Peoria Marriott Pere Marquette

Even giving 1 start is too much
I have platinum membership with Marriotts and I am almost out 100 + days every year worldwide, and I prefer Marriotts over the others.
This stay has been the worst that I have had, I left my laundry on Friday morning, which had all my shirts for the following week as this was a very long trip of three weeks, when I came back on Friday I did not find my laundry, when called the front desk they said they did not send it but they will make sure this goes on Saturday.
Sunday came by but I did not get my cloths back, now the managers comes on the phone and she told the bag never felt the hotel and it’s still sitting in the hotel and they can only get them done by Monday evening.
I got the bag back and today is Sunday so no one in the town is open to clean and deliver, I landed up spending $ 350 to buy shirts and basics garments.
When you are charging so much for your room, make sure you up your customer service, and not even once the manager was sorry for the mistake .
I have booked for 9 nights and I am checking out of this hotel today itself

Will never visit this hotel again. The staff couldn’t keep up with the chaos during cheerleading season. My guess is this is the place to go for all school sporting events. So, if you desire a more traditional stay at a hotel, you will not find it here. The walls were thin, and the hotel guests thought their rooms were in the hallway, not their rooms. And, sadly, most of the noise came from the chaperones, not the kids.

My suspicions were first aroused when I walked into my room and noticed the DUST on the headboard, lamps and nightstand. It was quickly followed by a blood spot on the sheet, hairs on the sheets, a black smudge on one of the towels and a drain that would not drain until I cleaned it out. This is a MARRIOTT? It started with a call to the front desk to report the «Toe jam and Skittles (candy!!), on the floor. They must have scoured the area for people with vision issues for housekeeping. When I told the front desk about the carpet being dirty ther was a long silence. I then asked him if they normally vacuum the rooms after someone checks out and he replied yes and sent a young man up to vacuum it. Mind you, this is like the «Crown Jewel» when in downtown Peoria. The walls are VERY thin, FYI, as can be attested to the amorus couple in the next room (1:30 AM one day, 9:30PM another). The in room coffee is cheap hot and black and resembles coffee only in looks, The teas were fine. Had breakfast during a business meeting while there and, yes, the eggs were powdered and the sausage was rubbery and greasy. I ate better in the Army 35 years ago. The grand room where our meeting was held was a sight, but the ceiling had water damage and that was all I could fix my sight on as well as a column topper missing. Too bad, really. The room we stayed in was VERY small and you just about had to go out in the hall to change your mind. It’s very tough to leave this old restored motel such a low star rating but the next time I’m in town for a business meeting, I will be staying elsewhere. By the way, we had a wonderful stay the last three days prior at the Courtyard by Marriott in Naperville. No comparisons between the two!

Very nice hotel! Nice waitstaff who checked us in quickly and was very friendly. The room was very clean and nice and bright. Loved the bathroom and the giant shower! Tried to get a drink in the bar and they did not have enough waitstaff so we ended up going somewhere else.

All around great hotel. I’m from Peoria, & I always remember the Pere Marquette being a nice, upscale, though aging hotel. Marriott has done a wonderful job putting it back to the hotel that it should be.
The rooms are very nicely appointed, many of them have awesome glass walk in showers. Clean, modern, yet classy & most of them quite large with high ceilings.
The bedding is your standard fare Marriott bedding which I have come to love for its comfort & consistency whenever I travel.
Parking is easy as there’s a parking deck attached to the hotel via walkway.
Food selections are good. From in room dining to a nice restaurant in the lobby. The bar in the lobby is also good. I’ve gotten to know a few of the people working in that area & they’re very friendly & attentive.

Very nice! The feather top beds and billowing feather pillows will definitely keep you in the clouds, but i just can’t bring myself to give this 5 stars since Marriott doesn’t seem to want to offer the amenities that other hotels almost as nice in much lesser price ranges right down the street offer, (mark twain hotel) such as a complimentary wi fi and breakfast. Be prepared to not only shell out $ 250+ taxes per night but $ 10 per day for basic internet access. They do have complimentary parking, but I imagine once they get the walkway completed it will no longer be free. Right now it’s rather inconvenient. I enjoy Marriott’s for the beds, but the value just isn’t there for the working class. Welcome to the real world, eh? ;) #CorporateAmerica

Looking for a grand hotel to stay at in Peoria?
Well this ought to be one you consider. Located down town, the Pere Marquette has a history of famous guests including US Presidents.
The rooms are a grand size equipped with TV and coffee making facilities. Mine was a suite with a sofa, coffee table and desk.
The service is good, and the restaurant boasts a classy bar and restauarant. Breakfast is a full on affair with a large choice of hot food, cold, cereals, bread and fruit. Better if you’ve got time to enjoy it, but fine if you don’t.
With wifi available in all rooms this a good choice to stay in if on business or on leisure.
