Top Gaylord Wildlife Area Hotel Reviews

Sleep Inn & Suites Peoria North

8/10 Good

"This property is under restoration. Therefore there is construction work and debris. They are actively working to fix issues on the property. Helpful to the MAX."

Four Points By Sheraton Peoria

10/10 Excellent

"When I arrived at the property there were 6 people in line. They were all yelling at the employee about being overbooked. The staff eventually had employees clean dirty rooms which took roughly 3 hours after 8pm for us to finally get checked in and get a room. We went to the room it smelled of mildew and was outdated but not bad. I went swimming and the pool area was completely out of towels and there were so many disgusting things in the pool. I will probably never stay here again due to the initial check in process."

Par-A-Dice Hotel and Casino

8/10 Good

"This hotel is good for the location-even if you don't gamble- it is near both highways to get into Peoria or Washington/Metamora/Eureka areas. It is a little tired though and could use some deep cleaning in the rooms. You can tell there are a few upgrades like shower walls, doors and fixtures, but then there is peeling paint and broken tiles. Overall the staff was super friendly and helpful. They have a great steakhouse and bar on the campus area and inside the hotel is a bar open on the weekends which is nice. Plenty of parking even with an event at the hotel. I do like that you have to have your key to gain access to elevator and rooms. I would stay here again if price was right."

Courtyard by Marriott Peoria

8/10 Good

"Great [lace to stay. When in Peoria we will try to stay here again,"
