Very nice individual at the front desk who greeted me and quickly checked me in. I was a little worried at first because it was so affordable but I have to say it is one of the cleanest places I have stayed in. Bed was comfortable and the shower was very clean. Absolutely would stay here again. My stay was a just to sleep and shower and back on the road so no thrills just rest and shower.

The location of the motel is convenient--only 3 minutes from Carthage. It's about what you'd expect for a roadside motel. The room was comfortable and spacious, with a refrigerator and microwave. Housekeeping service was prompt and reliable. The room, while old, was great for a stopover while driving through Illinois. The on-site manager was pleasant, engaging, and friendly. For a comfortable stay driving through Illinois, I'd absolutely be willing to stay here again

Very kind older gentleman, English was no his native language, but he made up for it in graciousness. On a road that includes an auto wake up call ( sun up traffic) at no extra charge. Very good bargain- would stay there again.

The room was really clean with vintage decor from the early 80’s. The bed was comfortable and linens were soft and clean. Also the price was excellent. It’s a classic motor hotel.

If it wasn’t so late and weren’t so tired, we would have not stayed here. Owners have not spent a cent to update this creepy hotel. It feels like the 80’s. The pillows were horribly old and flat too. My husband slept fully clothed because he was worried about bugs and kept his suitcase in the car so his change of clothes wouldn’t smell like the old motel.

It was difficult to understand the language barrier. My biggest issue was NO PRIVACY. Only Vertical blinds with gaps, no curtains so I had to dress in the bathroom. The air conditioner was too high on the wall so he gave me a chair to stand on (made me nervous as a senior but at least I didn't fall). The bed was comfortable, room was clean and it was very affordable.

I had to get a hotel last minute for a minor change in our travel plans. I needed it to be cheap due to the unexpected cost. So I booked the Prairie Winds Motel and for the price, I could not have been happier. It was in a safe location, surrounded by corn. It was easy access off the highway. It was clean and did not have a smell. The price was very cheap and the view of the sunset, over the corn, was gorgeous. For the price and service, I highly recommend this hotel. I am a light sleeper and it was silent. I never heard anything all night.

We stayed for 3 nights. Was a very nice place. Very comfortable. The only thing I did not like us the owner kept showing up at our door and would not knock he would just try to get in. Luckily I kept our screen door locked but still with four ladies in the room I did not think it was appropriate.
