We do have extra blankets and pillows for our guests. Sorry we had to call law enforcement as you left a 5 yr old unattended walking the property in the middle of the night unsupervised and you were unreachable. Unfortunately for such cases we can't issue refunds especially if you've already exceeded the max number of guests.

Considering the price point ($102) this place was perfectly fine for one night. Was the welcome warm and friendly? Not really, but it certainly wasn't rude. Things are worn out here and there, but for the most part the place is well cared for. Some would say it is outdated, which is true, but it is also a little nostalgic. It reminded of somewhere I had stayed on family vacation in the late 80's/early 90's. Overall, it was a pretty clean place as well. There was some debris and whatnot behind the beds and nightstand that need to be cleaned, but where it mattered (bed, bathroom), it was clean. Bed was tad firm, but comfortable. The rooms are small and the rooms with two beds are doubles, not queens like some newer hotels would have. Room was also reasonably quiet considering it faced the highway. Things I liked - real bars of soap (not liquid soap dispensers that most hotels have these days), bathroom has an exhaust fan which you don't really see much in new hotels, fridge did not freeze my stuff, HVAC worked well. Would I stay here again? Maybe - depends on what my budget and length of stay would be.

Thanks for your input. We are an older property but we do our job to maintain it well. I'm sorry if the Front Desk didn't make you feel welcomed. Soon we will be undergoing renovations to upgrade our property. I hope you give us a chance then to allow us to provide you with a superior experience.

Quiet and restful environment. Good internet, TV and breakfast. Smaller room - Hardly room to place all baggage without using the floor. Didn't like single switch controlling bathroom fan and light. Comfortable beds. Front desk attendant a little abrupt.

• There was no operational business center. When asking the front office to print something. They don’t even know how to access their own email. So, no printing capability either. • Found food under the couch. (Popcorn, gummy bears, and pretzels.) • Furniture in the room was old, broken, and outdated.

Sir, the business center is right opposite the front desk and is hard to miss. It has a functional printer and a computer. I apologize that the front desk couldn't assist you with this. We'll take your recommendations and improve.

I ask that my 93 year old Mom and me be placed in a quite room . I ask for a handicap room with 2 beds (they do not have any), so I opted for a two bed non handicap room. Please make sure your not placed by pool when you ask for a quite room,. don't count on a fresh breakfast ~ all fruit was past being edible.

I'm so sorry we don't have handicapped rooms with 2 beds. I believe the front desk informed you about this before check-in. Also we don't advertise any handicapped rooms with two beds online. Sorry if you were led to believe so. Hope you give us another chance.

Terrible experience. I checked in after a long days drive in the early morning hours. The hotel was a run down below average hotel. I didn’t mind that because all I wanted was a good nights sleep. The hotel was unable to provide that. The minimum standard that you can expect from a hotel is to get a good nights sleep. Housekeeping was knocking on the door every 30 minutes from the early morning hours until I checked out one hour prior to checkout time. In speaking with management regarding this, they acknowledge, that was completely unacceptable however, saw no problem with me being fully charged for the good nights sleep I was unable to get. I had checked in early in the morning, and explicitly asked the front desk person if I could be undisturbed until I checked out. I was assured that would not be a problem. I would discourage anyone from staying on the property as your stay will not be pleasant and management will do nothing other than say that they understand and really could care less because they already have your money.

I'm sorry you're expectations weren't met. Our records show you checked in at 12:45 am and checked out at 11 am. We also provide DnD signs in the room for guests who do not require housekeeping services. I'm sorry that your demand for a full refund wasn't met with as a housekeeper knocking on your door at 10 am to offer towels doesn't qualify. Hope you get well soon.

The BW Marion Illinois was a very nice hotel. Everything not only looked clean, but also smelled clean! All the staff was friendly and upbeat. The breakfast was tasty and well maintained. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

The room was clean and everything worked. The staff exceeded my expectations. The breakfast choices were adequate but could have been better. The location felt safe and was convenient. I didn't use the pool or hot tub but they both looked clean and inviting. Overall I would recommend this hotel to a friend.
