Looking for affordable place for Braidwood and Dresden
nukeNick:
i Have to go to Exelon's STC in wilmington, IL the address is 36400 Essex Rd.
I will have to go for a week and a half in july, and then for 12 weeks starting in august, and ending the first of november. I was wondering what would be a good hotel around the area, i know it is close to braidwood area.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. :)

I stayed here this time for LaSalle. I reserved it early, but when I arrived I was told I had to leave by the 1st of the month because there was a bigger party booked and all the rooms would be filled. (Not exactly an idea situation having to find a new place in the middle of an outage.) Breakfast is no longer a part of the weekly rate. So you will have to pay more, or get your own.
If I had to complain about anything, there were not enough outlets to plug in my laptop and my phone. And the 4g wireless internet is a verizon hot spot capped out at 5 Gigs of data. I lost connection frequently while trying to video chat with the wife and kids. And if you have a Sprint cell phone, you will be standing outside to talk on it.
The bed in my room was comfortable, but if you work opposite shift, you may want a room upstairs. People walking around while you are trying to sleep doesn't do well for light sleepers.
On a scale from 1 to 5 I give it a 3 based on cost and friendly nature of the keeper. 30 minutes from LaSalle if you get stuck behind someone doing 55 the whole way.

Hello Doc. I just wanted, in all fairness, to respond to your post. You were told in advance of your reservation that the entire B&B had been reserved. Also, you never mentioned the difficulty you were having with the Verizon 4-G wireless Internet. Yes, it was set to cap at 5 Gigs, but had the capability of increasing it to 8 Gigs (the most that Verizon offers.) We do ask to limit video streaming and chatting because it uses up so much data. You never mentioned that you were having difficulty sleeping; we could have made arrangements for you to change rooms. Breakfast has never been included in the weekly rate; had you mentioned that you would have liked breakfast, we could have accommodated your request. So, in closing, I would say that the moral to this story is: Communication is the key.

Also, there was a power strip in your room along with 4 outlets. If you had asked, we would have given you another power strip.

That's not what the Verizon website says

I have Verizon 4g, and I have a 30 Gig a month plan, their website shows a 50 GIG a month plan. After that, they just charge by the gig.. (Yes, it does cost an arm and a leg)
