I’ve been to a few of the different hotels in the area, and I find myself coming back when I'm in the area. This hotel is very unique in its decor in both the common areas and in the bedrooms. The staff was very friendly, and it had a good breakfast buffet. I know I’ll be staying there again.

After reading some of the reviews, we were worried about staying at the Chateau. However, we really had no choice since a couple of friends were being inducted into the Illinois Basket Ball Coaches Hall of Fame and the entire group was staying here. Our room was on the main floor with two queen beds, carpet was descent and bathroom... More

Location is great. Several shopping centers nearby. On site restaurant with gym and pool in the basement. Comfortable beds and very nice rooms. The front desk staff was very courtious even though I was a bit of a jerk due to a rough day. The general manager even came out to help me locate a locksmith when I locked my... More

I stay at hotels all over the country...and was pleasantly surprised when I arrived at the Chateau. It was not the cookie-cutter same ol' hotel. The deco was very interesting and fun to explore. The staff was very nice and helpful. The morning breakfast was good...but would have loved some Soy Milk (I'm a vegan). The hotel bar menu is... More

I liked the unique look and decor of the hotel. It was a nice change from your standard hotel. Having said that though, the hotel looks like it is undergoing renovations or needs some. There was a very strong chlorine smell upon entering the lobby. I booked a room with a king-size bed. I felt as if the room was... More

Stayed one night only as we were traveling through town. Rates were very reasonable and included full breakfast the next morning. Restaurant was closed for remodeling so dinner was available in the lounge. Bartender was excellent, very friendly and food at her craft. Hotel was unique with lot's of antiques. Not your normal boxy hotel. Had a great stay for... More

I specifically asked if the pool would be "warm" when I booked the room over the phone and again upon arrival face to face. Brr!!!!! The pool was an important factor and I couldn't even force myself to get into the water. Our family was there to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday and he wouldn't even get in! I chose... More

Over the years I've stayed at several Jumer properties in Illinois and Iowa in addition to staying here at the Chateau several times over the past 20 years. From the beginning the french chateau theme was never quite "with" the german theme found in the other Jumer's. Now this place is showing it's age, wear and tear, and deferred maintenance.... More
