong. He just doesn't like leaving it unlocked and doesn't bother to put up a note saying "See desk for key" or something. So when I point out how incredibly worthless he is as hotel manager he starts babbling illegibly, walks away from the desk and doesn't give me the room I had already paid for. I should have known better than to book at a Super 8 and should have known it was going to be a disaster when I pulled in and it was obvious the place had not been mowed in at least a couple weeks and there was trash and debris all over the parking lot. Sleep in your car if this is the only hotel remaining in Peoria.
