Top Marion Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Marion I-57

10/10 Excellent

"everything great"

Super 8 by Wyndham Marion

8/10 Good

"Bed was comfortable, sheets were clean and cozy. There was some mold/mildew under the edge of the sink and in the shower. The shower had a tub, but it didn’t plug, so the shower was the only option. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was decent - biscuits and gravy, waffles, toast, etc. Biggest complaint was the group of people in the gazebo structure outside were very noisy and we saw one of the men walk between the sheds there to relieve himself twice. But that was more about the guests than the hotel itself."
