Top Waukegan Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Prospect Heights, IL

10/10 Excellent

"N/a"

DoubleTree by Hilton Libertyville - Mundelein

10/10 Excellent

"The building is old, but kept very clean. The front desk staff were very accommodating. The bed and pillows were super comfortable. I liked the "do not disturb/ clean room now" feature on the door. Way better than the door hanger that is always falling off."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago North Shore Deerfield

10/10 Excellent

"I love staying at Embassy Suites because you know you’re always getting excellent service. From the free happy hour to the amazing breakfast, they have it all covered. The only tiny issue we had was that the charging ports/ plugs in the lamps didn’t always work and there’s nowhere else to plug anything in. I didn’t feel the need to bring it up to staff because it’s minor and everything else was perfect. Other than that, fantastic as usual."

Sonesta Simply Suites Chicago Waukegan

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean rooms with many amenities"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Waukegan by IHG

8/10 Good

"We checked in around 9pm and were promptly greeted by desk staff. The rooms were attached, which was convenient. Thermostat on wall in one room did not work. Bathroom door was noticeably damaged from constant wetness from tub/shower. The continental breakfast was average. Juice was just colored water. Very watered down. Pancakes were hockey pucks. Veggie omelette pockets were okay. Wish there was scrambled eggs as an option. Overall, the hotel's location was nice. Close to many chain stores/fast food and Walmart. Easy to get to from highway and the proximity to Six Flags was a bonus."

Days Inn by Wyndham Waukegan
