Top Southern Illinois University Hotel Reviews

Best Western Saluki Inn

8/10 Good

"Our daughter goes to SIU Carbondale so we travel there often. When we do we stay at this hotel. The price is reasonable, and the hotel's quality is better than some other options in town. That said, the overall property (e.g., hallways, stairwells) needs a good cleaning. The bedding is clean and their complimentary breakfast is about typical for these hotels."
