Super 8 by Wyndham Mount Vernon, IL

I was frustrated after spending a couple hours looking for a hotel in Mt. Vernon. Reviews can make anyone uneasy about staying at a hotel. When I came back to the task, I just picked, and I'm glad I chose the Super 8. Our room was very accommodating. Everything was clean. The AC worked great. I know some travelers want a hot breakfast, but we're not that picky. Toast, waffles, yogurt.....that works for us. Our stay was for two nights. We didn't expect maid service after one night, but we came back on day 2 to fresh towels and a clean room. We are in the area every year for a family reunion, so we'll be staying here again.

For the price, I was expecting bare bones, but it was actually very nice: coffee in room, updated bathroom, and even breakfast. Most importantly, it was very clean and quiet. During my stay, a family of five with two dogs moved in next door and I couldn't hear them through the walls.

The property is easy to access from the interstate and has a variety of businesses relatively close by. Big spotlights in the parking lot were helpful for feeling like the parking was secure. Rooms were reasonably updated and the curtains in particular were great for blocking out light.

Place was clean and was a value for what we paid. Staff was nice and professional, check in and check out was a smooth operation. The breakfast area was nice and the breakfast was good.

bed was comfortable. breakfast was good. when there was a real person to ask a question of they were helpful.
