The rooms are a little small, but comfortable enough. They have mini-fridges, which is good, along with an updated decor, given that this is an older hotel. I had no problems, found the service to be responsive and consistent, and enjoyed the restaurant. My one complaint is that the HVAC unit under the window is LOUD. Given that it's right... More

This hotel was a pleasant surprise. I expected from the name an outdated, small hotel. The lobby that greets the guests is beautiful and warm. There is a fire place, library setting and lots of leather seating. We were given drink vouchers for the on site restaurant. Great idea! We may not have discovered the bar otherwise. The lighting and... More

I stayed here one night this past week. I was in town for work. It is located in downtown Peoria and near the Illinois River. Overall a good place to stay. The lobby/front desk area is clean and has a nice classy feel to it. Front desk staff and the shuttle driver who picked me up from the airport were... More

My husband and I stopped here and were able to get a room without a reservation, the front desk staff was very friendly, efficient and helpful. We had a pleasant room overlooking the river and 74 bridge, comfortable bed with many pillows, perfect for me as I am currently 7 months pregnant. Nice toiletries, including separate shampoo and conditioner, which... More

I stayed at the Mark Twain for 2 nights (April 10 & 11, 2013) for business. The hotel property, lobby, restaurant and bar are very nice. I was given 2 free drink coupons per night to be used at the bar. The male bartender on both nights looked irritated and "put out" because he had too mix free drinks. I... More

First off this is not a big chain hotel witha wealth of amenities, but nice small hotel with some of the friendliest people working there On check in, a nice... More

Heard from a friend that this was a great place to stay and he was right! Very friendly staff that goes out of their way to do whatever they can for you. Free shuttle (within 5 miles of hotel) was especially convenient! Hot breakfast with waffles and omlettes. Wait, I forgot about the 2 free cocktails every night in the... More

We booked the hotel at their website. I deleted the reservation email and had to call the night prior to confirm. Jonathan provided me the confirmation number on the phone and re sent the email immediately. Upon arrival he remembered and greeted us. All staff from him on throughout the stay were helpful and genuinely interested in making all go... More

We were in town for an event at the Civic Center. This hotel was easy to get to, convenient free parking and within walking distance to the civic center. The free breakfast was fabulous as well (wonderful omelet and fresh baked waffles). We were not able to use our free drink coupons as the bar was jammed with people -... More
