Quality Inn & Suites Marion

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful"

Black Ridge Cabin LLC

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of our favorite properties that we have ever visited. It was a cottage surrounded by woods with a great outdoor fire pit and chairs. It is on a farm so you have goats and ponies to feed if you wish. the owners are extremely friendly and helpful. It is the most well equipped rental unit that we have ever seen with everything you could possibly mean."

Treehouse w/ Hot Tub near Shawnee National Forest

10/10 Excellent

"Very pretty and peaceful property. The perfect place to get away from the big city fireworks with our easily spooked pup over the July 4 weekend.Plenty of items in the kitchen to easily prepare your own food and comfortable hot tub in the back. The nature trail was an added bonus, especially since we had a dog with us. We had a small hiccup when we arrived but Cody was extremely responsive and helpful and it was resolved quickly."

Economy Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This Inn has been purchased by the current owners about a year ago. They have undertaken extensive remodeling of the room. The room I was in was a suite, freshly painted, new vinyl floors, new linens, remodeled bath with quartz walls in the full bath. The bed was comfortable, room was quiet. The room had a king bed, full couch, sitting chair, and writing desk and chair. The management was extremely friendly and checked me in quickly. Now the negative. It is obvious that the management has concentrated on improving the rooms. I saw staff cleaning the property and attending to rooms. However, they have not had the time or resources to spend a lot of time on the outside. There is obvious rust and decay on the steel frames for the upper walkways. They will need to be cleaned, treated with rust reformer, and painted. The parking lot needs to be patched. And the program owner had sealed the outdoor pool with concrete. All in all, I will definitely stay here again. While the rooms show signs of some aging, they are freshly painted and immaculately clean. That tells you everything you need to know about these owners and their commitment to your stay."
