Top Smiley Face Water Tower Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Bloomington East Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our room was clean, breakfast was good, staff was kind and helpful. It was full when we stayed and everyone seemed to be having a good time.... It was REALLY not OK to have the only way to reach upper floors be through an unlocked exterior stair well. The cement stairwell was not locked so anyone could gain access to the hotel and it was so narrow that it was difficult getting your bags up to and down from the room."

Chateau Hotel and Conference Center

8/10 Good

"This was an average hotel. Great place to sleep for a night. I didn't use the pool, but I did use the gym and it had everything I needed including treadmill, free weights, and a bench. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the staff was friendly. The free breakfast wasn't gourmet or anything, but filling and I won't complain because it was free. The property seems really ornate and fancy on the outside, but inside, you can tell it's dated. There was an elevator down, an ice machine I noticed wasn't working, etc, the decor is older, no charging ports in the lamps."

REGAL 8 INN & SUITES

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are clean the bed was comfortable no foul smell the hotel is about 40 mins outside of Springfield and there is a lot of restaurants near by"

Travelodge by Wyndham Atlanta, Illinois

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed here several time, the first time there was no reception desk. The new owners have added a desk and the family owners attend to the guest and their needs. Don’t let the empty parking lot scare you! They have great shower heads and water pressure. Minimalist property but very clean. Bonus…easy access laundry if you need to refresh your travel wear."

2 acre private wellness retreat with sauna, hot tub and outdoor games

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I had a wonderfully relaxing time here. The home was clean and well kept. The property was nice and spacious. My husband enjoyed the swing in the yard. We did not have an opportunity to use the hot tub or sauna due to how hot the days were that we were there. For us, this is a perfect October destination. 10/10 would recommend and return for another stay."

Serene Private Luxury Escape w/Beautiful Porches, Spa Patio & Fun Game Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"Sticks and Stone was absolutely perfect for our team retreat! It exceeded our expectations. Can’t wait to go back!"
