Find Hotels in Peoria

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.

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.

The hotel is very good in every aspect, except that the water in the wash basin is too small and the breakfast is not good.

Staff member : Jakob (Front desk) - Jakob made my stay quick , comfortable and secure. He was very professional with a light hearted spirit that made the long day feel like tonight I came to the proper place for rest. This season can be hard on many; but for his kindness and compassion towards myself and others staying, I must say he makes a woman feel safe. That is a feeling only a few can say they experience when staying alone. Jakob always kept an observant eye on the grounds , maintained the standards of presentation of the property (collecting bottles and garbage). Yet the action that mattered the most was making sure a woman staying alone at night remained safe. He is a 5 star employee and a true asset to the business ! Next time I visit I’ll make sure to ask “How has Jakob been ? :)” Happy Holidays, move with light and love . Sincerely , Kelsea P

I stayed at the Hampton Inn with my family on July 27. In our hurry to continue our journey, my wife accidentally left her wedding ring and diamond ring in the room. The housekeeping staff was incredibly honest and returned the rings to the front desk. The front desk staff promptly and securely mailed the rings back to our home in Canada. This is the warmest and most comfortable hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The enthusiastic service and the integrity of the staff are truly commendable. We will definitely stay at this hotel again in the future! We are extremely grateful.

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

My son served in the Air Force and would stay here for a month each time and they kept him well looked after. It made him feel welcomed and respected. When I went to see my son they would discount me at the troop discount and I was glad they all knew his name and liked him. These boys have a budget to live anywhere they want and he trusts this place very much. It is very clean and beautiful. There is a great pool, hot tub and gym. Great safe area.

Just stayed there while a family member was in the hospital and we loved the hotel. I booked a hearing impaired room when I needed a wheelchair accessible room and the front desk was a great help in getting that fixed. I got pizza from across the street (which was so delicious btw) and then realized I needed plates. The front desk manager, Darryl Smith, got them for me. He was such a huge help and always so kind when I needed something. He really is what every hotel should want in an employee. He was so kind and so helpful. Parking was a breeze and everything went great. The beds were comfortable and relaxing. Thanks for a great stay!
