This Best Western is one of the nicest. Friendly staff, nice breakfast and clean rooms. Good location as near 55 and 80. Close to mall, gas stations and restaurants. Very large kitchen area with ability to visit with family. Entrance also has ample seating.
Let’s start with what I liked: the room, and hotel in general, was clean, peace and quiet at night, good value for money, good choice of breakfast daily & friendly staff. Our room also had a desk, microwave, minibar, hair dryer; complimentary shampoo, conditioner and soap; housekeeping every 2 days. What I didn’t like: There are no shelves in the bathroom so I’m constantly coming out of the bathroom to get what I’ve forgotten to take with me. The only available space is the towel rack and the toilet tank lid. The towel rack is right above the toilet bowl so you HAVE to close the toilet cover whenever you flush and then when you open it you got to make sure your towel doesn’t touch the toilet cover! I hope the management looks into moving the towel rack and installing shelves since the bathroom is quite spacious without the sink and any shelves inside to take up space. Check in was a breeze even though we arrived quite late at night. We had to cut our trip to Illinois short as well but there was no fuss or penalties for that and we really appreciate it. If you’re looking at several properties in the Joliet/Plainfield area, I would recommend you to stay here!
Hotel Management decided the best time to test the Fire Alarm would be before 8am. So, it went off twice before 8am and then continuously from 8:05am to 8:25 am. After contacting the front desk to confirm that it was 'just a test' and not a real emergency, I was told that the company hired to perform the test didn't know how to turn off the alarm. So, what would be your confidence that Hotel Management would be able to protect guests during a real emergency? Never again.
The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was quiet and clean. The perfect spot to commute from easy access to interstate. This was our first time in Illinois and the hotel and staff helped to make it a good experience. Will definitely stay again next time we are in town.
We booked this hotel for our wedding. We stayed for 2 nights, our rehearsal and our wedding night. Both nights we got in quite late so when there was an issue with the room, we decided to just deal with it rather than attempt to remedy it. Our first night, there was about a 2” cockroach on the floor of the bathroom. The sheets were musky, the pillowcases felt crunchy (I wish I was kidding) and overall, the room was less clean than you'd want. On the second day we asked the hotel to clean the room and provide new sheets/towels for us so when we returned everything would be cleaned. We came back to the room around 2am and the room was not cleaned, no clean sheets or towels to be found. At checkout I was asked how the room was, we said it was a bad experience and we will not be returning. The receptionist did not ask ”What happened?” or ”What can we do to make it right?” Instead, he said nothing, and we went on with our day. To put it in other words, this place has no business running a hotel and I would never stay here, nor recommend this hotel to anyone. Bonus: Their ****** is not worth it either, I would go elsewhere if you're planning to stop by for that purpose.
Zero out of zero would never recommend to visit this hotel when I got in my room it was a terrible smell. It was a little bit cold so I turned on the heater. The heater smelled like it was burning so I shut it off and then I got hot so I turned on the AC thinking maybe it might be different And all it was doing was lingering a very moldy smell, and when I went to go look at the AC, there was black marks along the lining of the AC. When I went to go check out the following morning the front desk lady who always works mornings was very rude extremely rude. Wouldn’t even allow me to say anything and asked if I smoked in the room. I told her no which I wouldn’t even have time to because I woke up late and left my doctors appointment which is why I was out there , so I hurried up and pack my belongings and she went to check the room so I can get my deposit back told me there was a lot of smoke in the room I said maybe it’s from your AC unit because it smells wouldn’t even allow me to finish speaking I have asthma I can’t even smoke. And on top of it she said that she’s been having numerous complaints about it smelling like **** in there and she’s been hearing it for days. I stayed one night and I checked in roughly around 6:00 PM left came back right my belongs in around 10 PM extremely rude staff, not accommodating whatsoever. There was a huge red stain in the middle of the room. I found a used feminine product behind the bed. I had to change the lightbulb from the top of the bathroom sink and put it in the lamp in order to see in the room would never recommend. Extremely rude lady every time I visit she tells me I’m not allowed to come back and this time I’ve just had enough this by far was the worse room I’ve been in and was completely discussed and bc I do not have a car I had no option but to stay till the following mornjng. Never will I visit again. Someone needs to check her or fire her for her attitude and accusations. It’s very very extremely rude to accuse someone of smoking the other day there when I wasn’t even there then cut me off when I try to say I stayed one night.
