Overview

Best Budget Inn in Joliet is what one might think of when asked to imagine a classic roadside motel lining Route 66. In fact, this place is downright classic Americana, right down to the veneer wooden headboard and the thrift shop painting hanging above. If you are looking for a blast from the past and imagine yourself as James Dean on a cross-country road trip, then this motel is the place to stay. The pool area is surprisingly large, with plenty of poolside seating, and the restaurant, Joe’s, next door gives you dining options if you don’t want to leave the hotel grounds.
If shopping is on your list, and your family is looking for some retail therapy in Joliet, then look no further than the Westfield Louis Joliet Mall, where you will find an array of stores all under one roof. The mall is known for its flagship stores such as Macy’s, Sears, and JC Penney, and you will also find a mixture of local brands here as well. There are also a range of eateries on site in case you get hungry while you shop.

I thought the price was a little high for what I got, but it was better than sleeping in my car. The room was ok, pretty clean. Communication with the front desk was a little difficult. The breakfast bar was ok, but they didn't stay on top of keeping it stocked.

Well I stayed here and the previous reviews must have been with the old owners. Because this is The nicest motel in Joliet. It was extremely clean. Priced good and it has a balcony. You can feel like you are at home and not a motel.. It was quiet. Nice clean hallway. I would highly recommend this motel. Keep up the good work..
