    The room itself was turned down but the sheets and bed runner were stained and rough. The toiletry items were slim to none. The floors were still dirty and could not be walked on with barefoot less you wanted to track dirt and dust in to the bed.

    The place is quiet. The particular room we were placed in was able to provide us with solitude.

    Not a hotel for travelers: people live there and it's known for drug activity
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 1 night

    We arrived at the property and the parking lot was so small, we could not park our truck and trailer there. We almost couldn't turn around to get out. It was obvious people were living in the hotel, drinking outside and causing a lot of noise. We found out later that it is a known crack hotel in Peoria. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

    Everything, You name it, it was poor. From the room to the cleanliness, safety etc.

    This might have been the worst traveling experience that I have ever encountered. The worst thing wasn't even the poor accommodations. It was the seedy type of environment. Immediately when I drove up I did not feel safe. There were what appeared to be prostitution type of activity going on. The entire courtyard reeked of marijuana. I tried to cancel my reservation only to not receive any assistants from the front desk. I actually was so uncomfortable that after 2 hours in that room I took my family to another hotel. There wasn't even a closet to hang your clothes in. UNEXCEPTABLE...

    Cigarette burn holes in the bedding. Burn holes in the curtains. Main door to the room does not close properly. No room information available in the room. Online pictures are NOT what you will be experiencing. There is a reason they have a no refund policy because they know folks will turn back around and want their money back as soon as they pull into the parking lot. Let alone walk into the room. I discourage anybody to stay in this dump. If I wasn't so far from home I would have considered the $71 the price of a life lesson and went on with my life.

    The TV selection was the best thing about this room

    Seldom do I leave such a searing bad review, but this place was beyond beliief. To say that it could easily have been a rent-by-the-hour motel or that Motel 6 is luxurious compared to this place would still not capture how horrible the Oyo was. The staff, such as it was, was rude, obnoxious, dismissive, and abrupt. That applied not only to check-in but check-out, as well. The facilities themselves were deplorable. What was presented as a 'non-smoking' room was anything but. Peeling paint, damaged floors, walls and ceilings, phantom towel bars, and no usable soap or any cups or glasses only begings to touch on the lack of tolerance for this dump.

    There was absolutely nothing I liked about this dive.

    This place was misrepresented on the internet. Upon arrival, there were men loitering around our vehicle, which made us very nervous. The clerk was rude. The key she gave us did not work. We were completely overwhelmed with fear and left. I have asked for a refund, as we never spent one minute in the room. To date, management has not reached out to me. I would not receommend this place for anything.
