We stayed here the night before the eclipse-4/7/24. We came from Rockford, and due to the price gouging going on, Springfield was the closest we could get to Carbondale without paying ridiculous prices.The man at the front desk (I think his name was Anthony) remembered us from 6 years ago when we stayed one night! Double queens were booked, so we got a king with sofa bed, which was fine, I knew they were probably booked solid. I asked for bedding for the sofa bed, and got it within minutes. Anthony and the rest of the staff really know how to treat people. We were treated like they wanted us there, and everyone had a smile. The hotel is very clean, and I couldn't believe how comfortable my bed was. I slept soundly through the night and I never do that at hotels. Never! I'm usually up every half hour, flipping from side to side, in pain. This is definitely where we will stay when we drive down again.
