The Countryside Inn was once called the Northern Aire Motel which consisted of 16 units. Before that it was called Ranch Motel which apparently had 13 units. It is located on Peoria Road on the east side of the Illinois State Fairgrounds. As the Ranch Motel they used the slogan "Your comfort is our greatest concern" on a postcard.

A simple backlit sign stands in front of the motel. Judging by the number of mailboxes on the front of the "guest" room building it looks like this is more of an apartment complex now.
