The hotel stay was decent! They have many places for Kids! Excellent for families! They have a indoor pool! Very nice! They have a good breakfast! Nice rooms. Comfy place to stay for a couple of nights! Also very close to the fairgrounds! About 3 mins away from Walmart and food stores! Even clothing stores as well! I enjoyed myself! Thank you! 

Decent

Clean, quiet, convenient to town. Staff friendly and helpful. Down side is zero WiFi and zero laundry facilities as advertised on their website. Our room and bed are very comfortable and we enjoy the DirecTv which is what we have at home.  The breakfast is OK, mostly carbs with little protein, very good coffee.

Nice Place To Stay

We recently spent 3 nights here. My final decision in choosing this hotel over others in the area were a pool and free breakfast. No breakfast was served and the indoor pool was green with visibly dirty sides. I inquired about breakfast and was told there were not enough rooms booked to offer breakfast. I asked about the pool on the first day and was told, "they just need to shock it, they do that at night" the pool remained green throughout our stay.
I had read review regarding broken elevator, its still broken.
Other than the above our stay was pleasant, the room was clean, and actually roomy compared to some I have stayed in. The fridge and microwave appeared old but were working. 
We would stay again if needed.

Misleading/False advertising

A friend made the reservations so it was our only option due our last minute decision to go on the trip.  The exterior of the hotel had massive weeds and that enough told me the inside would be just as bad.   The desk clerk was over worked and happy to tell us.  We had a room on the 2nd floor and the  elevator was broken.   We had trouble almost every time we used a room key.  At times the door wouldn't even lock.  Our room smelled musty.   Mold inside in the  picture fram above the bed.   A large pink spot on one wall.  A poorly done  patch job on the drywall by the bathroom.  The bed..... a hole in one of the sheets.  The blanket looked like it was from the Brady Bunch house.  Old and pilly.  No bugs.  Candy wrappers behind the night stand.  Cobwebs in the corner of the ceiling.  The tv worked when it felt like it.  A lady I chatted with in the parking lot said because the hotel is so close to the fairgrounds she overlooks the  issues the hotel obviously has.  For me to stay again I would  bring my swiffer, a sweeper, my own bedding and a big can of lysol.  I'd rather pay a little more and avoid issue after issue.  Everyone has their own standards for a hotel and the Fairgrounds Inn does not pass my checklist .  When I can't sleep because of the issues I cant recommend it .

Keep looking.  Where's the health department?

After reading other reviews I was prepared for the worst, but was pleasantly surprised. The building itself was fairly nice for this style of hotel. The rooms were large and clean and the beds pretty comfortable. They just need a bit more attention to detail. A lot of light bulbs were blown, including 2 in my room and 2 in the entry awning that flickered and buzzed constantly. The alarm clock was broken, an electrical outlet was not working, and there was not a stopper in the sink. The hotel was also very noisy, even at 3:00 AM. I will stay there again if I visit DuQuoin, because the other options looked much worse.

Not bad for DuQuoin

Cleanliness is lacking, hair in the bed, not just one or two, but close to a dozen.  Also, hair all over the bathroom.  Thankful this will be our only trip to this location.  Happiness is seeing the Fairground Inn in our rear view mirror!

Hair

We were overcharged $45 per night and were promised a refund and still don't have it. Breakfast is unedible, sausage and scrambled eggs were COLD! Pool was closed, plugs didn't work. Trash cans around the hotel were overflowing and unemptied throughout our stay. It would be tough to imagine anything being worse than this.

Awful, don't stay here!!!

I have stayed here many times and am in a group that stays here for our events multiple times a year but I'd be very wary about staying here ever again.  My original reservation was for three nights but I checked out the morning after the second night because my plans changed.  They had already charged my credit card for all three nights and gave me some excuse why they couldn't process the credit at that time.  I was in a hurry so agreed that they'd process it later.  I kept watching my credit card statement and after several weeks did not see a credit ever processed.  I have repeatedly called the hotel and talked to many different folks including someone that claimed to be the owner.  Each time they have said they will take care of it or have taken my phone number to call me back after 'investigating'.  They have never called me back and it has now been almost four months and they have still never actually returned my money.  I have given them ample opportunity to rectify the situation before burning them in a review but I'm tired of dealing with it.  I'm pretty sure they figured I'd give up and they'd just keep the money.  It's not a ton of money but it's a pretty shoddy way to conduct business and it will affect my group's usage of that hotel.

Overcharged and Won't Refund Money - Watch your bill!

Stayed there for a family wedding...no heat in our room(temp outside was in the 40’s).. did offer to move us but had already settled in room and it was by other family members.  No phone in room, some of our rooms had no hair dryers, some no alarm clocks, very poorly furnished and very dark.  WiFi only worked if you stood at the front desk   Breakfast  was very inadequate...waffle maker burned waffles..didn’t shut off till long after waffle was ruined.  Door handle on bread cabinet broken, lid on hot food was broken.  Coffee in pumper was barely hot. Clock in lobby was not working properly.  Both arm chairs in lobby had broken arms on them.  Accident waiting to happen.  Everything in there looked very used and abused.  Staff was friendly, they just have poor facility to work in.  The 8.3 rating on the front window is very misleading.. not even close.  Very disappointing stay will not be back

Super bad stay

We've been using this hotel for years and numerous times throughout the year. We've seen the management/ownership change over time and the conditions change as well. We stayed over night this time to find bugs in our room, dirt in the sheets and staff who didn't follow through with their word. When we booked we weren't told of a rate change from their normal price. When we arrived we found out when checking our paperwork. Front desk clerk was informed before we took our room that was not what we were told/willing to pay. Assured they'd get it fixed. Went to the room and tried to sleep despite noisy guests and then found out the next morning it didn't get corrected. It did not. Not worth the $160/night they had as their regular rate. Plus one of the clerks (not sure which of the two I spoke too) said the manager raised the rates because of an event in town - that's up almost $70 - a little price gouging for 200 thread count sheets and comforters as thin as a piece of paper let along the rest of the issues this place has.
