This is far and away the best hotel in town. We have tried to save money by staying elsewhere and always end up back here. The people are very nice. The rooms are large, clean, and comfortable. They continue to have issues with the attached restaurant, particularly for breakfast. The restaurants they've had in the space just can't seem to... More

I used my IHG rewards points but was charged two different rates and after using my card at only this location; my bank froze my card because of some fraudulent activity. I chose this location because they listed an on site restaurant, the restaurant was down for repairs. When I spoke to "Jane" she implied that I was either a... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you experienced a less than perfect stay at our hotel. An error occured upon your arrival in which billing was not setup properly for your awards stay. This was an honest mistake and not an attempt to "rip-off" a guest. Your credit card was not charged and, in fact, points... More

I stopped late without a reservation, the front desk was welcoming, was very helpful and very accommodating. My room was clean and very comfortable. When checking out the bill was not under the door but again, the front desk could not have been more helpful in my check out. A very good experience for a weary traveller. Will definitely stay...

The front desk staff was very friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. We stayed in a whirlpool room, which was a bit of a disappointment. The whirlpool isn't in the bathroom; it is in the room about ten feet from the bed and five feet from the TV. One person couldn't watch TV while the other was in... More

Overall I was impressed with this Holiday Inn in Carbondale, IL. The hotel was built in 2006 making it one of the newer hotels in the area. The lobby is spacious with high ceilings and marble floors. Check-in was quick and easy. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. The beds were quite comfortable with soft bedding and nice pillows.... More

We stayed with 5 other guys on a BBQ tour through some states for 3 days. The Hotel seems to be very new and so we had nothing to complain. The staff was very friendly, the rooms were well cleaned and the beds were comfortable. Will stay this year again.

While the room was nice and smelled "clean" but not "perfumed", the bed VERY comfortable and the desk staff friendly and helpful, I was disappointed by several aspects of our stay. The room was very noisy, Every person passing in the hall talking in more than a whisper was heard. The toilets flushed using a vacuum system and every time... More

I stayed at this hotel a few weeks ago with my husband who had a meeting at SIU. The hotel was good, as to be expected from Holiday Inn. The front desk staff was exceptional. Very professional and attentive to our needs. The location is not the best unless you have a car. Their are shopping centers within a few... More

About the only drawbacks I can come up with are...adjoining rooms are nice when booking two rooms (we always do, required with +3 children)...and did they miss the memo about complimentary breakfast now being the standard expectation? Who really wants to go sit in a sub-par hotel restaurant for a mediocre buffet, slow service, and pay for beverages/fruit?
