Willows Hotel & The Bistro Restaurant

Very close to Starved Rock, and the nicest hotel in the area. Still, overpriced with lackluster service. For example, a 2+ night stay is required if you want to stay on Saturday probably because hotel staff is only on site from 8AM-2PM Monday thru Saturday (better make sure you don't need anything before 2 or you're SOL). Their nicest rooms come stocked with a 27" TV/VCR combo. The whole place feels like it hasn't been updated in years, but they're still happy to charge near $200 a night. Granted, you're probably not coming to Starved Rock to stay in your hotel - but for the price, you would probably expect a little more effort.

Breakfast was fantastic, room was great. Hotel would be a 5 star rating if not for the exterior (entire building needs a power wash and coat of paint) and the fact we were the ONLY ones in the place (no front desk workers). A little creepy coming in at night after fireworks. Full kitchen, fireplace, and jacuzzi made up for exterior!

Food was served super hot. Absolutely delicious. Big portions. My over medium eggs were perfectly cooked.

I came here for my honeymoon with my wife and absolutely loved it. Breakfast was amazing and the staff are wonderful. The room was well maintained and looked fantastic. A great suite for the money! Will definitely be staying here again!

The Pinto room is very nice. The TV could use some updating though. And it is right next to a lot of places you can just walk to and enjoy the day. Plus the free wine tasting is nice to have and go relax.
