Top Illinois Canyon Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Grand Bear Resort at Starved Rock

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin was very dusty and something’s had a half inch of dirt on them but I have to say that’s the only complaint I have. We had a great weekend there!"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ottawa by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"It was really clean"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Peru Starved Rock St Park

8/10 Good

"Hotel was clean and staff was very polite We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel."

Super 8 by Wyndham Ottawa Starved Rock

8/10 Good

"I always use the Super 8. It is economical, clean, with a provided breakfast. I would comment that they do not have a gym or pool, but then my needs when traveling are typically a good, clean bed; the fact that rooms are attractively decorated is a plus."

Comfort Inn Ottawa Starved Rock Area

8/10 Good

"Overall, nice stay at a good price. The pool hot tub was broken and no towels were stocked. We hadn’t brought down towels. The room was nice, except the bathroom door knob had cut a hole in the wall from opening the door so many times from many people. The room was quiet. I would have brought my own pillow as theirs were really small, square ones. The breakfast was ok, not enough fruit choices or healthy options. Being that the price was right and parking was convenient- I would recommend it despite the imperfections."
