Motor lodge with clean rooms

This is a 1960’s type of motor lodge and could use updating, but it was clean and everything worked. The manager was very friendly. I would stay there again.

This is a place that I'd consider again. It was clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly as well. The rooms are in need of updating, but it appears that they work hard to maintain them.

Good basic motel. It was clean and safe. No ice, food or anything more than WiFi and basic stuff like towels. But for the price it was fine.

Basic but good

Very basic motel, but that is all we needed. Motel is exceptionally clean and quiet despite being fully booked. The owner was very friendly and went out of his way to be helpful. The cost is especially reasonable. I would stay there again.

Very nice hotel.

Our stay went very well. We were in town to visit our son at U of I. The hotel was like 20-25 mins away from the university which was ok with us. Room was very clean and neat. Friendly service. The hotel was also located in a nice quiet area as well. Would stay again.

Highly recommended

Easy check-in, clean room. The lamp by the door didn’t work but there were other lights. Monticello is a nice small town. There is a beautiful park right across the street from the motel.

All was well. The only thing is the bath soap was the size of a quarter and the beds were never made the four days we were there. Cool comfortable room.

The Foster Inn is a quaint 12 room 1950 style motel. My room was very clean, quiet, and the owners are friendly. The bed was great and I slept like a rock. The room amenities were a small refrigerator/freezer, microwave, shampoo, soaps, hairdryer, everything other motels have. It is very simple, comfortable, and clean at a very reasonable rate.

Despite the place looking dilapidated, the room was surprisingly clean and had shampoo, hair dryer, fridge, microwave, and complimentary coffee. Much better than the Motel 6 in Springfield IL that was noisy and didn't provide shampoo or hair dryer. We liked Foster Inn so much, we chose to stay an extra night.

Pleasant 5 night stay!

When we were not able to stay at a family member's home due to his hospitalization we found The Foster Inn in nearby Monticello. Although it is dated the room was large and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The owners were very pleasant. I enjoy baths and often find that the plug system broken in chain hotels and motels. I was delighted to be able to have baths!

I stayed here when attending a recent HS choir reunion. Overall I found it clean and the owners were very friendly and helpful. I don't mind that the place is very old, but there are things that need to be kept to up like grouting the bathroom and floor tile. Also the walls are very thin, so I could hear the alarm go off of the drunken guy next door for over an hour at 5 am on two mornings.

Very clean and well kept up and not a trace of that old smoke smell which seems to plaque nearly all the other facilities which I have stayed in recently. A little off the path, but quaint. First time I have been given a real metal room key , instead of a computer card,,in a long time. And I liked it.-FBP

Nothing fancy

If you want a luxurious hotel, don’t go here. If you want a clean room with a hot shower that won’t break the bank, then this is the place. Older ma and pop that’s close to the interstate. In room coffee. Didn’t check the Wi-Fi cause I use my hot spot. Tv was good.

Exactly what I hoped for

I was going to be in town for my son's engagement party and needed somewhere just to sleep before heading home early the next day. I read the reviews and the price was perfect. The only issue was the car parked outside our door (a silver Jag) playing loud "bass thumping" music for over an hour around 5am...the room was clean, the beds were good enough and I would stay there again.
