Moby Dick Motel

Stay was great and the owners/staff are extremely... EXTREMELY, concerned with ensuring ALL accommodations are top priority and work with every patron making you feel as if you are the only customer that is important. Very cozy, homelike atmosphere.... Very family oriented.

I need a place to stay last minute for three nights. I didn't know quite what to expect as the rates here were unbelievably cheap. I can't tell you how pleasantly surprised I was that the room was so clean and me in modernized. Very very pleased with my stay here and highly recommended and compared to other motels and motels one would never expect such a nice place for the low rates they charge...

My mom, sister, & I spent the night there on October 6, 2022. The room was fantastic. A nice closet, microwave, fridge, nice walk in shower, 4 dressers for storage. The room was very clean. You could park right outside your room. Derek was great. He brought us Extra towels & asked us if we needed anything else. He deserves a big fat raise. I live in Polo, Illinois but if I were in this area again I would definitely stay there. The room cost $110.

Great little eclectic motel. Nothing fancy. We were in town for a 40th birthday party for family and needed a room as my cousins house was full of other family. She recommended this place and we were not dissapointed. Its not a chain hotel but it is SUPER, SUPER, clean. Not a spec of dust anywhere, rug immaculate, furnishings in the room older but full of personality, ( our bed was an old four poster) bed sheets and bed cover linens crisp and clean. Pillows clean. The room space itself and bath area very spacious,and again i hate to keep saying this but bathroom too was amazingly clean. Ive stayed in higher priced places for 3 times the rate that were not this spotless. Kudos to the staff and owner!!! The four poster bed mattress was very comfortable. Flat screen TV had plenty of channels for mindless surfing. We stayed here in July and it was humid and hot out. The Air conditioning in the room worked beautifully. I was almost too cold. This room was Just what we needed after a long hot day. 5 stars and will stay here again if in the area...Recommended for those who just need a room to sleep. This is not a hotel that offers alot of amenities like the larger chains. If you just want/need a great clean room, bed, and bath for an affordable rate this place is for you.

Even though you're near a busy road, the rooms are clean and quiet. And reasonably priced as well.

Very clean place. Very respectful employees. The housekeeper is he up most respectable woman. And she cleans the room the best I've seen in any hotel. Great place to stay.

This motel complex is a hidden gem that few know about! Very clean, very courteous, the rooms are very comfortable, and have everything you need. They're pet friendly...just let them know up front. Head on over...tell Nina and Renae that Melissa and Christian sent you!

Before I begin, I will write two separate reviews. This one is for my stay from last summer with suggestions after it. I originally posted this on the Motel's Facebook Page last year as well. I visited someone who was staying here the last summer. It has an old-school charm about it. The Wifi is decient and all the single bed rooms (Full, Queen and King) come with a refrigerator (with a freezer) so dropping by one of the food stores up the road wouldn't be a bad idea if you don't want to eat out during your stay at the motel. Each room also comes with an Air Conditioner, a Microwave and yes a TV with premium channels. A Government ID (Driver's License, State ID, Military, Passport, etc.) is needed to book a room but they do accept cash as a form of payment and the rate's $90 during peak season and $80 offseason. Perfect for someone who is frugal, doesn't want to use their credit card and just needs a room for a night or two. They take $5 off if you have a Student ID as well (it's fine if the Student ID is expired, they just need to see it).
