I paid $56 for this room ( room 133 ) with a group rate pre-taxes & fees. Given the price range, I say this is an ok place to stay.
Asked for a non-smoking room and indeed the air was free of any odor.
The Chicago skyline wall art was a surprise plus and really added a lot to the room.
Heat & AC unit looks brand new and worked well keeping the room warm.
Bathroom could use an update and could have been a little cleaner, but again $56 / night. Some mildew spots on shower curtain bottom and under the non-slip mat. Shower worked well and water was warm. Bathroom has a heat lamp. Provided soap and shampoo worked well. The shampoo was a name brand I recognized - a surprise.
Bed sheets were clean and free of any holes. Bedspread had a moderate stain but I just stayed away from the bedspread and didn't use it.
Lighting is ok but could be brighter, especially by the desk.
On breakfast, I only had some coffee from the breakfast bar. Coffee had a very good taste.
Staff member at the desk was friendly on the phone when I asked for non-smoking before arrival and was great to work with checking in and out. Lobby has an updated wood-look tile floor and a quartz / granite front desk countertop.
Considering the $56 price tag and convenient location if you've got something to do in Taylorville, I'd say this is an ok place to stay. The people on the staff at this hotel are doing a pretty good job given the limited resources $56 / night gives them to work with.
Thank you for...
   Read moreWent in right after we paid to check out the cleanliness of the room and it didnt seem too bad at first. We went to see a movie and we were gone for abt 2 hours. We came back and there was glass all over the floor which definitely wasnt there before because we walked around without shoes on so we wouldve stepped on it. We were confused so we looked around to see where it came from and when we opened a drawer there was some random stuff and two vape boxes one fresh not opened and one opened ( we had a non-smoking room) neither me nor my bf have ever smoked... matter of fact im allergic to it myself so he cant smoke anyways. So either somebody was let into our room... (creepy asf) or they set something up while we were gone to try and get more money out of us because we paid cash and the manager seemed pretty upset we didnt use a card probably bc he knew he couldnt just suck money out of our accounts. So safe to say it felt pretty sketchy... we didnt even stay the...

Our room was falling apart and hadn't been cleaned...maybe ever. Dirty sticky kitchenet. Rusty fridge with a loud dying compressor. Moldy grounds in the coffee maker. Every handle, door, drawer was scummy and sticky.
Stains on the bedding, patchy walls, non-working fixtures, dead flies.
We got in super late last night. It was dimly lit. We went straight to bed. I woke up itching and almost threw up while inspecting the room this morning. I hope I don't have bed bugs.
Booking was messed up we had to pay twice and luckily lost the rest of our days that we booked.
I'd rather sleep in the soy patch across the road.
I have...
