Best Inns of America - Carbondale

illinois
8 Nov 2008

I stayed at this place on October 17, 2008. The first room they gave me was suppose to be non-smoking, but when I walked in the smoke smell was overwhelming. Needless to say, I changed rooms, but it was not much better. The room was dirty, and I had to pick between the two full size beds as to which... more

This hotel was booked in a block by a group of friends in Carbondale for Homecoming weekend. The rate was $89 per night which was a little less than what other hotels in the area were asking. I was lucky and did not end up staying here as my friends husband did not come with her so we shared her... more

Hampton Inn Carbondale

We staid at the Hampton for Homecoming weekend from Friday through Sunday. The staff was friendly but not always at the desk when needed. I waited for at least 15 + minutes to check in at around 6:30pm because the front desk person was off doing something else. I called him on my cell phone to find out where he... more

Believe the bad reviews! This property is way past its prime and the management doesn't care. Rooms are dirty, drywall patches everywhere, big spots on the carpet, cigarette burns on the doors and linens, sagging mattresss....every negative comment that you've read on this page is true. AVOID!! more

My husband and I were attending Family Weekend at SIU in Carbondale. We booked Thursday-Sunday for us and my sister and her family. We arrived on Thursday (a day early to surprise our son) and boy we were the ones surprised. The minute we opened the door the stench about knocked you over. I made my husband leave the door... more

I travel to Carbondale once a year for business, and I've stayed at the Hampton in Carbondale the past three years. I am obviously very satisfied with the hotel. My most recent stay, at the beginning of September 2008, lived up to my previous expectations. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the staff is attentive and pleasant. And the... more

Devil's Kitchen Cabins

I saw their website and thought that this would be a nice play to stay while we are on our annual hunting trip. I checked the availability page of their website and found that the dates that I need are available so I tried to set up a reservation through their website. the reservation page didn't work so I contacted... more

This is a homey little spot with a great twist. The food is excellent, presentation good, timing great, the salad bar and daily specials round out a fine menu/service experience. The theme is fun too, "Big Dog" the owner relates on the menu his reasons for the name and there are photos of the only two Spinone in the southern... more

I've stayed at several 'budget' motels in Carbondale while attending the State Fair in DuQuoin. This Super 8 it BY FAR the 'pick of the litter'. Clean and well maintained, if you're looking for a nice shower, clean and comfortable bed and not a lot else, this place does the job. The TV in my room left a lot to... more

Ramada Limited Carbondale

31 Aug 2008

When we arrived in our first room, the door was broken, dresser broken and the bathroom stunk like funk, mold and mildew. We were given another non-smoking room which was across the hallway from the smoking rooms and you still get the second hand smoke from behind closed doors. So they need to have seperate floors for smoking and non-smoking,... more

Written to Americas Best Inns Corporate franchise office... I have just come back from a stay at your inn in Carbondale Illinois. I will never return again to one of your hotels. Despite the poor condition of the room, the fact that the door did not completely close, that the wallpaper was falling off the walls, that the water faucet... more

Since I will be visiting Carbondale a few more times during the next few years, of course I want to find a hotel I can rely on. This is not that hotel! . The room........................ ..nonsmoking...smelled like smoking...tv channel changer wrapped with very worn tape....hole in wall where cable coming in...cigarrette burn on toilet seat....flat bed sheet used as fitted... more

This Holiday Inn is a great property if first impressions are important. But we won't stay here again, because we didn't receive a good value for our $$$ rate. On the plus side, the hotel is very new and shiny. Suffice it to say that from the moment you pull onto the parking lot, you can tell that the franchisee... more

We did not actually stay in the hotel, but my friend had her wedding reception here. The food was good, but they made us turn off the music almost an hour earlier than the contract agreement stated. Ok now..it's a wedding reception...why didn't they worn the people staying in the hotel that this would be going on until 11, or... more

We booked the HI Carbondale Conference Center for a midway point between Memphis and Chicago. After several hours of wandering back roads on the motorcycle in the blazing sun, the HI was a wonderful site on the horizon. The facility is clean and appears very new as other posters have commented. Check in was easy and they quickly recognized me... more

Champions Gate, FL

I attended Southern Illinois University-Carbondale which is just a hop, skip and a jump away from Quatros. This is by far the best pizza place in Southern IL (not to mention they have one of the catchiest jingles which I'm sure I will never forget)! Wednesday nights are $2 pitcher nights, so expect it to be -very- crowded on this... more

This is a very nice hotel in Carbondale. It is definitely the best one that I have stayed at in the area. It is a new hotel, so everything is nice and updated. We stayed in a double queen room. The room was very clean and comfortable. The hotel has a pool, hot tub, and fitness center. The fitness center... more

We had checked in to The Americas Best Inns and afer seeing the nastiest hotel room I have ever tried to check in, we called and this hotel had one king suite left for only $20.00 more.

This was ABSOLUTELY the nastiest hotel I have EVER seen. When we opened the door thee room smell could have knocked you down! We had booked a queen room with coffee maker, hair dryer, iron, & alarm clock.....all we got was a double bed and an ironing board. There were 4 lamps, only one had a bulb, the other 3... more

My family made arrangements to stay at the Hampton while in Carbondale for a funeral. Despite the emotional time for us, we had no problems at the property. Rooms were clean and well-maintained. There were vending machines on the every floor. Despite having a convention and a volley boll team staying there, noise was never an issue. Housekeeping was thorough... more
