Top Cornell Hotel Reviews

Grand Bear Resort at Starved Rock

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed the weekend and it was a great place for the kiddos."

Postcard Cabins Starved Rock, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

10/10 Excellent

"My boyfriend and I had a great experience staying at your cabin. It was small, but it was just right for a couple's weekend date night. We wanted to share a quick note about the local wildlife as a simple warning for future guests. The raccoons nearby are quite brave and will casually steal food! We were outside with our bonfire set up and ready to make s'mores when a raccoon suddenly climbed right up onto our table and stole our Hershey's chocolates. My boyfriend and I froze, looked at each other, and just laughed about it. Luckily, we had already enjoyed a couple of s'mores, so we weren't too upset. It certainly gave us a great story to tell!"

10/10 Excellent

"Facilities all functional plenty of hot water and hot food no issues we got the room with jacuzzi for a change worked fine plenty of of hot water breakfast was great plenty of of food items to choose from the waffle gridyis on the other side so a lot of people missed the waffles Plenty of bread and omelette with cheese and sausage patty make your own sandwiches Worth the stay! the only issue is Expedia has an issue paying best western don’t know the politics but we had to cancel our reservation and Start over got the same price, that was the only issue."

Surrey Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great place to stay at the price point. The room was quiet. Never heard neighbors or traffic. Conveniently located near grocery, gas, and restaurants. Yes, the room and facility could use some rehab. But the value is great."

Rock Island Inn & Suites Streator IL

8/10 Good

"Our stay was made more pleasant than we could have imagined. The room was very clean comfortable and well maintained. Bee & Mike were so kind and compassionate .. that’s rare today. The pool looked lovely as we watched other guests utilize it. The free breakfast and fresh hot coffee was perfectly refreshing just what we needed. 4.5 of my stars to the overall experience"
