Top Buffalo Rock State Park Hotel Reviews

Starved rock area lovey home

8/10 Good

"What a relaxing place for a weekend in the Ottawa/Oglesby area. We had a great time and recommend this place. It's probably best for a small family or friends who don't mind one of the bedrooms only having curtains for privacy. Joe was great to communicate with and made check in as easy as possible."

Comfort Inn Ottawa Starved Rock Area

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and friendly staff."

Grand Bear Resort at Starved Rock

10/10 Excellent

"Thanks"

Magnificent Riverfront Victorian House steps from downtown Ottawa !

8/10 Good

"Large home worked well for eight 69/70 year old ladies with a view of the river from the deck along with lots of bedrooms/ beds and bathrooms. Nice large table in the main dining room to play games at. Smaller dining room has the only TV but view is obstructed by another dining table in front of the couch so IPads were used to watch college football games on. Cleaning lady missed cleaning out inside of frig along with removing a broken chair on the deck . Obtaining check in code was received later than stated."

Super 8 by Wyndham Ottawa Starved Rock

8/10 Good

"I always use the Super 8. It is economical, clean, with a provided breakfast. I would comment that they do not have a gym or pool, but then my needs when traveling are typically a good, clean bed; the fact that rooms are attractively decorated is a plus."

"This property was perfect for our weekend getaway. Clean, well stocked, and very cozy. Bonus, it's walking distance to some great restaurants, shops, and parks. The host was very communicative and responded to questions within minutes. All we wanted was a quiet place away from the kids to reconnect, watch TV, and enjoy some us time. This little place exceeded expectations."
