Don Q Inn

We did not know what to expect from this hotel but were very surprised by the cool vibe of the hotel. We knew we had arrived due to the big plane in the front of the property, with a Q on the tail. The front desk greeted us, looked up our reservation and offered to show us some other rooms. Some of the rooms have unusual jacuzzi/hot tubs and the one we reserved had an old copper cheese boiler about 4 feet deep. Very cool, but we are both handicapped and there was no way we could get in and out of it. We usually do not do stairs, but TK offered to show us one on the upper floor. The Caesar Court room is amazing with pillars surrounding the jacuzzi and also the bed. TK upgraded us to this room and helped carry up our luggage. Breakfast was only adequate. The breakfast area has a large round fireplace that is surrounded by 16 vintage/antique barber/styling chairs, with tasteful decorations on the wall. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

We had a very clean room, spacious. No couch but was comfortable. Very clean pool area and welcoming staff. Our children were very loud in the pool area but we were still treated kindly. Breakfast was alright too. We've chosen to stay here everytime we make the trip to the House on the Rock or Cave of the Mounds because our rooms are always well cleaned and this place has many unique traits for a hotel. Very pleased.

Definitely a unique property a big 1950s airplane on the front lawn. Our room was large, clean, and comfortable. If you're tired of staying at the 'cookie-cutter' hotels, the Don Q is just the opposite.

The room size is bigger than usual hotel rooms with microwave and refrigerator freezer. Continental breakfast was better than most with fresh biscuits and gravy. We never did use the pool and hot tub but looked in on them and they seemed nice.
