The good: The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The common areas such as the lobby, pool and breakfast room were very clean and in great condition. The beds were comfortable. We arrived around 10pm after travelling most of the day and were very tired. As we walked in our room, there were several issues that were in need of... More

This was our fourth stay at this hotel. It's one of our family's favorite hotels. We stay in a double queen suite. Every time it's been clean, spacious and very comfortable. Plenty of towels and outlets for our family. The man at the front desk has greeted us each year with such a welcoming manner. Lots of restaurants within walking... More

This was a very enjoyable stay! I was here to visit friends & go to a concert at the Performance Center for my birthday! This was my first stay at a Country Inn, but it won't be my last. Clean rooms, nice size bathroom which is important to me & great service! Loved the continental breakfast as well!

I am a Club Carlson member and I have stayed at five Country Inn & Suites and so far this one in Effingham, Illinois is the best.

Stayed here for an overnight business trip. Really no complaints. Room was clean and adequate. No real "extras". The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was less than stellar but it was edible.

Stayed here after a concert at the Effingham Performing Arts Center on Friday, Feb. 24. It is a great location for that purpose. Check was smooth and easy, the hotel is very clean, and the breakfast was nice as well. Really enjoyed the cookies and hot chocolate (also coffee) any time you want it. The fire place is a nice...

Effingham is the half-way point between our home and the grandparents home. We've stayed here three times. It would have been four, but the first time we came through town (in the middle of the night), there was a convention in the area and all the area hotels were pretty much full. I stopped by the Holiday Inn Express first... More

Easy access off freeway. Personnel were so helpful at placing us in a room on a busy holiday travel week. Workout room and pool looked great, but we didn't have time to use. Rooms are spacious with coffee, mini-fridge, great beds and linens. Robust breakfast in the morning. One must eat at the nearby Firefly Grill...excellent non-fast food place is... More
