I stayed here for a week. Check-in was easy and employees were helpful and friendly. The room was nice and clean. I was surprised that the dishes provided were all dirty and returned to the cabinets. Even the pots and pans were all dirty. I had to run the dish washer upon arrival. Location is convenient and makes all of the Peoria area easily accessible as there is close highway access and War Memorial offers a lot of options (food and shopping). The place was packed but quiet. There were comfortable beds and I slept well. The garbage has to be taken somewhere I could never figure out. There's a sign saying take it to the end of the hall so I walked to the end of 3 hallways on my floor and frustratingly never found it. When I asked the front desk, they said I had to bring it down to the 1st floor. I just left it at the front desk. ??? I feel this place is a little over-priced.

Our one-bedroom suite rocked. It had an open floor plan living room/kitchen so it wasn't claustrophobic. In the living room there was a large LCD television along with a sofabed, coffee table and easy chair. The kitchen had a fullsize fridge, microwave, two-burner stove, and coffee maker. It had decent counter space and storage areas, too. Situated between the kitchen and living room was a large "island" that could be used as a kitchen counter or desk. All plug-ins for a computer were located high on the wall so ya don't have to fumble around on your hands and knees to plug in. I used the wired Internet and it was fast. The separate bedroom had a sit-down vanity area with mirror, large LCD television, closet, and clock radio with iPod plug-in. Only a queen-sized bed though. We saw a couple of propane grills out on the patio and the hotel has a exercise facility too. The hotel is situated off the main road, so it's quiet. There were a couple of restaurants within walking distance. We found that it took less than 15 minutes to get from the hotel to Bradley University/downtown Peoria.

I have stayed at many hotels, but this location is the best in Peoria - the staff is friendly and extremely helpful, the rooms are wonderful and the location is great next to shopping. I don't want to stay anywhere else!
