madcitychick Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 Accepted bid: $55Taxes & Fees: $15.24Total Charged: $70.24I saw a 3* hotel listed on the express bids for $65. The only three-star hotels in the bid zone for Beloit are the Best Western and the Ironworks Hotel (formerly Beloit Inn). It listed free breakfast, internet, pool, parking, and a fitness center. Ironworks doesn't have a pool so I knew it would be the Best Western.As I bid the day before the stay, I didn't have time to mess around. I started my first bid at $55 and won.The hotel is in a very quiet location, just off I90 at the first Illinois exit (51/75/Gardner St.), slightly behind the gas station. The room was clean and a good size. I'd say it compares more to a Holiday Inn Express or Hampton Inn, so I'd put it at a 2 1/2 star level. The pool is fairly small, but it is open 24 hours. There were people in the pool when we walked by and we couldn't hear them, so it must be well soundproofed. They also had noodles and paddle boards which you don't see very often.Breakfast was decent with an offering of scrambled eggs and sausage in addition to the typical waffles, cereal, bagels, yogurt, fresh fruit, etc.Overall I was happy with the stay and will stay there again.
