Discover Peoria

Experience the best of both worlds… Close to big city offerings, on outskirts of the Metro-Area!  Peoria boasts a Metropolitan population of 400k+, but that doesn’t mean you have to fly into their sister airport PIA!  

When you fly into Mt. Hawley, you can WALK to nearby eateries like Panera Bread Company, Hardees, Subway or a Peoria Classic, Avanti’s Ristorante.  Needing to make your trip an overnight?  No problem, AmercianInn by Wyndham Peoria is within site of the airport as well as Kroger Grocery Store.  Want something more – grab an uber or Lyft and experience the beautiful sites of Peoria Heights and grab a bite to eat at their MANY street front restaurants.
