We stayed here after finding most other hotels were booked. Not our first choice but we were pleasantly surprised - From the front desk, Connie, to the very large room (king). Slept great and The bed was very comfortable. On another note, the Free internet stinks. Hard to connect and have to reconnect continuosly. Don't miss (uncle) Tom's restaurant out... More

We stayed at this hotel on 12/15/12. A few weeks ago, we stopped in to make a special request for the location of the room. This request was not noted upon check in. We spent about 30 minutes at check in due to going to several rooms until one of them was satisfactory. One example was that the toilet paper... More

This place was ok. Clean and comfortable when we were working at the university for the week. Room wasn't really ventilated all that well, but I guess it's what you pay for. I've stayed in better places but I've also stayed in much, much worse! Staff were friendly & the breakfast was good!

This hotel was not worth the $89.99/night I was charged. I chose this location because of its proximity to Lincoln College and I was attending Friends and Family Weekend. Never again!!! The continental breakfast was good, the ice machine worked great and my dirty room was spacious......these were the only things I enjoyed about my stay. The rooms do not... More

I stayed for a a couple nights last week, my rooms very cleaned, nice set,, the pool needs some work, but the water was warm enough.. the breakfast was fine, it could use some, boiled eggs, and some fruit will be nice.

This property has the potential to be a really nice hotel and maybe it was years ago when it was a Best Western. But the owners are not doing even basic maintenance. The room had the worst carpet I've seen in a hotel -- it was wavy from buckling and you could feel the under-layment pad was so old it... More

My family and I recently stayed at your hotel and found our stay to be very disappointing as always has been the case. We arrived at your hotel on Wed, 24 Aug and departed on Sun, 26 Aug 12 and will not be back to your hotel again with the conditions that we found. NASTY HOTEL! I DO NOT RECOMMEND... More

Dirty! Peeling wallpaper, old icky carpet, stains on both bedspreads that might have been chocolate, food on the wall, red blotches on the bath mat that looked like it hadn't been washed... Ewww! This is not a Best Western and when we called ahead for reservations while on the road (we got the address and phone number off our GPS)... More

Having stayed at two ABVI places before, I was wary of the brand, but with no reservation and it being 8 p.m. after leaving Chicago, we needed to stop for the night. The Econo Lodge next door was almost 90 dollars, so we went to the ABVI. The rate for two was $67 and the young lady at the desk... More

Me and two buddies went up to see a high school football game and got three rooms at this place. Nasty rooms. My room had shag carpeting over existing carpeting with lumps underneath. Terrible breakfast buffet. We went across the street and ate at Denny's. All three of us made our own reservations and all three of us received completely... More
