Best Western Plus Peoria
Only one space left between two big trucks. Dmall lot for such a big hotel. Bathroom was VERY basic. Beds too soft for my taste. Couldn't get comfortable as my knee always bent at an odd angle as a side sleeper. TV didn't work at all. Not important for our stay...but indicative of less than stellar ...
