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.

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!

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.

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.

Around 1:30 am multiple people were trying to get into the room. Felt very unsafe. My husband was there on a fishing trip and probably won’t ever stay there again due to this occurring.

The office person was very nice and accommodating, the room was large with a comfortable bed, nicely decorated. More choices for breakfast. Conveniently located off the highway. The only thing I did not like was that the side entrance was not secure. It was left unlocked, not like most motel/motels that need a key card for entry. Also fairly priced.

The property was very run down and dirty. Everything in the room was very dusty and random hair was noted on the walls and bed quilt. The towels were tiny and felt like sandpaper. We paid in advance and almost left but it made for a very uncomfortable night. Would NOT recommend.

Hard to find.

The sign was hard to find and the place did not have its own entrance. You had to enter through another business. Once you got in it was clean and comfortable but we went around at least 3 times - with GPS - before we saw the sign and figured how to get to it.
