Comfort Inn

Very nice for the price. Checked in late with a dog and they were so kind to us. I was pleasantly surprised. The bed was comfortable, and the room was spacious. Breakfast was okay, and the room was nice, the carpet looked a little old but overall I would stay here again.

This place was clean & quiet, just what you’re looking for in a hotel. There’s a great Thai place in downtown Dixon, not far from this place, if you’re into that (Touch of Thai). Staff are courteous & pleasant. I’d stay here again for sure. Near Ronald Reagan’s birthplace home, as well !

I think its important to rate a business based in part on its subcategory and target audience. The best steak and shake in North America doesn’t deserve 3 stars because it’s fast food it deserves 5 for being the best at what it is.
Same with this Comfort Inn. This isn’t the Palmer House or the Soho Grand; it’s a budget-​mid hotel chain in a smallish town by the interstate. And it’s perfect at what it is. This is our 4^th stay here and it seems to get better in little ways each time.
This time we were given a room which did not face the bright parking lot– good for kids at 3 am. There were nice cookies at checkin. Kaylee at the front desk was extra welcoming and came out to meet our dog and the free hot breakfast was awesome. The room was great and you never realize how great it is to have a high functioning fridge and microwave until you really need them. This time the crib came with a really cute baby blanket that my wife and I noticed right away and the crib was in the room when we arrived which is crucial when you’re coming in late.
We stay here because we have to when we are visiting family in the area. I never thought we’d come to really like it!

Overnight accommodations are limited in this small town, so don’t expect much. This hotel used to be two hotels with one side being a QuAlity Inn and the other being a Comfort inn. This explains why one pool area and one «front desk area» are both awkwardly blocked off.
Rooms have been updated and the place is clean. Breakfast is cheap and sucks pretty bad.
I come back when I work in the area, but prefer to stay in the Sterling/​Rock falls hotels whenever possible.

Stayed here for work a lot over the couple of months and seeing as Dixon is extremely limited on hotel choices I was forced to try the lesser of two evils. Several words can be used to describe this place. Rundown, Musty, Smokey (even in non smoking rooms), overpriced (considering the for mentioned words). Staff is pleasant and accommodating as long as we are not talking about the overnight front desk clerk who has the personality of a wet sponge. All this I could and have over looked and have gotten passed. Until my last stay which I will simply describe in two simple words totaling seven letters «bed bugs». Came home from my week of work with twelve bites that still itch like there is no tomorrow. Needless to say this week I am staying down the road in Rock Falls.

Travelling the Lincoln Highway, we needed to stop in Dixon, and ended up at this Comfort Inn. I’ve stayed at several places on this trip, and this hotel had the comfiest beds by far. They seemed to have just finished upgrading the place, even a fresh paint smell in the rooms. Clean, comfortable, would definitely recommend this place to others.
They even have some kitschy nooks on the upper level with memorabilia and a mural of the three Illinois presidents: Lincoln, Grant and Regan.

I stayed at this hotel every week from July 2011 to June 2012. My friend and I were always welcomed and had clean rooms. We never had a single issue during the entire time. The breakfast was always very good; eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns, fruit, and the breakfast staff was sweet. Yes the gym is small, but who cares. The pool and hot tub were amazing. I would definitely be back here if I am ever in the middle of nowhere again.

I had no idea what to expect when I booked a room at this hotel for a wedding I attended recently. I am a loyal Marriott person and use Hilton as my back-​up, so the Comfort Inn was foreign to me.
Upon checking in I noticed what an out-​of-​date hotel this is. They don’t even have automatic doors for the main door at check-​in, not surprisingly, hand opening 2 sets of doors while trying to carry all of your suit cases in an out is a pain! The lobby smelled musty and a bit like smoke, but I assumed that was just because it was close to the front door and people smoke outside. I was wrong however since I checked into my non-​smoking room to find out that it too smelled stale and smoky.
The room, other than the smell, was clean but falling apart a bit. The ceiling in the bathroom had a hole in it where it looked like the plaster had fallen down and the wallpaper was peeling in multiple locations. The mattresses, though not the worst I’ve ever slept on, were hard as a rock and not easy to sleep on. The bedding also was a bit dated but clean.
I went down one morning for breakfast, there were apples and yogurt for healthy options and plenty of coffee so that was good. I believe there was oatmeal and cereal as well so that’s nice. The group I was with seemed to find the breakfast acceptable over all.
The fitness center was tiny. I guess beggars can’t be choosers… I was just glad there was a fitness center. There were 2 treadmills and one other machine I believe. There was no TV and the treadmills didn’t have TV built in like they do at most hotels.

Given that this hotel is only one of two options… the Super 8 being the other, I would stay here if in the area. If you can stay in a different town however, I would suggest that since I’m sure there are better properties with-​in a 25mi. radius.

When you leave the Chicago area and venture into the vast flatlands of Western Illinois, you realize you’re in a different place. Sometimes you find some real gems and sometimes you just settle for whatever is out there. Dixon has always been a bit off-​center. Like it was a secret dumping site for nuclear waste or a viral warfare experiement gone bad.
This Comfort Inn is in process of being converted and upgraded. My guess is that the hotel, or at least part of it, was a Quality Inn. So there is an entrance up front, and there is a vacated former entryway in back. Front desk features slightly spooky Hitchcockesque innkeepers. Room is reasonably nice but has that «cheap hotel» feel about it. Very stark bathroom, sink is located outside the bathroom out in the entryway. Room did have a flat screen TV but there was no desk to work on. Had to make do with what appeared to be a dining table. Hotel is supposed to be smoke free but furniture featured cigarette burns. But the most important saving feature was that the matresses were nice and firm. Sheets however were overly starched and scratchy.
Hotel is in process of changing so there are little things that are a bit disorienting. There are large rooms with the windows blocked off with paper. Pool is large and family freindly. Weirdest thing about the pool is that there is what appears to be a metal ducking stool so the wheelchair bound can enjoy a dip. There is mini water park type setup on the other end of the pool.
Breakfast is a decent experience. They have eggs, sausage, and tater tots. Storebought little donuts and muffins and cold cereal. But you can’t forget your breakfast coupon, they won’t let you in without it. They have two nice ladies overseeing the whole breakfast experience. Only beef I have with breakfast is that the eating area is pretty crowded. Too many tables in a small space.
Like most inexpensive hotels, this is OK for an overnight stay. Price for a room is about $ 80. There are better hotels for multinight stays.

Nice clean hotel, the breakfast exceeded expectations! The nice ladies run an excellent buffet, really great!
