We didn't sleep here, but ate at the Bistro Cafe on Saturday afternoon, during a break from Eagle Weekend activities at Starved Rock State Park. We were looking for something other than fast food. The cafe was quiet, nicely decorated, and although more upscale than our 3 adolescent/teen sons are used to, not so posh that it put them off.... More

After a hike in Starved Rock, stop at the Bistro cafe inside the Willows Hotel. We were greeted by the friendly and cheerful Rona! The half panini was hot cheesy and delightful! The soup was warm and tasty! Very well appointed room - you could've been in Paris! Stop by and unwind!!

The Lodge at the park would only accept a minimum 2 night stay and the park’s other accommodations, Starved Rock Inn,... More

Let me preface this by saying that we were the only people staying here. All the other rooms were vacant. All seemed pretty good until I looked at my credit card statement to see they charged me an extra $60.50. I inquired about it and after waiting 4 days to get a response, I was told we were supposed to... More
