Top Buckner Hotel Reviews

Drury Inn & Suites Marion

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great about this hotel from the staff to the rooms. Pool was great. We will be back!"

Best Western Marion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable. Great amenities."

Hampton Inn Carbondale

8/10 Good

"Better than average chain hotel stay for the price range."

Comfort Inn & Suites Marion I-57

8/10 Good

"Stay was great, however the elevator was out and that was rough. Would’ve been nice if they sent out like a blast email or something to the people who were staying at the time. Which I understand is entirely out of their control. Breakfast was great, plenty of options. Pool and hot tub was also really nice!"

Comfort Inn & Suites Carbondale University Area

8/10 Good

"I saw a lot of bad reviews about this location and I didn't experience any of them. Staff was helpful, room was clean, bed was comfy. It wasn't a five star hotel, nor does it deserve lower than 3. It's older, and worn in some areas. I'd rate between a 3 and 4. Definitely could use remodeling."

Best Western Saluki Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great overnight stay"

Super 8 by Wyndham Marion

10/10 Excellent

"La ubicación, limpieza y atención del personal, facilidad para estacionarse."

Quality Inn & Suites Marion

10/10 Excellent

"I've stayed at other LaQuinta hotels & this was, by far, the best one! It was bright, cheery, and clean. Loved the location. It was a short walk (or bike ride) to the beach! It was on the 'good' side of the highway (meaning we did NOT have to cross the busy highway to get to the beach). I highly recommend this hotel."

Pinckeyville Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"was fine only needed to sleep breakfast wasn't great"
