"Truth be told…Carlin Villa in Carlinville, Illinois was not our first choice. But trying to stay at the specific places we were looking at on Route 66 proved fruitless. I found Carlin Villa on a lark and was able to book a room without a problem. When reaching out to express that we were on our honeymoon, and if they could do anything special, the owner said, “…we give one room, one bed.” I am not quite sure what she meant by that, but OK.
We arrived on the later side and after spending about 10 miles on a dark road, we discovered that Carlin Villa is, in fact, on Route 66. It just happens to be on one of the iterations that we were not previously aware of, but it made the second choice more palatable.
And the accommodations were better than expected. The room was exceptionally large, especially for a motor lodge and was one of the many rooms that had access from an interior hallway rather than an exterior entrance. There was a large gathering room at the end of the motel lobby with a fireplace and some sofas.
The rooms were a bit “dated” and appeared to need some attention in the bathroom.
But it was definitely a place that was kept in that time capsule of the past and it was clean. Definitely a place to stay and definitely a place when a second choice turns out to be the best choice."
"The bedding is stained and looks like it needs to be tossed out.
The shower appeared as though the lever had been ripped out of the wall and then poorly glued into place.
The staff are kind and truly doing their best with what is available to them.
Management needs to step in and make quite a bit of upgrades and a deep clean."
"The man at the front desk was nice, this was the first time I have ever seen him, but he was friendly. My husband and I work night shift so our sleep schedule is kinda messed up so we were up most of the night and it was quiet even though it was packed no one was loud. Breakfast could have been a little warmer but it was good. The only issue I had was the AC was blasting when we were trying to get our breakfast lol otherwise amazing as always"
