Rolling the dice on an unknown isn't always easy for someone who spends over 100 nights a year in Hilton's and Marriotts. This was a dice roll that paid off. The innkeepers Adam and Karen were super helpful and friendly. Adam even showed me some of their pictures of the building from back in the early 1900's. This place is spotlessly clean and the AC is adjustable in each room. Everything is comfortable and welcoming. This building was a United Brethren church and then a United Methodist Church. There is stained glass and beautiful wood floors. It is an architectural gem. The only detracting is the narrow staircase to get in the building, otherwise a perfect experience. I loved the peaceful and unhurried experience. I will be back!

This place is terrific. So charming, so historical, so Charleston IL. Hostess is a dream.read more

This is a review of Stix Grille, not the hotel itself…read more This was a miss for us. We placed our order, the veggie flatbread for an appetizer, the Wagyu Burger and onion rings, and the $32 Ribeye (medium rare) also with onion rings. Also, I asked for a Triptych beer to be brought out with my burger. Shortly after ordering, we were told they didn't have the ingredients to make the flatbread, so we cancelled the appetizer. When the steak came out, it was far beyond medium rare, with some charring on one end. The burger was passible, but nowhere near the quality I would have expected for something marketed as wagyu. Also, it was not served with chipotle mayo. I had to ask for regular mayo. And my beer never came out until I was done with the burger. Our waiter did an excellent job communicating with us, but the meal was a mess. The steak wasn't worth $32 and was far too thin for them to promise "grilled to your preferred temperature." I let the waiter know we weren't pleased with the steak. No attempt to compensate us was made. This might be a decent place for a quick lunch with a small group, but we don't plan on coming back for dinner.

Upon entering we were greeted by a very friendly lady who was very knowledgable about the area and the hotel. They also had cookies throughout the day = excellent! The rooms were above average in size w/ a couple queen beds, windows that open (a plus as it's rare anymore) and nice flat screen 32 inch TVs. Standard accompaniments in the room w/ free internet - a must anymore. The workout room was a little lacking, but got the job done. An upright and a recumbent bike were present as well as a treadmill. Enough to keep you busy for a bit. The pool area was very nice and located away from the hotel actions which made it nice that people fresh out of the water weren't tracking pool water all over the hotel. The food in the morning was excellent. The sitting area is ample and the food plentiful. They offered hot options including meat, eggs, and cinnamon rolls as well as plenty of fruit, cereal, yogurt and, the show stopper, do it yourself pancakes with what seemed to be a larger, modified easy bake oven! Overall, this was a great place to spend a couple nights. A step up from many of the other hotels in the area and well worth the price of admission with the internet and breakfast. Coffee served all day made it easy to stay alert at all hours and the staff were all exceptionally friendly. This is where we'll be staying when we come to visit in the future.

The size of the room is nice and I had a fun time hanging out in there. It's peaceful and quiet. It was not busy at all, which I quite enjoyed. The staff I interacted with were very kind as well.

The front desk required a $250 CASH deposit, that would be returned upon checkout, because he was a local resident. The deposit requirement was not communicated when he initially went in in person to make the reservation. He paid the deposit and no receipt was offered. His mistake was not asking for one. When he checked out he was only given $150 of his deposit back. Obviously, he was very upset. I called and spoke to the "manager" Courtney. She spoke over me the entire time. I informed her that I would be contacting choice hotels corporate regarding this. It seems there is an issue with theft at this location. PLEASE choose another hotel if you value your possessions!!

Positives * Friendly and Helpful Staff: Every visit, the staff has been exceptional, always welcoming and willing to assist. * Outstanding Free Breakfast: The breakfast is the best you'll find in town, with sausage patties, eggs, a solid variety of cereals and fruit, both apple and orange juice, and delicious waffles, all included in your stay. * Very Clean: The hotel consistently maintains a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property. * Comfortable Beds: The beds are cozy and provide a good night's sleep every time. Negatives * Rooms Need Updating: Unfortunately, the rooms haven't been renovated in quite some time. There aren't enough electrical outlets or USB ports to meet the needs of two guests with devices like watches, phones, and laptops--and my medical equipment needed a plug as well. * Low Toilet Height: Standard room toilets are only 16" high, which can be tough for people with mobility challenges. While I was switched to a handicap-accessible room, the toilet was still 16" high (though it did have grab bars). According to ADA Standards, toilets should be 17"-19" high, with 19" being ideal. Unfortunately, despite many years of good experience, these issues mean we'll probably look elsewhere for accommodations on our next visit.

From the moment I stepped into the room, I was greeted by stained furniture, outdated fixtures, and an overall feeling of neglect. The towels I was given were folded wet and clearly used, which is beyond unacceptable. The complimentary breakfast was equally disappointing, with food that tasted like it had been sitting out since the hotel was last renovated (which appears to be sometime in the 90s). Even the safe in the room was rusty, though ironically that might've been the only thing that gave me a strange sense of comfort--like everything else, it fit the theme. To be fair, the view was absolutely beautiful. It's a shame the rest of the experience couldn't match it. I wouldn't recommend this place unless you're really into nostalgia, enjoy the smell of mildew, and feel most at home surrounded by mystery stains. Otherwise, spend the extra $20 and stay somewhere that takes cleanliness--and basic hospitality--a bit more seriously
