Property needs some updates and improvements.
Actually I did not end up staying. After entering the room I noticed several bugs crawling on the ceiling and walls. I looked into bathroom and notice a capsule of some sort on the floor. Also spots appearing that someone with poor aim used the toilet. Thus, using my power of deduction, led me to the conclusion the room had not been cleaned very well. On the plus side though, the desk clerk on duty was very polite and pleasant.

I took one look at the room and immediately turned in my keys and went looking for another hotel. There were stains on the floor and furniture. The decor was from the 1970s. A strong cigarette smoke permeated everything, even though it was a non-smoking room. My wife laughed out loud about the PVC pipe that was being used as a curtain rod. However, to be fair, the staff was courteous and promptly refunded my money.

Warm shower never got hot
The bed was comfy and the room clean. Our water was reversed so at first we thought we didnt have hot water to shower. It eventually got warm but was never hot. You can still get smoking rooms here which seems rare in Illinois.

The front desk gentleman was polite and accommodating to switching the room twice. I asked for a non-smoking room and got a smoking room. There’s a sign on the door that says it’s smoking. The second room was a disaster. The sheets were clearly stained (not even going to guess with what). The final room was the best of the three but there is an electrical panel in the bathroom with a hole in the bathroom door.

The hotel was recently renovated and clean. Appliances were new too! Since the breakfast area also was being renovated, there was no breakfast service. A bit disappointed. The front was very friendly. Overall, it was excellent for 2 nights of stay.

We pull into the hotel and my 18-year-old daughter told me she wasn’t staying there because it look like the Bates Motel. We got our car keys went to the room and they didn’t work went back to the front office got new car keys went to the room and they didn’t work so the front office person had to let us in our room and told us he would call maintenance to come fix the door for us. So we went out to dinner came back her car keys still didn’t work so we go to the front desk the guy tells me oh we called maintenance but he can’t be here till tomorrow morning. I told him that doesn’t do us any good because we’re checking out in the morning. Come to find out three other rooms that were with our group the car keys didn’t work either. Very old musty smell cobwebs all over cold very cold. I went to Walmart and bought two small candles to burn so it would cover up the smell of the most so we could sleep. As were getting ready to go to bed I go to deadbolt the door and the deadbolt doesn’t work and by this time I was too tired from driving and messing with this motel take care. Granted it was cheap but not cheap enough to put up with all that we had to put up with. Even free would’ve been too much. and then the front desk was ran by a teenager who really didn’t know what he was doing. I will not stay there again!!!!

If you're looking to save money this place is great! My room was clean... the bed was super comfy... hot shower. I must mention this is a worn-out old hotel though that's slowly getting remodeled. The furniture all has marks and scratches... my bed comforter had a couple cigarette burn holes and minor stains on the sheets. Outside my room the premises was a bit dingy... I didn't notice it as much checking in at night, but in the morning it had a trailer park vibe going on. Mattresses laying outside and overflowing trashcans. Also, there wasn't any free Wi-Fi. Anyway, all I needed was a place to sleep and shower so this place worked out great. Perfect for truckers and those like myself traveling for work.

No smoke detectors in the room, the right side of the bed had no power and no working lamp, couldn’t make coffee in the morning because the pot had no drip piece, AC didn’t work-was so hot all night. It’s too high of a price for the quality. Should be $45...

We recently took the detectors due to upgrading. We were not notified about the outlet situation which are sorry for. And the A/C is set on a cycle when the room hits a certain temp it turns off and when it raises it kicks back. Sorry for Inconvenience

No thrills, just a good cold place to sleep
The first night our room was so cold we had to sleep with pants, shirt and a jacket. the heater ran non-stop for 3 days, the 4th morning we woke to no hot water, so we had to move to another room, the condition of that room was so much better, smaller but everything worked. We would stay in that hotel again, but not in the winter!! The people at the desk were friendly, we requested no room service, so we just took our towels to the front desk when we wanted clean ones.

Fairly dumpy, but only place available
It was a very basic motel, leaning toward dumpy--could have used a fair amount of renovation. The a/c was impossible to reach to even see the knobs, the refrigerator in the room would periodically make a horrible high-pitched screeching noise. I would not recommend walking on the carpet without sandals on, the blankets had cigarette burns on them and who knows what else. But in this tiny town it was the only motel with any rooms available and we were in town to visit my husband's mother who lives in an assisted living place here so we needed to spend a few nights. The owner was nice though and there were two cute cats who live on the property. It served the purpose as a place to sleep for a few nights, but I wouldn't really recommend it.

Not At All What They Advertise it to be...
My husband & I had business in Flora. I realize that this is a small town but the MOTEL, not a hotel, was not how it is portrayed on some websites. This is a 1950's style motor lodge. Not a multi-story building like they have it portrayed on other sites. It is NOT a non-smoking motel either, unless you consider blasting a room with a citrus odor killer because a smoker stayed there before you. There is NOT a restaurant on-site, nor a Golf-Course, for that matter. When we arrived, we were completely flabbergasted at the "Inn" infront of us. After about 2 hours, we were finally granted a penalty-free cancellation, because we informed the booking agency the the place was grossly misrepresented on their website.
