Hotels Near Richwoods Christian Church in Peoria

It was pleasant & peaceful stay.

This hotel needs two separate ratings. The first one is for the staff. Every staff person I talked to was genuinely nice, helpful, and friendly. The staff is WONDERFUL. Five stars for the staff. The pantry in the lobby is nice and quite affordable. I used it a lot and appreciate that the pricing for items was fair. I didn't use the lending library of kitchen appliances but it looked like it had a lot of decent items that would be helpful for someone staying long-term. The rooms on the other hand are one star rooms right now. The bed and mattress are the absolute worst I've ever slept on, without a doubt. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that I had back and neck problems the entire time I stayed here and for several days after. The mattresses are so incredibly old and worn out that they are sunken-in and offer absolutely no support. The rest of the room was decent and I had no complaints, but the mattresses are so bad that it ruins the entire experience. We ended up staying in Peoria longer than we had the room reserved, but decided not to extend our stay at this hotel simply because we couldn't sleep on the beds any longer. The staff tell me the hotel will be renovated this spring and I'm really glad to hear that. Once the renovations are done, I would gladly stay here again.

You can tell that this location has been updated recently. The front exterior is very inviting and a decent amount of room for pulling up to valet. The two gentleman that approached us were very nice and professional. Valet is $21 a day. I was happy to pay it because I’ve payed WAY more in other cities. Front desk staff were nice. The lobby is huge and also seems like it’s been renovated recently. The room was nice and spacious. Bathroom was a little cramped, but nothing to complain about. Mattress and pillows were soft and comfortable. All linens were clean and fresh. If I found myself needed a hotel in Peoria in the future, I would definitely stay here again.

I was on a road trip over a long weekend in October 2020 and had the opportunity to spend a Sunday night at this hotel. It was interesting because my reservation was actually for the Courtyard next door, but the Courtyard was closed and all reservations ended up transferring over to this hotel. (Both properties are owned by Marriott.) While I was curious as to what the Courtyard was like, I was quite impressed by the Pere Marquette. My check-in process on Sunday afternoon went fairly smoothly. The staff member checking me in was very friendly and helpful. My room (#821) was clean, comfortable, and very nice overall. Unfortunately due to the pandemic, a lot of the hotel amenities (restaurant, bar, indoor pool, etc.) were not available... so I couldn't experience any of those things. The parking situation was a bit more complicated than it could have been. When I arrived, I parked on one of the side streets nearby... but I guess what I could have done was park in front of the main entrance while I unloaded my car. The parking garage is behind the hotel, and I had to go back to the front desk to have my room key card activated to allow me to enter and exit the parking garage. Not a huge deal but it could have been a bit simpler. The only thing I was disappointed in was the fact that the web browser on the business center computer was Internet Explorer. I attempted to use the computer for some basic web surfing and whatnot. However, for some of the websites I use, Internet Explorer is not compatible... and a different browser like Google Chrome was not available. That was a bit frustrating. One thing that was interesting was how quiet this hotel was. It was almost eerie... a Sunday evening during a pandemic. Probably very few business travelers. I would have loved to have been here during a non-pandemic time and seen this place bustling with people and business... especially in, say, the restaurant/bar. All in all, I liked this hotel and would definitely not mind staying here again (or maybe the Courtyard) in the future whenever I have the opportunity to visit Peoria again.

Great stay! It was really a nice hotel and the area is cozy. Ended up booking the same room for 5 more nights!

Clean, free breakfast, free happy hour at 5-7, remember to tip

This hotel is very nice, and the room was clean, big enough, and comfortable. However, the best of this hotel is its staff. I used a CPAP machine so I needed some distilled water to use it. I came very late in the night to check-in in at the hotel because of flight getting delayed. Charlotte and James (I hope I am saying his name correctly) were so friendly, and attentive, and did everything they could to get me the water I needed. James even went to the grocery store for me and got me the water that I needed. Going the extra way to help me out, was incredible for me! I will be recommending this hotel to all my friends and will definitely be staying from now on in this hotel when I come to visit East Peoria.

We were very satisfied with the cleanliness of the hotel and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. They even found a room for us on the first floor by the door when we checked in with our dogs. Plus the hotel was very quiet after 10pm! We slept very well!

The room is relatively spacious, newly renovated, and feels better than any of the three-star hotels. Unexpected surprise, new facilities, clean and hygienic, polyurethane flooring in the parking space, ample parking spaces, and the breakfast category is okay, which meets the needs. Friendly staff and excellent service. There is one washing machine and dryer in the laundry room, which costs $5 each, which is relatively expensive!
