Top Effingham County Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn Effingham North

8/10 Good

"the lady who checked me in was really nice and the room was mostly clean but it had an odd smell. overall i would probably stay again"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Effingham by IHG

8/10 Good

"This motel was conveniently located near the interstate with a few food options nearby. The rooms were clean. We especially like the no smoking, no pets policy due to our allergies. Breakfast was excellent. The pool was a bit cold for our liking but everything else was fine for an overnight stay."

Ramada by Wyndham Effingham

10/10 Excellent

"It is a modest hotel with helpful staff, easily accessible handicapped parking, and surprisingly good scrambled eggs :)"

The Redbud Cottage--Beach & Quiet. Lake Sara Waterfront & Wood Fires.

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our long weekend trip with our family was great! The house is very comfortable and has just about everything you might need. The view of the lake, availability of fire wood for camp fires, and kayaks and canoe for enjoying the lake were awesome! Beautiful sunrises and loved seeing lots of nature and wildlife right from the yard. Everything about our visit was pleasant and we hope to go back sometime. Communication from the host was great! Thanks for a great weekend of calm, peace and memories."

Cobblestone Inn & Suites - Altamont

10/10 Excellent

"What a gem! This hotel was only slightly farther down the road than the hotelopolis at the Effingham exit and I’m so glad I took the road less traveled! Everything was wonderful, so clean, great breakfast, friendly people and I could just jump right back on the highway to continue my journey in the morning."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Effingham, IL

8/10 Good

"We really like the option of a separate living area (the suite). It was clean and all that we needed for our one night stay. Check in staff was very courteous."

Comfort Suites Effingham Central

8/10 Good

"We wished the clock worked on the night stand. We couldn't get it set. The carpet by the h/vac unit was wet, probably from condensation. Other than that, it was great."

Best Western Delta Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Receptionist did an excellent job at check in. Was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Don't usually see that these days. Swimming pool was a little cold and was not able to handle that. Could have had some laundry facilities on the property and that would raise the level of the facility. I will always stay there every time I vome to visit my daughter in Charleston"

Baymont by Wyndham Effingham

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect service. Clean! Great value and excellent place to stop while traveling."
