Manor Hotel

Friendly staff, clean rooms, and good prices. Not fancy but has some character. A decent place to stay; if you want luxury they have jacuzzi rooms.
I tried to book online and found no available rooms. I called and got a room for $ 61 no problem. So, call for reservations.

In a 2011 Channahon-​Minooka Patch newspaper article about the Manor Motel, the current owner is quoted as saying the place was «built like a bomb shelter,» referring to the structure and the layout.
It’s true. You may want to duck and cover when you first get a glance at the interior upon entering the main building. Lots of browns, oranges, yellows, and ghastly flowers pepper the place, and remind you of a 70’s lounge that may have been booked by Murph & the Magic-​Tones of The Blues Brothers fame.
But then you get to your room, and it’s apparent that there has been a concerted effort to update things with a more modern look. Fresh carpet, paint, and wallpaper in our room invited us inside to stay and relax awhile. Each room has a 25″ LCD tv, with a mini-​fridge and even mini-​er microwave. The wifi was spotty at best, but I was able to post a few social media updates for my fundraising campaign for the following day’s Warrior Dash down the street, which is what brought us to the Manor in the first place.
I’ve had reservations (ha!) about staying in non-​chain hotels in the past, but I can honestly say I didn’t feel grossed out by sleeping on the floor in my sleeping bag here. With a few 24-​hr gas stations and a Subway and Dunkin’ Donuts across the street, pre-​race snacks and libations were never far away, and it is located directly off I-​55, for drivers who can’t fight off sleep for one more mile.
Get your kicks on Rt. 6 (and Historic Route 66), and have a royally inexpensive time ($ 60 on a Friday night) at the Manor.
