Very good

I had a great experience...

Liked: Staff was super friendly and the breakfast was great!
Disliked: Everything was great! No dislikes about my experience.

Basic Best Western that still...

Liked: The location of the Saluki Inn is on a main thoroughfare coming into town. It's easy to find, but its location does put it some distance from SIU. It is an older -- and, I believe -- family run Best Western. The building has seen better days, but the staff keeps the rooms clear and comfortable, and they do impressive things (the pool) with limited space. Best hotel experience in Carbondale.
Disliked: Some carpets are threadbare, some walls need a fresh court of paint. It is a pre-Best Western + inn, and management does good things with what it has. Breakfast is unremarkable.

Very pleased. Would stay again...

Liked: Very neat and clean. No issues.
Disliked: The heater in the pool was broken and that was one of the main reasons we booked this particular hotel.

We still had a good...

Liked: The Hotel was quiet and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good.
Disliked: The only thing I was very disappointed in was that the Pool wasn't heated and we had kids with us. We choose to stay there because they advertised that they had a indoor pool. The pool was sooooooo cold no one could get in, not even our feet.
