The Starved Rock Lodge was full. This property is owned by the same group and convenient to book through the same reservations desk. It's about a 5 minute drive north of Starved Rock State Park, and easy to find. The Starved Rock Inn reminds one of a motel of the 60s. The rooms are typical of that type of accommodation:... More

We stayed at the Starved Rock Inn because the Starved Rock Lodge was over twice the money! It is not far from the park--only a 5 minute drive, so not being right in the park was not a big deal. The room was clean and had everything we needed, but it was no frills. It was very quiet. The staff... More

The room was impeccably clean and adorably furnished. Our night was quiet. The distance to the state park was convenient. But what inspired me to write this was the fact that after we accidentally left the lights on in our car and our battery died, the staff at the Inn went out of their way to get us going again....

I love Starved Rock State Park! Three years ago I was married and decided for the first annv. we would go to starved rock. The lodge was full so we stayed at the Inn. I was so happy about the price. Well we didnt spend much time in the room because that was not what we were there for. The... More

This place is a dump and DANGEROUS. The way they distribute keys tells me just about anybody has keys to your room. Avoid this hotel if you value safety. Also the staff was rude, the room was "rustic filthy" and the bathroom was gross.

I chose the Inn over the main lodge because it was $20 cheaper and the cheapest rate in the area for the night I was there. I was going for the purpose of hiking at Starved Rock and just needed a place to sleep close by. It was a only a 5 minute drive to Starved Rock Park which was... More

Note that my ratings are based on comparisons to other budget hotels. With the low cost of the rooms here, all we hoped was that the room would be clean and the bed comfortable. Check and check. On top of that, the staff were very friendly, the room had satellite TV and a coffee maker, and the gift shop/winery on... More

We stayed at the Starved Rock Inn mainly because of the price. It is a drive into town & Starved Rock but not a big deal. When we arrived, although our key was supposed to be accessible to us, it was not. We arrived after the gift shop had closed so had to go to Starved Rock Park hotel to... More

We ended up staying at the Starved Rock Inn, because the Starved Rock Lodge (located inside the park) was not available for the two days we wanted to stay. The Inn is OK. The rooms are basic motel rooms with sort of a rustic decor. The main complaint is that it was still somewhat pricey ($135.00 for two nights), and... More
