They had everything you needed for our doggos. The space was very tidy and stocked with everything we needed. I'll recommend this place to all my friend's traveling to the area and would definitely stay here again! The perks of being so close to the beach accessed wineries was a plus!"

Comfort Inn & Suites Carbondale University Area

8/10 Good

"I saw a lot of bad reviews about this location and I didn't experience any of them. Staff was helpful, room was clean, bed was comfy. It wasn't a five star hotel, nor does it deserve lower than 3. It's older, and worn in some areas. I'd rate between a 3 and 4. Definitely could use remodeling."

"This is a very nice property. The camper was well stocked. Beds were comfortable and check in process easy. Kevin is a very responsiva host and his priority is making sure his guests are comfortable. Nice lake for fishing and we enjoyed the pool and whirlpool. I would highly recommend this property for anyone visiting the area."
