Baymont Inn And Suites Morton

We recently traveled to Morton for a family funeral, and this was the only hotel in town that had any available rooms. Immediately upon arrival we were disappointed with the quality of the hotel and with the lack of friendliness from the staff. Upon entering the room, however, is where the true disappointment began:
Room Overall:
1. The room reeked of urine or mold.
2. The wallpaper was peeling from the walls in several places.
3. The mattress and sheets had what was either a blood stain or a pizza sauce stain in multiple areas (I’m telling myself it was pizza sauce).
4. The décor is nauseating at best with so many different styles of wallpaper, art, flooring, draperies, and paint just crammed into one little space. It was hideous to say the least.
5. The AC unit was not providing enough cooling and could not be adjusted to make the room a comfortable temperature.
6. The shower water pressure was extremely weak, and made the process take forever.
«HOT BREAKFAST»
1. The scrambled «eggs» provided were clearly powdered eggs with no flavor or consistency to speak of.
2. The sausage patties tasted like they had been rewarmed several times. I wonder if they were from the previous day.
3. The bread and bagels were clearly «day old» at best. Dry and stale.
4. The make your own waffle area was filthy and the waffle mix was in a dirty Rubbermaid container that I would not feed my dog from.
5. The quantities of all items were insufficient to provide for all the guests. The staff constantly had to go microwave (gross) more sausage and eggs to keep the supply going. Many angry guests left, not wanting to wait to eat the disgusting «food».
The bottom line for me is that this hotel is old, dated, poorly maintained, and frankly filthy. I’m certain this place would not pass a health department inspection of any kind. Furthermore, when we inquired to the staff about the smell of our room, the AC cooling problem, the stains on our mattress, and our dissatisfaction with the breakfast, we were met with rudeness and a general uncaring attitude each time. They clearly don’t care about taking care of their guests, and the property and the service have suffered as a result. Do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere.

the bed was sooo super comfortable. the room was pretty nice, it had a mini fridge & microwave. the pool was tiny & really cold & there was no hot tub. breakfast was a typical continental breakfast. the lady at the front desk for our check in was really nice.

The location was great and the recepcionist nice, that’s why I am giving 2 stars. The room was average, the sink was just at the entrance of the room… a bit wierd. The bathroom was not really clean, there was woman hair on the floor. The pool does not have a shower to shower yourself before get into the pool (no hygienic!).Breakfast did not include healthy choices at all! I would not stay at this hotel again as price is high for the quality you get!

It was nothing more than a place to sleep … And not a very good one at that. Too much noise in the hall carries into the room. No elevator to the second floor. They didn’t even want to provide me a receipt when I checked out, saying since I booked online I could print it online. Not friendly for business or family travel. I won’t be staying here again.

Clean hotel in a safe area. Next to a few chain restaurants. Nice friendly staff. Comfortable beds, rooms with fridge, microwave and desk. Can’t really say anything negative. A good road stay.

If all you are looking for is a bed and a locked hotel room door*! This is the place.
The folks running it seem to be nice but really knew nothing about the town. Meaning they asked me why I was visiting and I said the The Pumpkin Festival being held in downtown! Blank stare and then asked me what was going on in which I explained that since about 1968 the town had a very large 4 day festival in downtown and again I was asked where! Well the only real landmark since I can remember is the Dairy Queen located right on Main St. and the area where the Festival is held. At which time they wanted to give me direction to the Dairy Queen which I already knew along with the Festival. EEOKAY moving on.
As you enter the hotel off the lobby you get that sweet sanitized smokey smell you get when you enter a hotel that allows smoking on one side of the hall and not the other.
My room was clean albeit for the most part did not look nothing like the «website» photo’s that made it look a lot nicer than the other places I didn’t stay at!
Décor is late 80’s looking wallpaper with a flowerdy border. Almost all the seems of the wallpaper in my room were peeling and or bubbled open.
AC ran all the time even with it being 40 degree lows and 60 highs outside the room never really cooled of… At all.
Very nice purple 1980’s recliner, No coach as pictured on the website.
As said by another review if someone was in the room above you plan on hearing there feet walking all the time.
The bathroom honestly had the smallest toilet of which I ever sat on. Which was barely there at all and admitted I am a big guy but that stool was. well. tiny.
Shower curtain had mold and mildew on it.
It looks to be a completely family run facility with several members of one large family cleaning, and working the desk area.
It also includes an indoor pool and also a washer and dryer.
If you noted above my denote about «locked hotel room door*»
The rear entrance to the hotel itself seemed to be unlocked all hours of the night! I was in town for 4 days at the Festival and routinely didn’t get back until Midnight 1 or 2 AM and it was never locked.
So your hotel room door was locked but not the HOTEL itself.
Wi-​Fi not really sure but the entire time I stayed it would take up to 4 times and maybe a reboot to get onto the hotel Wi-​Fi! Not putting the blame completely on the hotel buuuut never had the issue before nor since I have left.
Well I stay here again? More than likely NO!

Our family stayed at the Morton Baymont for two nights on both ends of a riverboat trip in Peoris. We made our reservations through Kayak/​Travelocity and prepaid for both nights. We have been making hotel and airline reservations through third party companies for years and have never run into a problem. On the first date, we arrived after a 7 ½ hour drive and we were notified by the person working at the front desk that the General Manager, Ap Patel, had attached a note to our reservation asking the person on duty to collect another $ 7 for each of our children. Our confirmation was for a room for 4 adults with 2 queen beds. We did not understand this request and did not pay it. We checked out early to be in Peoria for a 7:00 AM boarding on the Spirit of Peora river boat. For the next stay, we arrived late at night with the same problem and were detained for over half an hour while the clerk, and then another person, dealt with someone with Travelocity on the phone. We tried to explain that this was not our problem if the company is not charging correct rates for the hotel. The other person at the desk also told us that the rate isn’t even that great and that because we are AAA members, it would only amount to a few dollars difference. So I’m wondering what kind of business practice it is to inconvenience guests in such a way over what amounts to about $ 7 total on a room charge. We own rental cabins in a vacation area and the future lost business or bad reviews on Unilocal or Tripadvisor makes this incomprehensible.
Need towels without stains. Our A/​C had to be set at 62 in one room in order to cool.
Beds are nice.

ITS OK

Check in was friendly and the room was fine. There are a few restaurants within walking distance.
Our only problem was that we were on the first floor, and whoever was on the second floor above us was clomping back and forth across the floor until well after we turned the lights out, and again starting around 5 a.m.
Breakfast offerings included pastries, cereal, juice, yogurt, fruit, sausage, eggs and the like.
