Hotel has a beautiful carved maple lobby, beautiful view of the illinois river & friendlt and accomodating staff. Rooms are nice. Some of the hallways etc could use some updating. Nice and quiet with excellent complimentary coffee in the mornings. Irish pub within walking distance as well as excellent pizza at Hoops Pizza and beer. Also located next to I 74 with wasy access

When I arrived for check in at the Mark Twain hotel. the receptionist informed me their system was not working with third party booking companies. She was unable to check us in so I had to book a room at another hotel. How do I get a refund ?

They want me to charged again, when I have already payed. I showed them my my receipt. The hotel it's not the best to stay in it, The receptionist it was scramming at us because we didn't want to pay again. if you want to shower you need to let the water run for at list 5 minutes so you can get hot water,the snick never got to get the hot water. The blinds are broken you can closed them, so at night you get all the light form the parking lot. The carpet is so dirty you can't take your shoes. , they are ripoff, they take advantage of people.

I was charged 3 times for a room I could not stay in because the water to the building was off. This was a horrible experience literally ruined the entire trip. The staff was unfriendly and rude. Was even charged extra when requesting a refund. I'm upset and down right offended by this the treatment. I'm so glad I turned my life over to God this place would have been on fire. Why would Expedia recommend such a place.

I was not able to stay here because they were having computer issues. She asked us to come back in 45 minutes and then left! The door was locked, no one was answering the phone, and we were forced to go stay at a different hotel for the night!

Upon arrival, the homeless tents next door was the first sign of how our trip would go. Walked in, checked in, the lady at the counter was nice, however she informed us that the elevator was down and she didn’t know when it would be working. We at that point had to go up to the 5th floor in which was crowded due to all the guest. It also had an unpleasant smell. When we got to the room, the temperature had to be at 80 plus degrees. And did not smell good. The carpet was extremely stained and were uncomfortable even taking our shoes off. We went to the concert, and when we came back around 11:30 pm, decided to leave and not stay. Would not be going back to this hotel.

Couldn’t get me checked in at first because they “didn’t get the reservation from Hotels.com.” Eventually the manager showed up and they figured it out. Building is in rough condition on the outside. Elevator didn’t work so we had to climb 5 flights of stairs. Hot water was spotty at best. Shower took a long time to get Luke warm, then would get cold randomly

Left for 4 hours and came back to someone having entered the room & left without shutting the door, luckily nothing was missing. Had no shampoo available in the bathroom. The coffee pot was dirty, the lids were the wrong size for the cups.

I rarely write hotel reviews. This property used to be nice but is now long past its prime. We arrived at 2PM on a Saturday. There was a tent encampment across the street. The double doors from the hotel parking lot to the hotel were locked and there were no signs to explain. We walked around front and signs indicated entry after 9PM required a phone call. The lobby was very dimly lit and kind of creepy. There was no attendant immediately available. There were no other people present. The restaurant had a sign that it was permanently closed. Everything seemed in disrepair. We needed to walk back to the hotel about 10:30PM, after a nearby concert. Simply put, we did not feel safe. We didn't even bother checking in. We forfeited our $145 and found another hotel in a safer part of town. We would not recommend this hotel under any circumstances. It is a bit surprising that Expedia even offers this property.

We booked a king room through expedia. When we got to the hotel we stood at the front desk with a group of other people waiting to be helped. After 5 or so minutes a woman came out of an office behind the desk, wearing a pokemon shirt. No uniform, no professionalism. When it was our turn to be checked in, she notified us that our room had been over booked and there were no more king beds available. She offered to switch us to a queen bed room, but stated she "could not over ride the booking. Only a manager could do that" she then stated that the manager "wont answer phone calls or texts" but i would not be charged with a king room. I would only get charged for the queen room. She then had to figure out which rooms were clean, because she "had no idea what rooms are clean or dirty". After a while she came back down and assigned us a room. By the time we get to the room its already 8:30pm. We are exhausted,frustrated, and starving. We get to the room, and its a single twin matress room. We take a bunch of pictures of the room, room number, and matress and figure we will get it straightened out after dinner. We eat, we go back to the hotel and tell the same woman in the pokemon shirt tells me the twin matress room is the same price as the queen and she doesnt have a queen. But i can get a refund from expedia, because the manager wont answer calls. I contact expedia,what do you know. They tell me they can not do anything except reach out to the hotel. Been weeks. Still nothing.

Upon check-in the registration desk the clerk was unable to find my confirmed registration number. After repeated attempts to reach a live agent at Hotels.Com, I was finally able to make a connection. The Hotels.Com representative spoke directly to the hotel registration desk and was still unsuccessful in finding my confirmed reservation. Luckily the hotel was not sold out. We had to cancel my reservation from Hotels.Com and then make a new reservation directly at the hotel. This entire process was quite frustrating and stresssful as we were on a timeline to make it to a concert.
