Overall, positive experience. About 3.5 overall. BW Saluki Inn was mostly what I needed for a one night stay. And what I expected -- convenient location, quiet, secure, generally well-kept. It was a tad more expensive on this weekend than I would have expected (i.e., a bit less of a value for this particular property in the town in which it is located). Staff was very pleasant. The one thing that stood out as less than positive was the front parking area, which seemed oddly laid out and not very convenient. But that is relatively small in the scheme of things. negative would be that It was (Simple touch: it would be helpful to have a sign on upstairs floors pointing to the elevator, since it is not visible from the hallway.)

It's pretty good
The room was nice and I have no complaints about it except it didn't smell real good. The worst thing was that the elevator kept breaking down. So we had to use the stairs. It would have been a nice gesture for the hotel clerk to assist two older women lugging suitcases up the stairs, but he did not. The breakfast was good.

we weren't able to use the pool because it was closed. The breakfast was great, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The maintenance man was tried but did not solve the problem with the televisions. He was able to get one of the Tvs to work correctly but the other one wasn't.

I often stay at the Carbondale Best Western when visting my son and grandchildren. The MAIN reason for this hotel is cost and the pool ammentie for my grandchildren. Well i showed up again to check in on June 21 and wouldn't you believe it but the pool is AGAIN out of commission. If i had to put a rating on how many times its DOWN. I would give it 90-95% of tge time its doen. I wouldn't have bothered too juch but it was my granddaughters 3rd Birthday and wwhen she found out we were at the hotel - she immediately said, "grandpa I go swimming at hotel" only to disappoint her AGAIN because what is listed as an amenitie, was not available. This WAS and WILL BE the LAST TIME i EVER book at the Saluki Best Western, if any BW.

The room was nice and clean, we had no complaints. The a/c worked well. The bed was comfy enough. The pool was closed however which was weird we weren't alerted about before since it was summer time, but I guess there was no way for them to tell us. There was an attached but independent bar, it was pretty cool you could enter it from the hotel so that was pretty cool. It's close to a lot of local places if you want to go get some food or delivery.
