Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Effingham, IL

Multiple guests reported cleanliness issues: dirty rooms, disgusting carpet, hair in the bathroom, and a third-floor marijuana smell; one review noted no hot water and a non-working bathroom vent leading to wet surfaces.

Consistently praised staff: friendly and helpful front desk, quick welcoming check-in, and excellent breakfast attendants (specific shout-out to Caroline and a sweet attendant refilling breakfast).

Many reviewers cited a convenient location near the interstate and event venues, well-lit exterior and easy access to restaurants/stores; one parking concern (birds in nearby trees) noted but minor overall.

Mixed room quality: several reports of uncomfortable/hard beds, old mattresses and pillows needing replacement, noisy AC, inaccurate online room descriptions, and one unintended ADA room assignment.

Amenities received strong praise: jacuzzi/pool/hot tub consistently described as great, relaxing, and well-maintained; pool access and early opening were appreciated.

Multiple guests highlighted very good rates and strong value for the price, calling it a good option for the location and needs.

Breakfast was frequently praised (many called it great or outstanding and complimented staff), though some noted issues like room-temperature juices, limited fresh fruit options, and coffee that was less than ideal.

Overall sentiment is very positive — many guests reported enjoyable or very satisfied stays thanks to friendly staff, good amenities, and convenient location despite some cleanliness and room-quality issues.
