Hotel berhampiran Methodist College, Peoria

We had the most unpleasant experience of staying at this IHG property on our annual migration south. We originally booked at a Hilton property that was a little out of our way because it had an onsite restaurant and was ”pet friendly”. We changed our mind when we looked on the IHG website and saw that the property was on our route, had an onsite restaurant and was ”pet friendly”. Now, to be fair, neither the Hilton nor the IHG property was pet friendly as they but charge $75.00 for one pet for one night but that is a different story. After a long drive our tired and hungry little band checked in to the IHG property only to learn that the restaurant is closed on Sunday and Monday. It was Monday so our primary reason for choosing this hotel evaporated. Note, the closure is not because of some disease raging through Peoria, war or insurrection. It is the hotel's policy. Note even more, the hotel website neglects to inform travelers that the restaurant is not open on Sundays and Mondays. We looked before we booked and after we discovered it was closed when arrived. The friendly people at the front desk stated that many other travelers complained about this. Apparently management did not get the message. Just ell people you have a sometimes restaurant. Next, I have been in a few hotels that have no or poor hot water. This is the first that has no cold water. Butkus, nada. And not just us. Everyone. All the water is nicely heated. Worse, the front desk apparently had no way to summon maintenance to fix the issue. We survived but it was not a comfortable or worthwhile stay. There was never an apology, no offer of rebate, etc. What we did get was a later charge of $25.00 with neither explanation nor any discernable reason. This hotel has issues and travelers should take note.

We stayed here for 5 nights in August 2024. The hotel is well located near good highways, restaurants and a shopping center in what seemed a safe area. The physical facility is very nice with a sofa, table, and chairs: clean with good amenities like an indoor pool with a whirlpool, and a workout room' neither of which we used. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The suites have lots of space; it was clean and had everything one would expect. One highlight was a good shower with good water flow. Negatives were I could never get the safe open (requests for fixing were unsuccessful) and the magnetic key which loses its use easily. The light on the phone blinked most of the time, and no one could remedy this. The room was quiet, but the facility seemed to have few clients. They had the broadest range of foods available I've seen although many were not all that healthy. I admit I am not a fan of the free breakfasts that many hotels have. A high quality coffee and juice would resonate with me. Check in and out was efficient, and all the workers were friendly.

Stayed here on a cross-country road trip for work. Great place to stay for one night after a bad experience at another hotel in the area. Rooms could potentially use a renovation, but they were incredibly clean and well decorated. Breakfast area was modern and spacious, hotel staff was friendly and courteous. Nice pizza joint across the way along with a fuel station and sporting goods spot close by.

It was pleasant & peaceful stay.

Quiet and clean, friendly staff. Rooms are clean, ok view, easy to access the parking lot and building. I will be back again when I travel up that way. A lot of channels on TV unlike other hotels I have stayed in

The hotel is very clean, comfortable and well-kept. The front desk clerk was warm and welcoming; she checked us in quickly. The room was extremely quiet and very comfortable; the bed was especially comfortable ensuring a good night’s sleep. We enjoyed the popcorn in the lobby as a late night snack. The Bistro was open late for food, as well. Tom, the morning clerk, was also friendly and efficient. Thank you.

Staff member : Jakob (Front desk) - Jakob made my stay quick , comfortable and secure. He was very professional with a light hearted spirit that made the long day feel like tonight I came to the proper place for rest. This season can be hard on many; but for his kindness and compassion towards myself and others staying, I must say he makes a woman feel safe. That is a feeling only a few can say they experience when staying alone. Jakob always kept an observant eye on the grounds , maintained the standards of presentation of the property (collecting bottles and garbage). Yet the action that mattered the most was making sure a woman staying alone at night remained safe. He is a 5 star employee and a true asset to the business ! Next time I visit I’ll make sure to ask “How has Jakob been ? :)” Happy Holidays, move with light and love . Sincerely , Kelsea P
