I guess the cheaper rooms are the way to go here. We exhibited at the art fair on the riverfront, but decided to stay at the Radisson for the lower rate and to be away from the downtown. What a surprise to find a beautiful lobby filled with unusual furniture to match the castle look of the outside of the hotel!
We were quite happy with our $89/night room, #225. It was big enough for two people, the high-speed Internet worked great each time we used it, and the showerhead in our bathroom rotated, so I could have bullet-like pressure, while my friend got the soft, steady spray she prefers.
We had no bugs, no dust, no dirty glasses. The stained-glass windows actually opened, so you could get fresh air from outside. Plenty of storage space, even in the bathroom, where they thoughtfully put a shelf UNDER the vanity counter, so we could both have all our toiletries within reach.
The staff was very friendly all the way through our stay. The restaurant was above the average hotel fare, and the portions were huge. We did very well at the sale, too. I have no complaints about our visit to Peoria. I hope we get back in next year!
