It was cheap, hard to figure out frontage road access (I missed it the first time), and half clean (Bed & Shower Clean, but the Carpets were horrible). Someone on the floor had a dog, which did wake me once, but other than that for $58 Bucks it worked.
All I needed was a place to rest and sleep after driving from Chicago and walking all day long around the SIU Campus. This weekend all the hotels and Motels were all booked for the weekends school activities. I expected the worse, but on the contrary, this place was clean, I felt safe, staff was courteous, it was nice and quiet perfect for sleeping. There was a weird odor in the hallway, but I did not smell it once I was in the room.

The place was wonderful. Southern Illinois has so much to choose from. Especially in that area. We went to the Mall and Movie's one night. Then we heard of a place just 15 miles away to eat called Walker's Bar & Grill in Zeigler!! Great Great Food!!!If you come to Southern Illinois you should really look up that place!!! Marion was great and the hotel stay was wonderful!
I have stayed here many times and I am currently staying here now.I am waiting to move into a house I am buying and I know that Super 8 here in Marion is the best because I have stayed in every other motel in town!The management is wonderful and have been helpful with everything I have needed.The complimentary breakfast could be improved, but ...
We have stayed here twice thinking the first visit was a one time bad occurance. However, both visits were not very good. The hotel smalled very bad and the rooms were not very clean.
