We would not recommend staying at the Pere Marquet...

We would not recommend staying at the Pere Marquette. My first impression: walking in to check in to our rooms and the front desk attendant continued to talk on the phone, not making eye contact, no acknowledgment that I was standing. I waited there for 10 minutes. I chalked it up to, "She doesn't know I am standing here" although she did apologize for making me wait while she was on the phone.

Our meal was unimpressive (to say the least) and I ended up sending my food back. I have NEVER done that. We are strict believers in not wasting food, but this wasn't salvageable. My husband and I were the only diners in the restaurant and we constantly had to flag down our server as she was engaged in conversing with two other servers near the register at the door. We finally resorted to standing up to get her attention and then when she was at our table, she wouldn't look at us but talked to us as she stared at her phone. Not even kidding.

The cabin we stayed in was fair and this is generous. The rooms had a coating of dust on furniture, the cable/satellite was out and the heat did not work. All first world problems, we know.

We gave this 2 stars instead of 1 simply because we found our experience kept us laughing.

Save yourself the $ and go to Alton. The restaurants, hotels, etc. are nicer!
