Holiday Inn, US 51 (now IL 251) and I-80.
My family used to stay here in the 60s when visiting my aunt and uncle in Spring Valley. My mom was from Mark, so we'd visit my Uncle Tony. Just north of Mendota, we'd visit my mom's best friend on their farm. This Holiday Inn was super nice! As kids we would swim all day, they had a great grill for burgers poolside, terrific bar, (my uncle always flirting with the waitress!) great restaurant and comfortable rooms where we would play cards all night. A real jewel among the corn!
Hi Charles!
It sounds like you have some great stories from your visits to the Holiday Inn poolside. We'd love to hear more about your experiences in the area during the 60s. Do you remember any other landmarks or activities in the region during that time? It's interesting to see how the area has changed since then.
