Top Carbondale Hotel Reviews

Best Western Saluki Inn

8/10 Good

"We came to visit our son at SIU and really enjoyed our stay. The hotel was nice, clean, and very affordable. The breakfast was great, with lots of options. There's a bar right next to the hotel, which was nice, and a couple of restaurants nearby. The area felt safe and had a good amount of activity. Overall, a really good place to stay when visiting SIU!"

Screened Hot Tub & Peacocks Nearby

10/10 Excellent

"This cabin is everything it is advertised to be and more. The cabin is very clean and the accommodations are great. The property offers privacy, peaceful surroundings and a great outdoor view. We saw deer every day and was visited by the peacock who roams the property. The fire pit area is very relaxing and the screened in back porch with hot tub are an added bonus. Loved sitting on the front porch as well. Don’t hesitate booking this one. You won’t be disappointed."

The Old South Comes To Carbondale with this Southern Mansion

10/10 Excellent

"Oak Manor was the best house we have ever rented - and we have rented many. The whole experience was excellent. The house was spacious. The decor was beautiful. Every kind of amenity was available. Betsy was wonderful in her role as host. We loved the outside porches, caught fish in the ponds and generally had a great time. Please be advised that we are already planning our next trip to Oak Manor!"
