Couldn't have asked for a better wedding from Eastland!

I got married on 1/22/22. Everything between booking the venue to meeting with Jolene and having them help with every step of the way was wonderful. Everyone at Eastland Suites was so great to work with and they made each step of the way smooth and fun. They helped make decisions and worked to make the conference center into a beautiful room to get married in and also have an awesome reception. They each went out of the way to help us have a wedding that all of our guests enjoyed. The hotel itself was great for all of our family and friends and everyone enjoyed the stay and the rooms. Jolene, Jake, David, Olivia, Julia, Skye, and Rosalina did so much to make the weekend great and we are so thankful to each of them. They even kept the bar in the hotel open later for our guests and it was greatly appreciated! Choosing Eastland Suites to get married at was one of the best decisions we made.

We stayed overnight on a road trip that was basically to do a food and drink tour and bring home some items that we cannot get. The hotel location was terrific for all the stops we were making. What really impressed us was at check-in when we asked about freezers for certain food items, and the welcoming clerk said we could store them in their freezer overnight. We took advantage of the offer and even got a claim check number for it. Parking for $10 with in and out privileges was a great deal. The room key lets you in and out of the parking garage across the street. There is a skybridge connecting the hotel and the garage, so access is very easy. The concierge lounge was open and had everything we wanted for breakfast. The room and the bathroom were clean except for a vanity mirror covered with makeup and fingerprints, which made us wonder what else was missed. We will definitely consider staying here again if we are in this area.

Nice but no breakfast

Reviewed By tjajea

Clean and well run but no free breakfast. Coffee provided in rooms. Provided 2 free drinks at bar and warm cookies at check in. We would have preferred free breakfast. Good location easy to get in and get out. Lots of free parking. There is a Panera within walking distance but due to staff shortages you cannot dine in the restaurant.

Meets your basic needs.

Reviewed By leahdu12

We stayed here for four nights, and it met our basic needs. The room smelled musty and was humid, despite having the air conditioner on the entire time. The carpets in the halls and the room were old and had gross stains on them. The paint was coming off of the walls in the bathroom, and the shower rod looked like it was about to fall off. It felt dirty and gross. It definitely needs some updating. The staff were friendly, and check in and check out went smoothly. It was more affordable than other hotels, but next time we will splurge a little to have a more comfortable and clean stay.

Very helpful

We were passing through town and stayed here. The staff member that checked us in was very accommodating to us since we were pulling a boat and wanted to be able to watch it. Next morning vehicle wouldn’t crank. Val at the desk was so helpful in trying to get us the help we needed. She went over and above. Would definitely recommend this place!

Worn, but fine for what I needed

Reviewed By ILoveBourbon

I want to give the front desk kudos, I cannot remember the man's name, but he was very nice and easy to talk to! I was traveling alone and literally looking for a place to catch some Zs, and be on my way. For what I needed, the hotel was fine. It has seen some better days, but was clean, despite being a bit rough. I had a fridge in my room, which was great. I used the ice machine. Breakfast in the morning is just coffee with prepackaged danish. Again, for my needs................the Chateau worked just fine. I was able to get a great deal on it.

Filthy!

Do not stay here--it is filthy! and smells. The hallways are disgusting and constantly smell like pot. The parking lot is not suited for moving trucks--do not pull in --there is no turn around. Pet-Friendly--but not worth the dirt.
