Location: Carbondale
Review: Clean, spacious suite, excellent kitchen (talk to front desk staff for induction cooktop). Loved the breakfast bar options that shifted daily. Property is secure 24/7, which was a nice detail. Minor qualm was the saline pool spent about 40% of my stay as being closed - seemed to have some challenges with it, but definitely not a deal breaker. And the suites have the best blackout blinds I've ever encountered in a hotel! Will def stay again., by Jillian, June 21, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent
