Very cool local spot. Owner is very kind and knowledgeable. True to the name there are parts and instruments everywhere, some valuable, some not. Definitely a great place to go for service.
Best place to get your instrument fixed up and the owners always willing to share sum guitar knowledge.
Hreat guy, great service
Visiting the guitar junkyard is always fun new instruments talking with Terry getting my guitar sound awesome it’s a pleasure too.
This place is lined with guitar stuff from floor to ceiling. It has about everything you need for a guitar instrument. The guy was very helpful.
Due to health issues store is closed so I can’t read it
Not my favorite but only choice around
4. Siren Records McHenry
Address: 3902 Main St, McHenry, IL 60050 , Henry , Illinois , United States
Great selection. Thousands of albums. A must for collectors!
Great clean records and great prices.
Been to this place several times, despite living 45 minutes away. GREAT selection, friendly owners, and EXTREMELY supportive of the local music scene!
Nice people with a good collection of music.
If you are into vinyl, and a huge selection this is the place.
Lots of used albums good prices
Only wanted Rock albums.
Good selection but the few times I was in there the younger guy working never once greeted me or acknowledged my presence in the store felt very unwelcome and uncomfortable just figured he was a hipster and I wasn’t the demographic he wants so I won’t be returning until different staff is hired, reef records in lakemoore has so much more friendly and helpful service actually found what I was looking for there so if you hire people who actually interact with the customer you’ll get more business
Second time going here owner not friendly does not greet me. After a few minutes finally asks me if your looking for something ask so i processed to ask him why there was 2 prices on the album (10 dollar difference) tells me we dont take off old ones and tells me it is what it is real nice!! Sharpies do wounders if you dont want to take them off but not too offer atleast 5 off the price just to say it is what it is great customer service I will never return and never pay your high prices so many other mom and pop shops to shop that give you a at home experience avoid this place!
5. Henry Riverbank Hotel
Address: 208 Cromwell Dr, Henry, IL 61537 , Henry , Illinois , United States
Highly recommend this hidden gem.
My husband and I needed a hotel for a family reunion, and he suggested booking a room in Henry, the town he grew up in. Boy am I glad he did.
The staff was Very Friendly, the rooms were very clean and newly remodeled with a nature vibe that really fit the location.
The view of the Illinois River from our window was the perfect view to wake up to, and the complimentary snacks were a great added surprise.
We have already booked again for an upcoming wedding, and my husband is really looking forward to the complimentary chocolates in our room.
If you are in the Henry area, check out this water front gem.
Rose is an awesome manager
I highly recommend this hotel as a place to stay when you’re in the area!! I booked a room on the hotel’s website, when I arrived there had been a mixup and the booking system said my arrival was for a different date. The owner offered to put my son and me up at her local Airbnb for no charge as there were no other available rooms!!! Her Airbnb was very comfortable and well maintained. She also dropped off a gift basket for us to enjoy. I can’t say enough about the small town hospitality we experienced here!!!!
Very clean and the owners are just up the hill if we needed anything.
Good place to stay at and very nice people
Under new ownership. They are locals that are refurbishing the hotel. The rooms are large. Some rooms are set up with kitchenettes. The bar next door is currently closed but downtown has a couple of bars and places to eat. It’s down on the river and has a city park between it and the water. It doesn’t currently have a sign and it looks like an apartment building until you pull into the lot and see the “Office” sign. It’s dark down by the marina and we weren’t sure we were in the right place. It looks like you’re pulling into the bar parking lot at night but it’s a city street that goes through.
The rooms are clean but the decor dated and worn in some. Every room has a view of the river and the old iron bridge. Some rooms have been upgraded. Water pressure is really high. They do cater to hunters and fishers for some of the rooms. They are worker friendly for people needing a longer stay in the area. I will definitely stay again given a need and look forward to seeing what the new owners are doing.
Local water tastes fine. Everyone has been friendly in town and we decided to stay an extra day. The pizza place was excellent and at least one of the bars is supposed to have good food. The downtown is well within staggering distance. I felt a lot safer staying there than along the interstate. The back roads shot to Starved Rock bypasses the hustle of the interstate corridor and winds along the bluff. Scenic for Middle Illinois. I had 4g even down by the river on what’s advertised as America’s largest cellphone network.
No one here to check us in…..all had to be done over the telephone (credit card etc.). The rooms were clean but reeked of cigarette smoke and nicotine film on most everything. If you are a smoker you might like this place but if you are a non smoker you might want to go on down the road and find something else!!
They advertise high speed internet. HAHAHAHA!! How about NO internet at all!! I would not recommend this place. Also had to call someone to let them know I was at the front desk, no staff is onsite.
