I just went to the Inn over the weekend and absolutely loved it! All employees that we talked to are very helpful and extremely nice! The rooms are very clean and nice. The pool and hot tub are refreshing. We also went to the Back Door Lounge, we had EXCELLENT service from Josh! I recommend you go when he is... More

We love the lodge at Starved Rock. It is a great place to stay and enjoy the walking trails of this beautiful park. The pool was perfect for the kids to swim and unwind, the gift shops are great and restaurant is tasty. We ordered room pizza and apps and ate in the room, it was convenient and quick! The... More

The Starved Rock Lodge was full. This property is owned by the same group and convenient to book through the same reservations desk. It's about a 5 minute drive north of Starved Rock State Park, and easy to find. The Starved Rock Inn reminds one of a motel of the 60s. The rooms are typical of that type of accommodation:... More

We stayed at the Starved Rock Inn because the Starved Rock Lodge was over twice the money! It is not far from the park--only a 5 minute drive, so not being right in the park was not a big deal. The room was clean and had everything we needed, but it was no frills. It was very quiet. The staff... More

The room was impeccably clean and adorably furnished. Our night was quiet. The distance to the state park was convenient. But what inspired me to write this was the fact that after we accidentally left the lights on in our car and our battery died, the staff at the Inn went out of their way to get us going again....

This place is a dump and DANGEROUS. The way they distribute keys tells me just about anybody has keys to your room. Avoid this hotel if you value safety. Also the staff was rude, the room was "rustic filthy" and the bathroom was gross.

I chose the Inn over the main lodge because it was $20 cheaper and the cheapest rate in the area for the night I was there. I was going for the purpose of hiking at Starved Rock and just needed a place to sleep close by. It was a only a 5 minute drive to Starved Rock Park which was... More

Note that my ratings are based on comparisons to other budget hotels. With the low cost of the rooms here, all we hoped was that the room would be clean and the bed comfortable. Check and check. On top of that, the staff were very friendly, the room had satellite TV and a coffee maker, and the gift shop/winery on... More

We stayed at the Starved Rock Inn mainly because of the price. It is a drive into town & Starved Rock but not a big deal. When we arrived, although our key was supposed to be accessible to us, it was not. We arrived after the gift shop had closed so had to go to Starved Rock Park hotel to... More
