No real front desk attendant (virtual kiosk). You can’t hear what’s being said lobby echoes. Dirty rooms black mold on bathroom curtains, stains on walls, dirty beds with stains not changed entire stay, took 3 hours to get clean towels, lobby smells like pet urine/feces. Continental breakfast was old bread & a gallon of milk & sunny D to be shared by guests (unsanitary). No workers on duty 24/7 if u need something..DONT. People actually live in the hotel.. the building next door is abandoned & the other building is a party area for locals. Terrible dirty hotel! Will neveeeeer book again.

There was no actual human staff available on site. I had to check in via a kiosk that connected me to a call center in India via Zoom. I could barely hear anything they were saying and the closed captions did not work either. The AC went out and i ended up getting a refund and cancelling my reservation. Do not stay here.

The good: One of the cheaper hotels in Carbondale; convenient to both SIU and Shawnee National Forest; kiosk staff were friendly and helped where they could; breakfast was 6:30-9:30, a decent window so most people should be able to grab something. The bad: They use remote kiosks at the front desk instead of in person. Since they're remote, if there's a problem with your room, the most they can do is pass the issue to management. Rarely saw anybody behind the front desk in person while I was there. My bathroom lightbulb needed changing and I had to ask twice to get it changed. On the second to last day of my stay, my toilet developed an issue where it wouldn't flush and would leak water on the floor. Told the front desk about it but the issue wasn't corrected before I left, had to use lobby bathroom instead. The soaps they give you are tiny and fragile. The soap in the lobby bathroom is basically a pump bottle of water. While I never had the breakfast, from what I could see it was pretty much toast, bagels, cereal, milk, and sunny D for orange juice. No sausage or eggs or anything like that. I could hear thumping music in the lobby, likely from the bar next door. Lobby chairs are a bit run down.

Well, should have read other reviews before going to this place that felt like I was in “The Shining”. Sadly, our place was non-refundable and we decided to stick it out. Ran out as we could after our night. The club nearby makes the parking lot into a block party and there are definitely squatters at the abandoned building behind this place.

The neighborhood is very sketchy. The only staff was a guy on a kiosk. He wanted me to pay although I had already payed through Expedia. I slept in my car that night and found another place the following night. Expedia refunded the money to me, so no complaints there.

Cheap for a reason. Not for families

Right next to a rowdy bar that lets out around 50 people at 1:30 am. Room has damage galore and no actual attendant on duty, just a kiosk. Breakfast is decent though and it's pretty quiet during the day. Also a kid breaking bottles against the abandoned building next door after 1 am is a lil wild. I told him chill out and he left though so all good I guess.Water pressure not great.

Spent a weekend in town visiting SIU - the entire time there was no one at the front desk! Instead you are greated by a KIOSK. No surveillance at the front door and an old broken dusty air conditioner as soon as you walk in. As soon as you walk in the humidity and smell are overpowering and the room was even worse. We ended up having to go buy linen and towels as we found several bugs thru out the room. The windows were filthy and the curtains stained with could have been mold or really bad stains! We ended up leaving after the first night and will never be back when visiting our child at school. Needs a lot of minimal work but I guess you get what you pay for.
