Quality Inn Mount Vernon, IL

We stayed here for 3 nights to attend a funeral. The staff at the front desk at check in and check out were friendly and personable. The free breakfast was great: scrambled eggs, sausage, toast, bagels, muffins, waffle maker, cereal, coffee, apple juice, orange juice, and milk. The price was well within our range and good for the amenities. Pool was our of order. The location was great. Right in the middle of everything. We were next to an Applebee's and had drinks there all three nights. My husband is from that area and if we go back to visit his family, we will definitely stay there again.

Bed was very comfortable. We rested well. Close to breakfast area making it more easy for my disabled husband to get to... just as I requested. Breakfast was excellent. Had three types of coffee: mild, medium and bold. I enjoyed the light, my husband the bold. We actually took to go cups. Usually, the coffee doesn't rate a to go cup. Waffles were actually the thin mix they are supposed to be making light tasty waffles. Most places have the thick batter which makes heavy doughy waffles. My husband really liked the blueberry muffins. That is quite a compliment from him because he is used to home made waffles using our own fresh blueberries which he loves. Staff very helpful and courteous during our short visit. Would certainly highly recommend this hotel and will work it into our future travel plans.

I was not expecting much in the way of décor based on the price I paid. The room looked great. Sometimes when rooms are updated the hotel will not fix walls, etc. Everything about this room looked good. I slept well in the bed and the water stayed hot enough to finish my shower. :-) I was at the end of the hallway, which could have meant hearing foot traffic down the stairs, but the room was quiet. It was July in IL, so it was hot. The AC was already on in the room , set to 70* so I did not have to wait for the room to cool down.

This was a quick overnight rest stop on a long drive, so all I did was go in, watch a little TV, cool off my cooler food, and sleep. Didn't even shower. But what I saw of it, it was fine. Breakfast was good.

Location and value.
