Comfortable Stay with Excellent Amenities Stayed at Country Garden and Suite in Benton, IL and was very impressed. The room was very clean, the bed was super comfortable, and everything looked recently updated.The hot breakfast in the morning was a great touch — fresh and filling. The staff was friendly and check-in was fast and easy. I also liked that the hotel is right off the highway, which made it convenient for my road trip.

We will never book a stay there again. Our room was beyond filthy. Floors not swept or mopped. A dirty towel in the bathroom. Dust everywhere. Obvious room hadn’t been cleaned in some time. TV didn’t work. Very disappointed.

Definitely a place to rest your head at night. When we arrived, I found several brown stains all over our sheets. Thankfully the front desk staff gave us a new sheet in which it was also stained. The floors were very nasty, after walking around for less than 20 minutes, my feet were stained black. The property claims to be smoke free but smelt very strongly of weed and cigarette smoke. Probably wouldn’t stay here again.

I had a wonderful experience staying at Country Garden and Suite in Benton, Illinois. Right of i57The bed was very comfortable, and the room was spotless—no signs of bed bugs or roaches, which is always a relief when traveling. The property looks newly renovated, and everything felt fresh and clean. I also enjoyed a delicious, hot breakfast in the morning, which was a great way to start the day. Overall, a clean, quiet, and comfortable stay. I would definitely stay here again!

We had to switch rooms when we got there because of roaches. The second room we moved to also had roaches. Shower curtains in both rooms had mold on them. I would not recommend staying here. The staff was very helpful.

Very old and run down. Our door wouldn't lock unless you slam the door and the screen on the TV was busted. The breakfast was a waste. I wouldn't stay here again.
