Walker's Bluff Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Property was great, check in was smooth and everything went well. The location is out in the middle of nowhere and very quiet! It was perfect to celebrate with my friends and family"

"a"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Marion, IL

10/10 Excellent

"The check in process was amazing. I expect a little southern hospitality in this part of the state, but they went above and beyond making sure that we picked the right rooms. There was a band "hinder" playing a concert in te let next to the hotel, which was actually really cool, but she made sure to ask us if that would bother us and even knew when they would stop. The room was very clean and taken care of, even though the features are dated. It lacks a thermostat and honestly has an older HVAC system. This means that the room was the perfect temperature, but there was a bit of dampness in the air. It would help to upgrade. But it didn't bother my sleeping and the bed was comfortable enough. Every staff member said "Hello" and did what they could to help. Freah cookies in the lobby were great. The breakfast was only so, so. I think that there is room for improvement here. Fresher food would be the place that I would start. Krispy Kreme is on your doorstep, make a deal. Also, in my humble opinion taking a look at how the coffee is made would not hurt, it might be a water filter that is needed. Not sure there. Over all, I would stay here again. If I were the corporate company or ownership, I would make sure that this general manager has everything that they need to make this property better. It's a true example of doing the best you can with what you have."
