Top Carbondale Hotel Reviews

Best Western Saluki Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great overnight stay"

Owl's Nest is a perfect getaway in the woods with lakes nearby. Pet friendly!

10/10 Excellent

"This place was awesome will be staying there again when we are back in the area. If you are thinking about staying in southern Illinois do not hesitate to book this place you will not be disappointed! We loved it!"

Super 8 by Wyndham Carbondale

8/10 Good

"The room and bed/sheets were clean. Unfortunately the air conditioner wasn’t left on so the room was really hot when we arrived. The stair well had a funny smell but the room itself was nice and did not smell. The property seems well taken care of, but you get what you pay for. The bathtub is in need of refinishing. The hair conditioner was empty. The most important thing in a hotel for me is that the room is clean and the bed is comfortable and they do offer that. For the money, I would stay again, but don’t expect anything extra."

Pine Cabin #3 on 30 Acres! 1 mi. from Carbondale, IL & SIUC Campus

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed our stay. As others have mentioned, the outside perimeter could use touching up, but it's in the woods so it's not really outlandish. The only complaint we had was the key didn't work properly and turned the whole mechanism, so the door had to be unlocked from the inside, which meant we had to leave the cabin unlocked while we were out, which is not ideal. We just brought what little valuables we had with us in the car. Overall very cozy and cleaner and accommodating than most older cabins. Would stay again, and very glad recycling was included."

5 acre Paradise-Shawnee Wine Trail, Pool, Pond, Firepit, Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent
