Everything was wonderful. Very clean. The property is beautiful and the trails are located right outside of the lodge. The restaurant was very good. We ate breakfast in the main dining and dinner at the back door grill. We will be back!

Great service. Room tiny.

The service and food were exceptionally good. For those reasons I would return. The room was tiny and the bathroom was way too small. There was a coffee maker but no supplies to make a cup of coffee. No amenities in the room at all and the room was very outdated.

Over the course of my 2-night stay, I killed 3 mysterious black bugs in my room. There was no towel rack. The bathroom was so small that anyone taller or heavier than I am would not fit! I had to put the coffee maker on the floor in order to reach an outlet. I ate at all 3 restaurants: Each was mediocre at best. This location is, of course, perfect for accessing hiking, & the history is meaningful; however, they are charging for a nice hotel when this should be billed as a motel.

It was great to stay in the middle of Starved Rock. It made hiking really easy. Our room was comfortable and quiet. The on site restaurant was pretty good, but the little cafe had great coffee and cookies!

Everyone at the lodge is super friendly.

Great place to stay and hike this beautiful park. The rooms were nice and clean, beds were comfortable. Everyone at the lodge is super friendly and helpful in answering any of your questions. I will definitely come back to explore the remaining canyons we have yet to see.
