"This is our second stay at Pine Manor, once in one of the larger homes with our extended family and this time in the carriage house. Both stays were perfect. The accommodations are exception quality and the location idea for our days at Southern Illinois University and the area."

We had a corner spacious room close to the pool. The pool was huge and beautiful with large jacuzzi! The nearby winery would have been wonderful but it was closed. We had a lovely dinner at The Flame.

Hey the pool was open and the fitness room was open that was nice for a change it's funny how everybody can sit around and eat breakfast together but they can't go in a pool where there are 20 feet apart or Fitness room where there is usually only one person in there at a time

Absolutely perfect. Quick one night stay. Couldn’t ask for a better overall experience. From the cleanliness, prompt and courteous front desk check-in, clean, quiet, comfortable room with very large big screen TV, fast internet, single cup coffee maker, good quiet heater/AC unit. Lots of stores and places to eat nearby. Would definitely stay here again.

This has become our go-to overnight stop between Atlanta and Kansas City with the family. The hotel is newly renovated and safe, and the staff is always super-friendly. The kids love the indoor pool and the hubby loves the workout room. The beds/pillows are comfy, the room is clean, and the bathrooms include all the basics. The included breakfast has everything you could want…a selection of hot items and a make-your-own waffle station…plus oatmeal, fruit, yogurts, cereals, etc. A selection of...

Geri is the best. I left something in the room 203 and she offered to drop it off before coming to work at a friend that works at pin oaks bar and motel. Thanks so much 😀we only come for four days during hunting season. We live six hours away. She a wonderful employee. 👍

A little hidden gem! When we first arrived my husband and I were a little taken back by the looks and tried to cancel our reservation! We were unable to and were both exhausted so we thought we would talk to the staff! SO friendly. They let us look at our room before we even checked in. It was not fancy, but immaculate clean! We were traveling and just wanted a clean, quiet place to stay for the night! And that’s exactly what we got!

Our stay at Fairfield Inn was a quick but pleasant stay. During our visit to Marion we were under the weather with a cold. Our housekeeper must have noticed our vitamin C and medicine to help because she (Desiree) even left us an extra box of Kleenex. As small a gesture as it was, it was a very sweet one! I would recommend anyone staying in the area to stay here.
They also have a nice coffee/tea bar and it was stocked with decaffeinated products. That was another pleasant thing to cap off a...
