What a joke! This is the absolute easiest review to write. Ever! Just read everything below that JW wrote. He nailed it! I complained to the hotel's corporate boss, the Lexington Hotel chain, and while they were very apologetic, it was the duty of the actual hotel to respond to my complaint. And they did. While they, too, were apologetic,... More

To say this establishment engages in "false advertising" would be an understatement. First of all, they bill themselves as the "Elgin Inn" even though they still have a "Days Inn" sign outside. When we plotted the location on our GPS we kept driving past this "Days Inn" sign but couldn't find the "Elgin Inn." So we called them, and they... More

Lets talk about the positive first. Friendly staff, nice rooms, and good location. Now the negative. 1. Not a single lock on any door to the outside. Any stranger can come wander the halls. 2. MASSIVE renovation means broken glass in halls, dirt & dust, power tools laying around, random room with a dog barking, hallways with only one light,... More

We brought a group here over the weekend and we were a little surprised when we pulled in. It looked to be closed. There were no cars, the sign was half taken apart and tractor trailers parked in the parking lot. Frankly, I was a little concerned because we had brought a group of teenagers for a church confrence. They... More

I booked online for a smoking room, with wi-fi. I get here and there's no smoking and no wi-fi, no shampoo or conditioner in the room, THen I noticed the a/c and heat also do not work, there were cops here @ 10pm and there's a lot of noise. Without wi-fi, there's no way of knowing who delivers, especially because... More

At the moment we are under a major renovation, shampoo, conditioner and wi-fi are amenities that will be available for our guest's. Our A/C units are controlled by a wall thermostat... More

Before I get started, I do want to say that the staff is very nice. I had a warm greeting and the receptionist had a wonderful sense of humor. When we walked into the hotel, it smelled wonderful!! It was some type of carpet deodorizer or air freshener so that raised a red flag because I wondered what they were... More

This hotel is creepy!!! We had to stop there because we had been driving for 12 hours and were exhausted... But really, we should have went for another few minutes. Cost us 95$ for an old king size bed room, we were on the first floor and the outside door did not lock, the front door was not very safe... More
