Staff was very warm and welcoming with high professional quality. Was very very impressed with cleanliness, definitely price and location was amazing because I literally walked next door for supper. Also had great coffee. I've stayed in hotels that say they have coffee but do not.

We travel a lot in the area for work. This is one of the cleanest hotels. The jacuzzi bathtub is awesome. The staff is nice. The rooms and blankets and towels are neat and clean and the location feels safe. Also if you need to park a truck and trailer it has a good lot for that.

What Guests Said About Carbondale:

Friendly small city!

Friendly small city! Many of the buildings were older, but very well maintained. Carbondale has a great variety of restaurants as well as movie theaters, a great playground, hands-on science museum, and a bowling alley. Close to hiking and a variety of natural areas. Everyone we met was very welcoming.

We didn't have time to explore what the city has to offer but the quality of restaurants was very good. The Holiday Inn Express and the staff were A+++. We ate at Sergios Mexican restaurant the food was excellent and plentiful.

The bed was exceptionally and dangerously high.

The bed was exceptionally and dangerously high. It was impossible to transfer safely from a wheelchair, forcing us to use a standard room chair as a makeshift step stool. The shower seat was completely detached from the wall, making it entirely unstable. Furthermore, it was stored improperly behind the grab rails, completely obstructing necessary access to them.

If stay there again.

If stay there again. In fact, my family has stayed there multiple times. We didn't go to the breakfast so no opinion on that, but free is free. The automated booking system was very annoying. For a 1 night stay I received 7 emails and 3 texts by the time we checked out. I should have opted out.

Loved walking the campus and seeing familiar buildings as well as a lot of new ones! Still a very beautiful campus! Enjoyed walking down Illinois St in Carbondale and reminiscing! The old DQ building is still there but the name has changed. We spoke to the owner, Mark, who’s lived there 50 years and he remembered all the places we hung out! He was a walking/living encyclopedia and it was such a joy to speak to him! He even made us a Boston Shake which we have never been able to get anywhere but there!! He told us to try Quantros Pizza for dinner, which we did, and it was delicious all! It’s located in the same area where one of our old hangouts was, Spudnuts Donut Shop, so it was fun to go there for the memories made in the very same place many decades ago!

Carbondale is one of the nicer towns in Southern Illinois.

Carbondale is one of the nicer towns in Southern Illinois. It is close to Giant City Park, lakes and Southern Illinois University is south of town. I always enjoy going there, visiting the different places and enjoying the many and varied activities going on.

Location, ease of getting to the shops or for the bus route. Friendly staff and is a nice place to stay. My concerns before staying with the general reviews of all hotels in carbondale turned out unfounded here. The bed side lights having built in USB chargers is great. I'm a non smoker and there was no stench from any kind of smoke.

The room was generally clean and my stay was quiet. The breakfast was available earlier than some hotels, which I appreciated because I had an early departure. I also appreciate the reasonable pet fee. The location was close to my destination and near lots of restaurants and retail.

In town for SIU graduation. Area hotels were all inflating prices. Comfort Inn was reasonably priced, pet-friendly, and had the most comfortable beds. Counter Staff were super friendly.
