Sunset Inn & Suites is in Clinton, which sits between several big cities and college towns. Since it's smack in the middle of Central Illinois, it's easy to get there for a weekend no matter where you live.

You wouldn't know it from the outside, but this is the facade of the hotel where wonder awaits.

The amenities are great. Outside your room, you'll have access to a 24-hour gym, indoor swimming pool, hot tub, and sauna.

The game room is open most of the day (and night) for 21-and-up fun.

For the rooms themselves, each luxurious suite comes equipped with a Jacuzzi tub for two.

There's also a huge walk-in shower in each room that includes a waterfall system and massage jets.

Some rooms even have their own private sauna.

Now let's talk about the themes. No kidding about the spaceship! The Space Odyssey room lets you relax in the Milky Way.

No matter the season, you can get cozy in the Starlight Glacier suite and enjoy this fireplace from all four sides of the room.

Dive deep and make some fish friends when you stay in Pearl Under the Sea.

You can even go back in time with the Roman Retreat and imagine you're a Roman god or goddess!

On the flip side, go camping without the fuss when you stay in Cabin Fever.

If the tropics are more your game, the Hawaiian Waters suite will give you the tiki time of your life.

Romance is sure to spark when you take advantage of the Wine & Roses room, complete with a heart-shaped Jacuzzi.

Take a walk on the wild side in the Rainforest suite and discover relaxation in the jungle.

You can even seemingly stay underground in the expansive Crystal Cave room.

Enjoy a stay modeled off a classic, magic tale when you visit the Arabian Nights suite.

Your inner travel bug will be satiated in the tropical tiki room, which will make you feel like you've stepped onto your own island!
