Top Marion Hotel Reviews

Drury Inn & Suites Marion

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, the staff was very friendly. Pool and hot tub was clean and nice. The breakfast, dinner and drinks were good. Love the afternoon popcorn as well."

Quality Inn & Suites Marion

10/10 Excellent

"I've stayed at other LaQuinta hotels & this was, by far, the best one! It was bright, cheery, and clean. Loved the location. It was a short walk (or bike ride) to the beach! It was on the 'good' side of the highway (meaning we did NOT have to cross the busy highway to get to the beach). I highly recommend this hotel."

Super 8 by Wyndham Carbondale

8/10 Good

"The room and bed/sheets were clean. Unfortunately the air conditioner wasn’t left on so the room was really hot when we arrived. The stair well had a funny smell but the room itself was nice and did not smell. The property seems well taken care of, but you get what you pay for. The bathtub is in need of refinishing. The hair conditioner was empty. The most important thing in a hotel for me is that the room is clean and the bed is comfortable and they do offer that. For the money, I would stay again, but don’t expect anything extra."
