Hotel a Cowden

“The room was clean and bed comfortable. Curtains did not go down far enough to block the light. Only one small bar of soap for both the shower and sink. My husband had to fix the toilet handle as it was ready to fall off. The breakfast was very sad: eggs watery, sausage spicy, biscuits and gravy cold. Coffee was good. This part does not have anything to do with the breakfast itself, but one child old enough to know better, kept putting his hands down his shorts, sneezing, and picking his nose...

“We had an OK stay. Our room colors were gray and it gave off a dingy look and feel. Not bright and cheerful. They have a vent in the ceiling blowing out cold air - the AC. The vent is by the window / but also blows on the bed, which made sleeping a bit difficult. Cold air was blowing on me all night - could not shut it off, as needed the cool air throughout the night to cool the room. For the size of the hotel the breakfast eating area is quite small. It can be difficult to find a...

“Property & room were clean & well kept. Staff was friendly & helpful. Due to a previous tornado, the pool was not yet ph balanced for use. The dining room was beautiful but the food offered was less than desirable, we checked out without eating.”

“Clean room, as solo traveller felt safe. Plenty of parking”

“It is being remodeled.”

“Would stay again”

“Clean room. Very loud HVAC. Front desk personnel need more training so that room numbers are not announced when key cards are presented. People standing nearby should not be treated to instant knowledge of one's arrangements. Complimentary breakfast was a joke. Nasty assortment of junky micro-pastries, a few personal packets of peanut butter, what looked like pre-cooked mystery omelets waiting in the small fridge for reheating, some sugary cereals, and not much else. Nice people, but this...

“Didn’t have coffee available in the room and room could use some fumigation.”

“Staff is always helpful and welcoming.”

“The staff was extremely friendly. I’m always uncomfortable when I’m somewhere unfamiliar and they made us feel welcome.”

“Second time staying here. Staff is friendly and helpful. Clean room and linens. Breakfast offerings are typical generic fair. Dry cereal, pastries, scrambled eggs, waffle maker, etc. They did have a very, very nice selection of lovely high-quality teas available. Orange juice was very good.”

“Great stay, would definitely recommend if traveling with kids.”

“Friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast buffet had hot/cold options but I was a bit disappointed that apples were the only fruit available on in July. That’s a minor complaint, though.”

“Personally, I feel the Shelby Inn is a bait and switch. The pictures and write up of the "historic inn" make one think they are staying in some cool historic building, while the room I got was in a motel immediately behind the inn itself... The room was clean, and the location was very convenient, but I was shocked pulling up to my room and realizing I spent $152 for a night in a room in a motel in Shelbyville, Illinois...”

“For the price I got a clean bed, cool ac, and everything I needed for a good rest.”

“Yummy breakfast, accommodating staff, clean rooms! I do wish our bathroom had a fan to help with humidity during/after showers.”

“Room was clean, but a bit dated. Breakfast was ok, but hot food wasn’t great. Worst thing was the incredibly loud, creaky elevator that was close to my room!”

“Air conditioner doesn't work effectively. No Internet service. Room was clean , beds comfortable. Everything else was great.”

“Have a dampness to the room. In the carpet - dampness. Ceiling - water spots”
