Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago Waukegan

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff!"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson Kenosha - Pleasant Prairie

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff! Entrance was under construction but not blocked. Staff in the breakfast room was on top of cleaning and keeping food filled! Very good breakfast choices and fresh! Only thing I didn't like was that people were allowed to smoke right outside the entrance . We had a person in our party that has asthma so that was not good for them."

Great Wolf Lodge Illinois

10/10 Excellent

"Kids had a blast! So did the adults."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Waukegan by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed 2 nights. Room was very clean and cozy. Hotel is near so many restaurants, a Walmart and a casino. I always have a great time when I stay at the Hilton."

Red Roof Inn Gurnee - Waukegan

8/10 Good

"We had a good stay but we didn’t realize there would be no breakfast! Wish there was!"

Baymont by Wyndham Gurnee

8/10 Good

"The hotel needs to be updated. My room was smelling awful. The house keeper will aak if you need you room clean and clean the room and leave the dirty sheets and dirty pillow cases on the bed"

Hotel Gurnee

10/10 Excellent

"Right away as you walk to the door, it was hay bales and pumpkins and fall festival. I walked in through the doors and was surprised by those beautiful lobby. To to my left as I walk through, I noticed the bar which I ended up having three amazing blackberry margaritas on the rocks.😉 I was a bit early, but the front desk was very accommodating and got me into my room. Which was on the first floor just around the corner. The hallways themselves remind me of a vintage hotel, dark wood. But the room itself was light and airy very clean. Although they do not have any charging ports in any of the room, so make sure you bring a USB charger along with the cord. The pool area is amazing and very large. It was indoor plenty of space for the kids with cabanas all around it. I was very surprised.. outside of that is a courtyard with bistro tables that surround a lighted fountain. Remember to look up the disco balls in the trees make it fun. The gym is a really good size with a lot of options to work out. It is located across the street from Gurnee Mills mall. they have atypical breakfast in the morning muffins fruit coffee, that sort of thing. But the big show happens at 9 o’clock with a buffet for $19.95. Delicious. 👍👍 Anyway it was an excellent choice. So book it, you deserve it!"
