The hotel was excellent hot tub pool were great the parkingbis terrible. Its old and it is not made for tall vehicles. It has no signs telling you which way. Talked to a few people there who agreed.

Peoria Marriott Pere Marquette
Clean room, nice amenities overall solid stay. Main note is it was understaffed and didn't seem overly prepared for large groups of patrons. Event at civic center got out at 11pm and hundred some people were turned away from the bar on a Saturday night.
