When we arrived, two of the four handicap parking spaces were blocked off for equipment to be stored there. But there were still three available parking spots for the Elite stay members. This is unacceptable. The only spot available was so close to the curb, I couldn’t fit my daughter’s wheelchair next to the car for her to get out. This, too, is unacceptable and speaks to how little Holiday Inn values disabled persons.

We checked in later in the evening, so it wasn’t until the morning that I realized how dirty the room was. The shower wasn’t clean. We found several hairs in the bed that did not belong to us. It makes me worried that the sheets weren’t even changed before our arrival. The floor had not been vacuumed.

At breakfast, a dad with three small children sat next to us. His son spilled a cup of juice and the dad got paper towels and cleaned up what he could. He then left and came back with a mop to clean the floor. I don't understand why a staff member did not come to do that and it was left to this man, with his small children and who had played to stay there.

It was a really disappointing stay, and I will not plan to stay here again. I would like a refund, as I don’t believe it was worth what I payed.

Pool misleading

Our experience overall was great, however I was very disappointed in the indoor pool. The picture, in the website, if the pool is not what the pool at the hotel looked like at all. There was also a hot tub, in the picture, in the website. There was not a hot tub at this location. The pool water was freezing and green.

They charged me $300 for the security deposit rather than the standard $75. Then didn’t release the hold on the deposit so I had to call, the gentleman apologized & said it was a mistake on their part & released the hold. Well then I was refunded $75. Not the $300 I paid. I called to ask & the manager said oh no we don’t do that. I said well apparently you do bc that’s what happened. She had 0 clue what she was talking about, & didn’t even attempt to look into it or help me, kept interrupting & speaking over me. Then another woman gets on the phone & tells me it’s because of my dog. Well the property is not pet friendly, my dog is a registered & verified service dog and they were aware of her when I checked in, even showed documentation which I am not obligated to do. Then she tried to tell me that my dog is not a service dog, then hung up on me, as did the manager. The unprofessionalism and overall incompetence is appalling, to say the least. Especially for what is supposed to be a renowned & prestigious hotel. Not only all of this horrendous behavior, but also in the room I stayed in it looked like someone pooped in the shower & stomped it down the drain. When I say I almost vomited, it was REPULSIVE. I went & bought bleach and poured a gallon of it down the drain. I couldn’t eat the rest of the night I was so sickened. This is what $600 for 2 nights will get you here folks. 0/10 do not recommend to anyone ever. Unless maybe they get new management.

Perfect hotel for our overnight stay. We were in town for a concert in Peoria and we found this hotel for a great price only 20 minutes away. The bed was super comfy and the air worked great. The bathroom had a great selection of dove products to be used. The breakfast was great. I had an egg and cheese omelet and a piece of sausage and my husband had biscuits and gravy. We will definitely stay there again if we ever go back that way.

The room was clean and updated including bathroom area. The provided toiletries were Dove including body lotion and liquid hand soap which is nice so you don’t have to wash your hands with one of the little bars of soap and get the counter all slimy. The biggest issue was the channel selection on the television. There were minimal channels and the TVs, two of them which were nice size, wouldn’t hook up to WiFi to cast from your phone. The WiFi was weak and jammed up as well.

Also got a free homemade chocolate chip cookie at check in... can't go wrong with that lol

Ice machine was broken in 3rd floor, and the extra blanket, sheets, and pillows for the let out sofa that is usually in a hotel room weren't there.

I am a long time customer of this property, having come here approximately once per year for about a dozen years or so. However, at this most recent visit, the property was being refurbished, with the hotel lobby unusable and many other amenities unavailable (exercise room, pool). There was extensive dirt and dust, with many rooms under construction and many workers present even on a weekend. All of this might have been OK, but the problem is that I paid what appeared to be full price (I paid well over $200 with tax included for one night). I feel taken advantage of, as I thought I was simply paying for a room in a hotel operating under normal circumstances, but clearly this was a long planned event at the hotel and the hotel still had an unacceptably high price set at Expedia during the days that they knew there would be refurbishment activity. Also unacceptable was that I attempted to speak to the manager while I was there (the manager did not speak with me), I also called the hotel when I returned home the next day (was told the manager would call me back), and finally the next day I called Expedia who called the hotel as well and said the manager would call me. I still have not spoken to a manager. The front desk also said they did not know how to give me a discount since I booked through Travelocity/Expedia. I am surprised as a long time customer to have been treated this way and plan to avoid Holiday Inn Express in Pekin in the future.

The rooms were very clean and well stocked. My only complaint on the room would be that there were a couple of stains on the chair and ottoman. The breakfast area was as clean and well stocked as any I've seen. The lady taking care of this area (Sharon?) was in perpetual motion. Everything was very clean, continually stocked and in immaculate condition. She made an impact on our family and we heard others commenting on her top-level service. A true asset to this company! We will certainly stay here again and will highly recommend to others. Thank you for a fabulous holiday experience!

We always stay there when we come up to visit our Grandma. I will say I would appreciate better communication when it comes to the cleaning. Other times they had a sign up sheet. This time there wasn’t one and no one told us anything so I assumed it would be cleaned daily- it wasn’t we had to tell the front desk. But that’s just a simple miscommunication and we always enjoy our stay!
