The staff were very nice and helpful, they made our stay nice and were very respectful. Though the room could have been cleaner—mildew-smelling and mold in bathroom, AC unit leaked on floor, and there was dirty linens on bed when we checked in, they were changed quickly by the very sweet and helpful staff. We just dealt with wet carpet due to AC unit, but this seemed to be normal. The pool was nice, breakfast tasty, and beds were comfy. Overall good stay!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was very clean. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was excellent! The only thing that took away from the stay was the noisiness of the other customers, but that is not at the fault of the hotel at all. We had a family of children next to us and several families with children staying above us that kept us up most of the night.

Love the proximity to Illinois State Beach Park and Gurnee Mills. Rooms adjacent has a toddler that’s crying and making so much noise at 1am. We can hear all the way to our room. Made me awake until 4:30 am! Surprise that the room can’t reduce the noise outside to at least some decent level. Otherwise good place to stay. Free breakfast too is a plus. Thank you guys

Their system was down when we got there, so we waited 45 minutes in the lobby. Then asked us for $100 cash for the incidental fee so we went to get cash. We were gone barely 5 minutes and when we got back there was a line of guests who arrived after us checking in. We then had to wait in another 10-15 minutes to finally get our room key. The staff was nice, but definitely feel like the situation should have been handled better.

Who charges $20 an hour for early check in??? We arrived sooner than anticipated and we were charged $40 to get into our room. The room was ready so why the charge??? I feel like I was robbed. I will never stay there again.
