For the years that my daughter attended NIU (2008- Present) my wife and I often stayed at the Dekalb Best Western. Thanks to Vicky Torres, and her staff, (especially Scott) each visit was pleasurable. From the intense moments of graduations, rushing to banquets, or just there relaxing before one of our daughters basketball games, this Inn handled our needs while... More

Went there mid-March when it was very cold. Room was warm and very clean. Nice little set up with a small table and two seats. Bathroom clean and shower bar is of the preferred curved variety.

Mattresses seemed like they had not been replaced in a while and did not make for a good nights sleep. The trains coming by at all hours of... More

I have stayed here several times while visiting DeKalb. It is within walking distance of the NIU campus, the rooms are clean and decent-sized, and our kids love the pool. The beds are very comfortable, and the hotel staff are all very pleasant and helpful. We will continue staying here when visiting DeKalb/NIU!
