Top Carbondale Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Carbondale

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room. At breakfast they could have maybe some yogurt? A toaster & maybe some bread."

Delightful Cabin near a wildlife refuge, 6 miles to Carbondale Illinois.

10/10 Excellent

"Delightful is just the beginning of what this cabin has to offer! It’s charming, relaxing, and the perfect place to disconnect while reconnecting. Linda and Jon were wonderful hosts—great to communicate with and clearly made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.The cabin was fully stocked with all the kitchen, linen, and bathroom essentials, so we truly didn’t want for anything. The property itself is beautiful, with plenty of cozy seating areas to relax and enjoy the surroundings. We especially loved being able to pick fresh vegetables from the garden!We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful, charming getaway."

Quality Inn Carbondale University area

8/10 Good

"It’s a solid budget hotel. It’s not run down but it’s also not a resort either. Everything in the room worked as expected and the staff was quick to address the tv remote issue. A good solid place to sleep. Didn’t check out the breakfast, not a breakfast person."
