Great for the price

Very nice individual at the front desk who greeted me and quickly checked me in. I was a little worried at first because it was so affordable but I have to say it is one of the cleanest places I have stayed in. Bed was comfortable and the shower was very clean. Absolutely would stay here again. My stay was a just to sleep and shower and back on the road so no thrills just rest and shower.

Great service and price. Clean

Excellent service -quick reply by owner/service provider. Clean. Great price. Older property as viewed in photos, beds are older but ok.

Nice place to stay

This is an older motel, but well-maintained. Extremely nice proprietor. Convenient to Carthage and Nauvoo. Very quiet at night. Mattress seemed somewhat bouncy, but comfortable for sleeping. Half the price of other nearby motels. Stayed two nights and would definitely stay again if in the area.

The room was clean and comfortable. Not at all fancy. The manager had not received our reservation from Hotels.com
Phyllis, 1-night trip

Clean, comfortable, and spacious

The location of the motel is convenient--only 3 minutes from Carthage. It's about what you'd expect for a roadside motel. The room was comfortable and spacious, with a refrigerator and microwave. Housekeeping service was prompt and reliable. The room, while old, was great for a stopover while driving through Illinois. The on-site manager was pleasant, engaging, and friendly. For a comfortable stay driving through Illinois, I'd absolutely be willing to stay here again
Kenneth, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed for 3 nights. Was a very nice place. Very comfortable. The only thing I did not like us the owner kept showing up at our door and would not knock he would just try to get in. Luckily I kept our screen door locked but still with four ladies in the room I did not think it was appropriate.

10/10 Exceptional

I had to get a hotel last minute for a minor change in our travel plans. I needed it to be cheap due to the unexpected cost. So I booked the Prairie Winds Motel and for the price, I could not have been happier. It was in a safe location, surrounded by corn. It was easy access off the highway. It was clean and did not have a smell. The price was very cheap and the view of the sunset, over the corn, was gorgeous. For the price and service, I highly recommend this hotel. I am a light sleeper and it was silent. I never heard anything all night.
Jamie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at the PW for a place to stay for three nights while visiting family in the area. It was a great room for a good nights sleep and shower. The room was very quiet. The bed was comfortable. The decor is outdated; however, you cares because you cannot beat the price of the room. The owner was very welcoming. Our regular routine was to leave in the morning and return at night. My suggestion would be to install a large pole light or large lighted sign at the turn off the highway as it was very hard to see the turn at night. We will stay again.

4/10 Fair

lack of privately

It was difficult to understand the language barrier. My biggest issue was NO PRIVACY. Only Vertical blinds with gaps, no curtains so I had to dress in the bathroom. The air conditioner was too high on the wall so he gave me a chair to stand on (made me nervous as a senior but at least I didn't fall). The bed was comfortable, room was clean and it was very affordable.

Price outstanding. Nice manager. Clean room. Old fashioned. Cockroaches especially in bathroom. I killed 5. AC didn’t cool down. Just blew warm air.

Ripe With Potential

This is a small roadside motel that has been there for decades. It needs updating and some TLC, but the proprietor is very friendly and eager to help. He is so sweet! The room was mostly very clean (one litmus test being that walking barefoot on the floor resulted in NO dirty feet). There were small things like impossible to keep up with white grout, and dust in the a/c, which we didn’t need to use. The beds aren’t anything to rave about, but they weren’t uncomfortable either. My family and I are in the area 2-3 times a year to visit family, and we are likely to book this motel again based on affordability and it not being gross or terribly uncomfortable. It IS noisy there, right on Hwy. 136, but it’s a pretty convenient location as well. With even just a few small updates at a time this could become an exceptional little vintage boutique motel.

Quaint time travel

One of my first jobs in the 1970s was managing a little roadside motel. Checking in here was like stepping backward in time. That should not be seen as uncomplimentary. We found our stay to be quite adequate, For all that it is very dated. We tend to check in and drop our stuff go do things come back and are in the room basically just long enough to sleep. For an aged property It was clean and the clerk is incredibly friendly

Unbelievable staff

Staff is amazing! Good people ! Looked out for me as we drove a long distance to get to the Motel for a family visit.
David, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Beware! Do not stay here! There were no check-in instructions. We had to search everywhere to find a contact number. We were arriving late and called 10 times trying to reach someone. No response. When we arrived tired and exhausted, she tried to charge us more in order to get our room. Terrible in every way.

Mark, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

We were fooled by many reviews of “Excellent”, I’m not sure how those happened. I love a cute remodeled older motel, but this one did not fit that vibe. It was dated, the room smelled terrible, the blankets were stained, the decor dated, the room horribly stuffy when we arrived, and check in was way more complicated than it should have been since I booked and paid on Expedia. This motel has potential to be super cute, but it needs some love and care put into it. I’m not usually a harsh reviewer, but I was really mislead on the quality of this establishment.
