An aging hotel
As soon as my friend and I parked in the parking lot, we were accosted by a panhandler. As we were checking in, another man came into the lobby and asked the desk clerk to call the police. We were unsettled but our reservation was non-refundable. The hotel lobby had a library like decor with lovely wood, bookcases and leather furniture. The carpet was old and stained as was the carpet in the rooms. Coffee was available in the morning and the staff was friendly. Basically, this hotel has seen better days.

Very clean and comfortable room. Out of order note on outer door of parking lot and elevator. Elevator was confirmed to work by a maid despite note. Neighborhood is mostly cement but it was only a short walk to downtown activities. For the price I would stay again.

Hotel was run down and not maintained well. TV didn't work. Shades didn't close. Elevator broke for a day. Everything was a little dingy. It wasn't sketchy, it just needs some love.

This is a hotel in the downtown district. The lobby is impressive, but the front desk is slow. The room could be cleaner. The blunds need to be changed and the old leather chair. The bathroom was clean and warm.

The only thing I liked about this hotel was the book den style lobby upon entering. The outside appearance lacks the overall aesthetics of a clean hotel. The inside represents that as well. This hotel is very outdated. A complete overhaul outside and inside is definitely needed! By far the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Thankfully, it was only for one night. Unfortunately, I will not recommend this hotel to anyone!

Wow has this place ever hit the skids. I've stayed here several times because I like supporting independent places, but I will not be back. It's a shame- this used to be a really neat hotel. Now it's dirty, outdated, there are broken elevators, doors, and ice machines, the carpet is loose, the faucets are loose, the easy chairs are gone in the rooms, and it generally looks like a seedy place. My blinds didn't even work properly. I suspect that housekeeping is doing the best with limited resources that they can. It seems like the owner has decided to run this place into the ground.

Luck of the draw. Stayed two separate nights and one night had an updated clean room and the other, a out of date room with dirty carpets, an older bathroom, etc. Decent rates so can't complain about that, but don't be surprised if the room you get isn't the cleanest.

Multiple stains on a carpet is never appealing in a suite, but my suite was comfortable, quiet, and clean otherwise.

Stayed here for 2 nights and the difference in the 2 rooms was night and day. One had a more up to date feel and I really enjoyed. The other, dirty carpet, older fixtures ans feel, just a complete opposite of the other room I stayed in. So I have to rate down the middle as you don't know what you'll walk into.

When we arrived around 9 pm to check in there were homeless people wandering around in its parking lot. The parking lot was connected to the rear of the hotel and the door seemed to be permanently sealed. We walked among homeless people to around the front of the hotel and the lobby was dirty and only one single light worked keeping it dark and dingy. The tired sole receptionist who was bzy explaining to another customer that there was no service personnel available to fix his room problems now, did not make eye contact with me but barked out “are you checking in”? There wa no hello welcome to mark twain hotel or any smile or pleasantries . We got 2 rooms. The first one did not have working AC so I called the reception but no one answered. I went and talk to the receptionist who told me they don’t answer their phone. Anyway she moved me to another room. This other room was dirty (bed was not made and looked like someone was sleeping there ) and stunk of tobacco. Meanwhile my son who was in other room called me to tell me there was no toilet paper and the towels were dirty with large brown stains and spots. At this point we went down to the receptionist and asked to be checked out and refunded. She told me she will not be able to refund me nor check me out till next morning but that we can leave and go to another hotel to sleep. She even gave some recommendations. She also said she will tell her manager next morning and so far I’ve not heard back from manager.

Have always stayed at Mark Twain when going to events in Peoria. It has slowly declined over the years. Use to have a bar and restaurant in it. They have both closed. The carpet throughout the building is filthy. Love the location. I did hear it was sold and going to be renovated. It needs it.
