We enjoyed our time at your hotel. Our room was clean and quiet. It does need painting, I have a friend that has a painting company. Contact me if you would like a fair estimate. It’s a slow time of year for them and I bet bet it could be done for a good price. Have a merry Christmas!

Great service in a low budget hotel
It's funny how the pics on hotels.com always make the place seem so much nicer. I wasn't expecting a lot and in that way I wasn't really disappointed. The service though was top notch. I was really happy with the people I dealt with. I'm buying a house nearby and was just in the area for the home inspection so I'm sure I won't need a hotel for another night, but if I do it will be a different property.

This is a very old and outdated hotel, not actually in McHenry. Instead it is in johsburg. That being said, there is a gas station a little ways away where you can get water or snacks as there is nothing to be had closer that 10-15 minutes away nor there. The balcony door did not close all the way and we listened to wet road noise all night that was even louder than the volume of passers by and their doors closing. It is not handicap accessible and smells of marijuana. There is only somebody available to assist between the hours of 9am and 8pm (I think it was that late.) Nobody to get help if there was a problem. No phones in rooms and our cell service was not the best if there would have been an emergency. Our room was terribly cold with temps being cold and wet for October 13-15. One gentleman there however was nice and helpful. The woman and other man, couldn’t have cared less. 90 days later and I’m still fighting for my stay stamps.Gggrrrrr
