Old Towne Motel

We stayed at this motel just last night. Both pros and cons. If I could leave 2.5 stars, I would. The check-in was not long, and the attendant was helpful. The air was heavy with air freshener. My paraplegic husband was able to wheel into the room and alongside his bed with no problem. The room smelled musty, but it was roomy. The decor is very out of date. One of the beds had a dead fly and other debris between the sheets, and the sheets were very worn out. But the other bed looked clean and in good condition. We did sleep comfortably in it. The curtains were black-out, so the early sun didn't wake us up. Also, the room was fairly sound-proof; and even though our room had a patio door, the outside noise was blocked out. The bathroom looked clean, and the water was always hot when we needed it to be. But again, the decor was from the 70's. Maybe in five years it will be back in style. No breakfast at this place. Just coffee. Plenty of parking space. One thing to note: the patio door to our room was unlocked when we arrived, which made the room accessible to non-guests. This place could be really good if they remodeled and got rid of the heavy air-freshener.

Stayed here since we arrived to our destination earlier than planned. . and needed a place for the night. Knowing a few years ago it had been extremely run down. Took a chance and stopped in. Discovered a new owner who has bee working diligently to improve it. We prefer American owned and this gentlemen told me he was originally from India, but first came to Illinois then here five years ago. He really seemed to be proud of what he had done, so decided to give it a try. Great decision! Rooms freshly painted, new, comfortable beds and brand new windows. Beautiful bathrooms. Price of $84.00! No breakfast, though coffee in the office. easy parking, quiet, country surroundings. Will definitely stay here again when in the area. Also right next to a supper club that has decreased their menu items (though still enough) and prices are a bit high for the area.
