The location of the Saluki Inn is on a main thoroughfare coming into town. It's easy to find, but its location does put it some distance from SIU. It is an older -- and, I believe -- family run Best Western. The building has seen better days, but the staff keeps the rooms clear and comfortable, and they do impressive things (the pool) with limited space. Best hotel experience in Carbondale.

Some carpets are threadbare, some walls need a fresh court of paint. It is a pre-Best Western + inn, and management does good things with what it has. Breakfast is unremarkable.

Property and rooms were clean, staff were friendly & helpful. Great location to SIU if purpose of trip is for activities at the University

Rooms could definitely use some updating with new furniture, paint job, etc (though it was very clean). Our nightstand drawer was broken and couldn’t be pushed in all the way;the charging stations in the lamps did not hold the phone chargers well so electronics didn’t charge overnight (had to use wall outlets in order for them to stay in); could use new bathroom towels that are softer material (they were clean, but rough on the skin)

The room was super-clean and felt new - carpet felt new or newish. Bathroom was very clean and sanitary.

The light above the sink could be better lighting. It is very dim. Also, the pool wasn't open (repairs) and I did not know that before booking. Also, I did not like the people/smokers hanging around outside late. The elevator probably needs repairs. Doors squeak and close very slowly.

The rooms and staff were very nice and clean. The Breakfast was delicious, and the pool was area was clean. We really like the location of the Hotel too!!

In our room the TV didn't work properly, and our phone didn't work at all. The clerk showed us two other available rooms to choose from that had working TV & Phone. The Clerk was wonderful and very helpful!!!

For the past 4 years we’ve stayed at this location due to my Granddaughter attending SIU. This location is close to the university and at a price we were comfortable with paying.

The renovation on the 1st floor are nice however the toilets are very low to the floor and difficult to use for seniors.

Fantastic! It was nice having something other than a continental breakfast or breakfast in a box. The omlettes, waffles, biscuits with gravy, and bacon were a big hit!

Breakfast hours were not posted in room literature or online information so we missed it two days out of our stay. Had to ask at the desk when it ended. Would be helpful to make this easily understood by guests.

Room, including the bathroom, was very clean. lobby seemed very clean

could use a few touches to spruce it up (ie, some of the Saluki signs were off the doors and not replaced). 2 of the electrical outlets in our room weren’t great (one on the lamp didn’t work, and the other things trying to plug in came right out). parking not great, but ok

Everything it was nice and clean environment made me feel comfortable as I suffer with depression and aniexty I felt good the whole time thanks

Calling to see if could check in early guy on phone was rude and not helpful.

Close to college campus and a lot of shopping and restaurants; good location; clean

Furniture could use an update; pillows not super comfortable (but for me, hotel pillows never are)

It was clean, welcoming and a good breakfast. The location was perfect for us. The bed and pillows were great. It could stand some remodeling but the cleanliness made that unimportant. The wifi was good and our room was very quiet so we were able to sleep well.

was totally satisfied
