Kewanee Motor Lodge

The room service went above and beyond. Bed was made for us every day. All amenities were replaced daily. Best service from a hotel.

I had a bed to sleep in

The staff

No clean up of the room the first day, no replacement of soap or shampoo

Auto didn't work on heat unit. It was either wide open or nothing

Nearby restaurants, grocery stores, and gas stations. Quiet.

The bedskirt had old dried boogers on it. The bathroom door had been patched multiple times with random materials. The toilet was loose and rocked. The TV remote could turn the set on and off and adjust the volume but we could not select a channel option. No wifi connection offered.

Yes, this is an older property, but it appears investments and improvements are being done on an ongoing basis. The room was clean and comfortable. Water pressure in the shower was FANTASTIC! And the water was not hard as it is in so many hotels at all price points. I did, though, miss the vanity having a stopper so as to allow one to fill the sink for washing, shaving, etc. The room also featured a large flat screen television (50+ inch diagonal). Please remember this is a basic hotel; if you want extra frou-frou find a hotel that offers that. If, on the other hand, all you want and need is a great place to stay for rest at an affordable price this is a great choice near the corn and soybean fields of rural Illinois.

Wi-fi was marginal and the in room phone was not operational; a situation hotel staff responded to by noting repairs were lined up for the following week.

After checking in and leaving for a concert, our room was given away to someone else. The lady was very apologetic and did refund our money with her placing us in a different room but we lost over $30 in drinks and food that was in the refrigerator that was thrown away and nothing was done to rectify that.

The hotel is upgrading. I had a brand new refrigerator and microwave in my room. The bed was comfortable and the surroundings are quiet. I got a good night sleep.
