I was a little worried at first because it was so affordable but I have to say it is one of the cleanest places I have stayed in. Bed was comfortable and the shower was very clean. Absolutely would stay here again. My stay was a just to sleep and shower and back on the road so no thrills just rest and shower. ##### Ricardo Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa Sep 24, 2023 The motel and area was very quiet. Staff was nice. Room was dated but very clean and b da very very comfortable I would definitely stay there again.

Extremely nice proprietor. Convenient to Carthage and Nauvoo. Very quiet at night. Mattress seemed somewhat bouncy, but comfortable for sleeping. Half the price of other nearby motels. Stayed two nights and would definitely stay again if in the area. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great service and price.

It's about what you'd expect for a roadside motel. The room was comfortable and spacious, with a refrigerator and microwave. Housekeeping service was prompt and reliable. The room, while old, was great for a stopover while driving through Illinois. The on-site manager was pleasant, engaging, and friendly. For a comfortable stay driving through Illinois, I'd absolutely be willing to stay here again ##### Kenneth Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We stayed for 3 nights. Was a very nice place. Very comfortable. The only thing I did not like us the owner kept showing up at our door and would not knock he would just try to get in. Luckily I kept our screen door locked but still with four ladies in the room I did not think it was appropriate. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Sep 12, 2023 We stayed at the PW for a place to stay for three nights while visiting family in the area. It was a great room for a good nights sleep and shower. The room was very quiet. The bed was comfortable. The decor is outdated; however, you cares because you cannot beat the price of the room. The owner was very welcoming. Our regular routine was to leave in the morning and return at night. My suggestion would be to install a large pole light or large lighted sign at the turn off the highway as it was very hard to see the turn at night. We will stay again. ##### Mary Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie Jul 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I had to get a hotel last minute for a minor change in our travel plans. I needed it to be cheap due to the unexpected cost. So I booked the Prairie Winds Motel and for the price, I could not have been happier. It was in a safe location, surrounded by corn. It was easy access off the highway. It was clean and did not have a smell. The price was very cheap and the view of the sunset, over the corn, was gorgeous. For the price and service, I highly recommend this hotel. I am a light sleeper and it was silent. I never heard anything all night. ##### Jamie Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Leon Sep 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Price outstanding. Nice manager. Clean room. Old fashioned. Cockroaches especially in bathroom. I killed 5\. AC didn’t cool down. Just blew warm air. ##### Leon Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Aug 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### lack of privately It was difficult to understand the language barrier. My biggest issue was NO PRIVACY. Only Vertical blinds with gaps, no curtains so I had to dress in the bathroom. The air conditioner was too high on the wall so he gave me a chair to stand on (made me nervous as a senior but at least I didn't fall). The bed was comfortable, room was clean and it was very affordable. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kate Apr 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Ripe With Potential This is a small roadside motel that has been there for decades. It needs updating and some TLC, but the proprietor is very friendly and eager to help. He is so sweet! The room was mostly very clean (one litmus test being that walking barefoot on the floor resulted in NO dirty feet). There were small things like impossible to keep up with white grout, and dust in the a/c, which we didn’t need to use. The beds aren’t anything to rave about, but they weren’t uncomfortable either. My family and I are in the area 2-3 times a year to visit family, and we are likely to book this motel again based on affordability and it not being gross or terribly uncomfortable. It IS noisy there, right on Hwy. 136, but it’s a pretty convenient location as well. With even just a few small updates at a time this could become an exceptional little vintage boutique motel. ##### Kate Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles Aug 4, 2024 #### Quaint time travel One of my first jobs in the 1970s was managing a little roadside motel. Checking in here was like stepping backward in time. That should not be seen as uncomplimentary. We found our stay to be quite adequate, For all that it is very dated. We tend to check in and drop our stuff go do things come back and are in the room basically just long enough to sleep. For an aged property It was clean and the clerk is incredibly friendly ##### Charles Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lucy Jun 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The host was kind and helpful.

Do not stay here! There were no check-in instructions. We had to search everywhere to find a contact number. We were arriving late and called 10 times trying to reach someone. No response. When we arrived tired and exhausted, she tried to charge us more in order to get our room. Terrible in every way. ##### Joshua Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Destiny Jun 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort My stay was amazing the room was big ##### Destiny Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Russell Jul 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent Place to Rest My wife and I enjoyed our stay.
