I went there about 5 years ago and disliked the place enough to cross it off my list, The place is about the same but they are remodeling about 5 rooms. If I didn't write a negative review last time it was because the Mother and Son team that owned and operated the Hotel, was trying so hard and they were so charming. Also there is a lack of good hotels in that town. The Super 8s that I used in the 3 cities down were far better.
I didn’t read part about contacting hotel about pets prior to arrival. They have dedicated pet rooms and all were taken. They however gave me a room that was of lesser quality but all I need was a place to sleep so I appreciate them not just sending me away. For the price, it was great! Their new rooms appeared to be very nice, but don’t allow pets. I’d stay there again during my travels.
We watched the reality show, "Crappie Lake," and one of our reasons to stay in Benton, IL. Watch it, and you will know what I am talking about. Our hosts, Akash and Hiral, owners, are so helpful and were part of the reality show. They are celebs in their own right. We had so much fun exploring Benton and all the places Luann and Sonja featured on "Crappie Lake." All, so much fun!
The motel was very easy to find and the room was VERY clean and comfortable with a mini frig and microwave and large tv. The owner, Akash, was very personable. He got ahold of me after I checked out to let me know I had left something behind in the room and was able to retrieve the item before I left town.
The owner is the most hospitable person I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting-and I’ve met a lot of hotel staff in my years. The beds and pillows are top notch and the room/bathroom were extremely clean. This is an old refurbished motel and has kept the old charm while still being very comfortable
The owners of the establishment are very cordial and kind. They helped me with several other questions and even booked a driver for a long distance trip. I recommend staying at the Benton Motel. Very well located within the city, close to banks, restaurants and other facilities.
Owners of this motel are so nice people with great hospitality! Our warm conversation in the everning was very enjoyble. Wish them continius success of their business.
Room was clean. Actually, place was very quiet to sleep over. I would defenetly stay again in this motel.
Staff was very nice
Beds were comfortable
Room was a good size
We met the new owners, of 3 days, and they were already hauling in new furniture, so I think they have good plans to bring this hotel back to life! Many, many things need to be updated.
The owner is very nice and hospitable. He made sure we had what we needed and checked in on us throughout the trip. This was a great place to stay that was centrally located for all of the activities we did in the area.
