The bathroom in our room could have been cleaned better, but this was a HUGE upgrade to the nightmare of a room we had originally booked at the La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham in O'Fallon, Illinois and was supposed to stay at, so we were much more pleased with our stay and experience.

They told us to "just call back if they keep being loud and we'll remind them it's quiet time again". Half the time they wouldn't even answer the phone, the times they did they just apologized but did nothing to resolve it. We had to be up at 5am and got very little sleep. Not to mention the lady that was running the breakfast service was rude and aggressive. I would definitely NOT recommend this hotel.

First there is the name which give you a hint of the vibe, an old school reimagined as a boutique hotel. The school themed decor follows through from the minute you walk in the door to your room. The designers thoughtfully left many elements of the school and incorporated them perfectly. The rooms are spacious and well thought out too. Beds are comfortable bathrooms are well lit (hard to find in hotels) and every space is exceptionally clean. I stayed on a Monday so the restaurant was not open but no worries there are a number of good restaurant choices within a 2 block walk. The only issue is a minor one that wouldn't matter if you don't work out when traveling. The workout room only has one elliptical machine, 2 treadmills and a few weights. The elliptical was a brand I was not familiar with and I wasn't able to get it going to use. The space is small but large enough to add a bike or another elliptical. I would love to find more hotels like this when traveling for work, it would make it more fun. I would definately stay here if I come through again. I can see where this would be a fun place to host an event.

Eww. I don't know how to describe just how disgusting the place is. I came to Illinois from…read moreCalifornia to visit my mother. I called around and the weekly rates for motels here ran between 150-170. I thought the name of this place was too cute. So I picked it. I wish I hadn't picked it. Let me tell you. On the edge of the tub was an inch of crust. There were plants of some kind in the bed. Ants crawling everywhere. The phone books have an inch of dust on them. Then I became violently ill and had diarrhea and fever for three days. I am sure the room is toxic. I asked the obese maid to clean the bathroom, but then felt bad because she was obviously too physically disabled to do so. She left the crust on the tub and only cleaned the shit off the toilet bowl. They haven't offered me clean towels once. They haven't offered to take out the trash. I took it out this morning on my own.

When I needed to find a new care giver I was concerned since she had been at the humane society twice, so I wanted the best environment I could find for her. Williamsburg was one place recommended to me. When I visited, I felt very good about the facility and people. The facility was very clean, well organized and staffed. Everyone seemed genuinely interested in the animals under their care. My dog certainly seemed to enjoy her stays (and for a time she was there more than she was at home). She came to know the staff and was always happy to see them. The staff knew her and always treated her so nicely. She was always happy to arrive and just as happy when I came home. While I no longer travel as much, Williamsburg remains the place I trust to take care of my dog. She always seems happy to see the staff and I've been very happy with the service I have received.

I took my Great Pyrenees in for a summer trim, but the outcome was not what I requested…read more Instead of a trim, her coat was shaved very short. The cut is uneven, particularly around her face, which appears choppy and not well blended. Her paws were also not cleaned up to the standard I expected. The areas of greatest concern are her armpit and belly, which were shaved extremely close. Her skin appeared irritated afterward, and there is a small area on her belly that looks consistent with a minor nick from the blade. I spoke with management to address these concerns and am currently requesting a refund based on the result and condition of the grooming. Overall, I am not satisfied with the service provided. If you have a long-haired or double-coated breed, I recommend clearly confirming grooming expectations in advance.
