Best Western Plus Centralia Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Was not expecting such a great experience! I've stayed in countless hotels over the years. The staff were all excellent and clearly took pride in their work and it showed. The hotel was clean and modern. The coffee bar was a nice touch. Pool was great. Breakfast was really good. Seriously one of the nicest places I've stayed in a long time. Would recommend without any hesitation."

Days Inn by Wyndham Salem, Illinois

10/10 Excellent

"Ok so google goofed with the directions to the property it said Quality Inn was Days Inn that's not good. So you arrive at the property and the outside looks like the property had been in a horror film. very outdated and really not an appealing place but for the cost you should expect it to be that way, rooms outside door looked as if it had been kicked in before go inside beds are the old style but like I said for what you pay its expected hand wash towels had stains on them but did not see that on the body towels toilets you have to hold the flushed down so everything in the bowl goes down updated wash station. A/C does work well but if its on it leaks on the floor but A/C did keep the room cool. But overall I got what I paid for did not stay for the continental breakfast so cannot comment on the food."

Copperfield of Centralia - Unit 1 - Centralia, IL

10/10 Excellent

"Classic character with everything you will need. We really enjoyed our stay. We were three families traveling to the area for an event, and the house provided room for everyone. All the bedrooms were a good size, and the mattresses were all very comfortable. The main suite's bathroom is very large and has a great shower. The other showers are a little tight since they have clawfoot tubs. The kitchen provided us with plenty of room for everyone to gather for meals. Our favorite place was the large gated courtyard. We enjoyed hanging out on the front porch in the evening or by the fire pit, playing cornhole. We are already discussing coming back to this house when we return to the area next year."

Cozy one‑bedroom, one‑bath vacation rental in Keysport, rebuilt in 2025 from a former bait shop and located near Carlyle Lake, the park, beach, and boat ramps.

10/10 Excellent

"The Bait Shop Cabin was perfect for our weekend anniversary trip! Luxurious touches like 2 fireplaces, a rain head shower/steamer, and an extremely comfortable king-size bed left us feeling pampered in this cozy cabin. It was just right for us, and we would definitely come back again. Thank you, Heidi!"
