Hotels in Canton, Illinois at a Glance
Four lodging options sit inside Canton city limits. Three are well documented. The fourth, Canton Inn, shows conflicting details between sources. One more hotel in nearby Lewistown shows up on booking sites but not on county lists.
The Fulton County tourism page lists Canton Harvester Inn, Canton Inn, and Heritage Grand Inn. The Enjoy Illinois state tourism site lists Econo Lodge, Canton Harvester Inn, and Heritage Grand Inn. Together, these sources give us a solid picture of where to stay in Canton.
None of these properties is a large resort. Expect clean, practical rooms, free parking, and a quiet small-town feel. Business travelers, hospital visitors, and families heading to local events use these hotels most.
Canton Harvester Inn
Canton Harvester Inn is the boutique pick in downtown Canton. The address is 150 North Main Street, Canton, IL 61520. The phone number is 309-357-5820.
Enjoy Illinois describes 32 rooms. Each room has two king beds, a refrigerator, a microwave, a wall-mounted TV, and a desk with data ports. Decor uses natural browns and greens with maple wood and historic pictures of Canton. The listing also names Wi-Fi, daily housekeeping, wheelchair access, and an exercise room with weights, a treadmill, and a stair stepper.
A meeting room seats about 25 to 30 guests and has projectors and screens. A booking guide lists check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. The same guide lists free continental breakfast, free parking, and no pool. The hotel does not allow pets according to the guide, so call if you travel with an animal.
Why choose this hotel? You stay on North Main Street, the same street as the Majestic Theatre and Opera House Plaza.

Econo Lodge Canton
Econo Lodge is the budget motel in town. The address is 2110 North Main Street, Canton, IL 61520. The phone number is 309-647-1888.
Enjoy Illinois calls this property an affordable motel near area attractions. The listing places the motel along Illinois Route 78 and names Big Creek Park, Lakeland Park, Big Horse Vineyards, the Majestic Theatre, and Spoon River Speedway as nearby stops. The listing says check-in is at 2:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM.
A booking guide lists 32 rooms on two floors with no elevator and no pool. Every room has a microwave and a refrigerator. The same guide lists free continental breakfast, free Wi-Fi, free parking, and smoke-free rooms. Pets stay only in designated rooms, so call ahead.
Naming note. The Fulton County page lists a Super 8 at this same address with this same phone number. The county list appears to use an older brand name. Confirm the current brand when you call.
Canton Inn
Canton Inn sits at 665 West Locust Street, Canton, IL 61520. The Fulton County page lists the phone as 309-647-7111. Booking sites also list the property as Canton Inn by OYO.
One travel listing describes 26 air-conditioned rooms with refrigerators and microwaves, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, and free parking. The OYO page lists check-in at 2:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, while the travel listing says noon check-in. The two sources disagree, so we treat the times as unconfirmed.
The OYO page asks guests to show a valid photo ID at check-in. The page may also require a deposit for incidental charges. Treat this as a basic motel-style stay and call 309-647-7111 to confirm hours, rooms, and rules before you arrive.
Motels Near Canton in Lewistown
Big Horse Inn and Suites is in Lewistown, not Canton. The address is 805 South Main Street, Lewistown, IL 61542. We found this property only on booking sites, so we flag the details as unconfirmed.
A booking page lists check-in from 3:00 PM, check-out at 11:00 AM, free parking, a restaurant, a small cafe and coffee shop, and a billiards table. The page says the property is smoke-free and does not allow pets. Verify everything by phone or through the booking page before you rely on this stay.
Lewistown is a separate town, so plan a drive to reach Canton attractions.
Old Listings We Dropped
An older version of this page named two other properties. We could not confirm either one, so we removed both.
Par-3 Motel and Cabins did not appear on the Fulton County lodging list, on Enjoy Illinois, or in any booking search we ran. Treat any listing for this name with caution.
The older page also described Canton Harvester Inn as a former bank with fireplaces and an on-site restaurant. Current state and booking listings describe a boutique hotel with two king beds in each room. None mentions a bank, fireplaces, or a restaurant, so we did not repeat those claims.
The county lodging page also lists Red Lion Motor Lodge in Havana and Sisson’s Country Inn in Kilbourne. Both have non-Canton addresses, so they are outside this guide.

How to Choose a Canton Hotel or Motel
Match the property to your trip. Pick Canton Harvester Inn for a downtown stay. Pick Heritage Grand Inn for a full front desk and meeting rooms. Pick Econo Lodge for a simple motel on Main Street. Pick Canton Inn only after you confirm details by phone.
Ask three questions on every call. What time is check-in? What are the pet rules? Is breakfast included? Policies change, and booking sites sometimes lag behind.
Book early for Canton Friendship Festival weekends and for school or hospital events. The city has few rooms, so they can fill fast.
