This has been the most family friendly hotel we have stayed in a long time The front desk host was on her own and it was busy We arrived and our room was not quite ready as the lobby was full of people coming and going

It was the first and last weekend of doing break for schools in our area We were on our first weekend staying so we were relaxed no rush The manager took our bags the kids changed in the pool area and went swimming while our room was being prepared They brought our luggage to our room and brought my keys to me in the pool My son made a buddy in 5 mins and my daughter and I got to hang out The pool was so warm we actually asked if they could turn the heat down which is usually not the case and as an adult you end up fighting for space and trying not to get splashed in the hot tub This was so warm and clean towels were always restocked My so And his friend went “exploring” as did about 25 other boys all night until about 11pm They had so much fun walking the halls and sitting in the lobby playing on their phones together Breakfast was supposed to from 7am-10am the next morning but at 11am there was still no rush to close down the breakfast room and coffee, tea, milk juice, and whatever food (hot breakfast not just a continental) was still left was available for guests I called to ask for late check out and rather than 1 hour they offered me 2 extra hours since I had been delayed at check in It’s rare to find good customer service anymore and when I find it I patron as often as it fits my need This will be our go to hotel for the close to home weekend swim getaway next winter FOR SURE!!

Front desk employees were very friendly However, when I pulled the blankets back for my son to go to bed there were hairs all over the sheets There was a cup on the floor between the bed and nightstand with some kind of liquid in it, carpet was dirty, toiletries were not stocked

The shower and sink drained very slowly making it difficult to do what we needed without causing a flood The small shop by the lobby only had power aide, tea and sodas And breakfast, well what was there was awful Nothing was refilled in the 30 minutes we sat there except for biscuits The man working the area was extremely friendly but the food was pretty much empty and it was 830 am I was very disappointed with this hotel Won’t be staying there again

Clean, except 1st floor bathroom commodes out of order King bed suite with 1 twin beds spacious and offers some privacy but door between King bedroom and main room has too to bottom glass Wish kitchenette was bigger (full size fridge/would be better)

Appreciate separate heat/cool for two rooms Pattern on bath floor makes it look dirty No specified pet area but plenty of grass area behind hotel Several choices for breakfast

We we’re pleasantly surprised by the room Nice size room, full fridge with ice maker, sink ,stove, microwave and a recliner made of real leather and even the bedding and towels were high quality The room was so clean, we thought we may have been the first occupants

We will definitely stay there again The only thing it needed was one of those tall lighted signs so you can find it easier at night

bisco 29

We stayed here for 14 days $160000

Because of covid garbage pickup was supposed to be every Sunday, Full service every Wednesday The last time anyone came to our room was 2 Wednesdays ago That’s 10 days I kept calling and going in person to the front desk to ask for at least garbage pickup every day for the last week Each time, I was told that it would be taken care of They even said they would notify the hotel manager I even was told that there would be a message sent to the service persons phone Never kept any of their promises Couldn’t wait to get out of that place And here is the icing on the cake I woke up this morning and found out our refrigerator wasn’t working Lost all the food we had in the freezer and fridge All that money I spent staying here and such terrible service And you would think there would be a free breakfast for what they are charging? No You have to order a breakfast sandwich and a few things to go with it before 8pm the night before, and they charge you full price for it They don’t even give you a free bottle of water Their kitchenette has a full-size coffee maker, a toaster, and an electric stove top No pots or pans to cook with No utensils like spoons, forks, or knives You will have to buy a fry pan or a cooking pot

Courtney Leach

5 STARS Very clean Exceptional staff

I had a minor surgery prior to staying and they had no problem giving me a couple extra pillows Then I lost a sentimental piece of jewelry and not only were they able to locate it after my departure, their manager called me personally and shipped it to me It’s the little things I will definitely be returning next time I am in town!

The beds r comfortable and the pool is clean however the hot tub was closed and so was the restaurant Also this is not the place to stay if u are looking for a relaxing weekend People were loud all night then at 8am housekeeping banged on our door and then opened it while we were sleeping

Housekeeping was really loud in the hallway all morning Definitely won’t b staying again!

Lance Brown

Do not stay at this hotelI travel a LOT and I’m a Hilton diamond member This is the worst hotel I’ve stayed at in over 9 years

NONE of the gym equipment works It is all broken They gym is extremely small for what I consider Hilton Garden Inn standards I’ve seen Hampton Inns with bigger facilitiesMy asked to see the manager about the equipment all being broken I was told she is only there a couple of days a week and when she is there it is only from 9-2 This makes it difficult to have a conversation with her as someone there on a business tripAdditionally, my room smelled I figured out on the last day of my trip that the AC unit was leaking water into the floor/carpet I’m fairly certain this was causing mold to grow and creating the smellI will be in this area for the next 6 weeks My team will not be staying at this hotel for the remainder of this trip

Crystal Jensen

So I dealt with Laurie this morning and McKenna the other day and let me tell you the customer service I received from both have been absolutely amazing! They have made me excited for my upcoming stay Thank you ladies for your amazing hospitality!Update- I think I have pretty much dealt with almost everyone at the front desk now lol McKenna, Laurie, Charli, Hanson, Sara (please excuse spelling) they truly make you feel like family here!!! I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about this place and the staff here! This will be my new home away from home!

We had our wedding in Aurora and had lots of guests from out of town This was the hotel of choice and my wife and I stayed there as well It’s rare to stay somewhere and have no complaints but there are none

It’s super clean, the rooms are big and well accommodated, and above all the service was top-notch The front desk staff were so helpful I’ve stayed in a lot of Holiday Inns and this is the nicest Would recommend to anyone

Vickie Musni

Great experience Stayed here for three nights while in town for a wedding Staff was friendly and the room was very comfortable

I really appreciate big bathroom counters, and small bathroom night light, and having a microwave in the room I was disappointed we couldn’t log in to Netflix on the room TV or find any way to even purchase a movie

Scotty Ngo

This was probably the nicest Holiday Inn Express we’ve ever stayed at The hotel was clean and the front desk staff couldn’t be any nicer, we appreciate their hospitality! Traveling all the way from Phila, they made our few nights stay very comfortable and enjoyable ! Shout out to Julius for being so friendly to our little baby !

The room was fine Clean and comfortable The breakfast fell short

We were there on Mothers Day morning, at breakfast by 830 No eggs Fruit bowls empty Other foods low Choose our food and sat for 20 minutes Never saw ANYONE tending the breakfast area No more eggs No wiping tables Nothing I get that staffing is short, but 1 person can handle it!

Chris Julian

Almost everything was perfect about this stay Great room, comfortable bed and big TV There were two downsides

No HBO is one The other was getting hassled by the guy at the front desk because he didn’t believe our dog was a service animal He started asking questions deemed illegal by the ADA Some training regarding how to properly comply with the ADA is needed That being said I will definitely stay at this hotel again

Great location for where I needed to be during my stay & quite, for the most partDuring my first 2 nights, a lot of families staying for what appeared to be a multiple state school event, with kids running up & down the hall & stairwell Although, I think the loudest incident was the tornado siren that went off outside my window

I went on this trip knowing full well to pay attention to the weather, & for the most part, know what I need to do in case emergency I also seek out the evacuation plans to familiarize myself with the safest route out Right away I found the instructions for a fire but had to search the room for the welcome book to see if there is any further instructions for a tornado Once I finally located it laying on a shelf near the tv, I read the tiny paragraph that told me to shelter in the bathroom if I am in my room or in the hall of the lobby area if I am downstairs For those that do not read the welcome books it might be beneficial to add those instructions to the fire escape plan on the back of the door so when the siren goes off the guests know what to do and are not searching the room for instructions Just happens that a tornado touched down not far from our location & I knew what to do when the siren went off because I searched for the informationOn a different noteIt was great having a kitchenette in the room so that I could make my own meals instead of eating a bunch of fast food the whole time Comfortable seating area to unwind before retiring to a soft pillow in a spacious bed & warm blankets Restaurants, bars & stores are not far down the roadI would definitely consider staying here again if I find myself back in the area

Belinda Thompson

When we first got there the outside wasn’t very appealing at all To the point we thought about finding another place to stay The building was just to plain

Sure they had gas grills you could use that were clean looking But we weren’t there to cook I was having surgery in the morning So I needed to get things done as the hospital requested But we went on inside and the place was really nice and the lady behind the desk was really nice and friendly We told her about what we were thinking when we first drove up She laughed along with us We checked in and went to our room Talk about being pleasantly surprised how the room was and how much space we had all over the room Now as for the bedthat one needed to be changed out for a new one It sagged in the middle some I couldn’t sleep on it due to my neck So I slept on the big couch just fine Tim slept in the bed but didn’t get much sleep due to how the bed was Yes we will stay again when needed Just not the same room/bed We didnt take time to walk around to see the pool and all As we were busy getting ready for my surgery in the morning

Regina!!! She was so helpful and friendly! We were in a bad situation with a different hotel (dirty, smelly and not friendly); Regina single handedly put us at ease and helped us solve the problem She was amazing!!! The hotel itself is great as well Very clean and inviting

My stay was only one night but my brother could be here for a while!! Thank you Regina…you put my mind at ease!!!

This is by far the best quality inn motels I have ever stayed in! I have been to two other quality inn motels and they were horrible! This hotel has clean rooms, clean bathrooms and the beds were comfortable! The ONLY small complaint I have is the water pressure but other than that the temperature was phenomenal! When I went to check out I fixed myself a decaf coffee but they were out and they made me a fresh pot, beyond happy with my stay I definitely recommend this hotel! I don’t know if they have a laundry room or not but I do know they don’t have an elevator which is not a big deal since there are only two floors I will be staying here again! The mini fridge and microwave they have are also updated and big Love love love this place!

The second you walk in, you can smell the cleanliness Front desk ladies were very professional and helpful The couch in the room had a small rip in the arm, but overall the room was very nice and very clean

Their pool and hot tub area, as well as the gym was very nice Breakfast was okay They were already out of a lot of things even though there was still over an hour left to eat Overall, would definitely stay here again if I ever come back to Illinois

Shaylae Duprís

The customer service that I received from Carmen T and Nicole at the front desk was “above par” customer service For some reason the system had me booked for 3 rooms and it should have only been 2 rooms booked under my name Carmen stepped in and corrected the issue and did everything she could to ensure this was corrected

This was my first time staying at this hotel and the hotel was very clean and the smell of fresh aroma can be smelled from the moment you walk in the hotel lobby Nice location and the room/suite Carmen T upgraded my room too was quite nice Every organization needs an employee and leader like Carmen T and Nicole I have already booked my next stay at this hotel for 2022 #Great Staff #Great location #Superb customer service

Mysteriously Me

Beautiful rooms, clean hotel that smells amazing, nice view, clean and warm indoor pool, adequate sized gym, basketball court, pond, and super friendly staff The only thing they need to work on is making sure there is an adequate amount of breakfast to last throughout the entire breakfast Majority of it runs out within the first hour

Other than that, awesome hotel!!

They went above and beyond for myself and my daughter regarding our stay I haven’t had such great customer service on quite some time! We were going to change to a closer location, but after their help yesterday, I will just eat that extra 10 minutes of drive time Lol Great job, Ladies!

The staff and owner of this hotel were incredibly helpful and accommodating to my family during our visit We had friends and family from out of town gathering for a celebration of life ceremony and the hotel staff was so helpful in making our stay easy and comfortable They were extremely courteous and the owner, Max, went out of his way to assist my son in finding his lost gaming device

We found the hotel very clean We have stayed here on numerous occasions and will continue to do so in the future!

Marie Olsen

I loved this hotel We stayed here to be close to the baseball game at kane county cougars The staff all seemed kind and welcoming

I loved the benches outside the front where you can just chill and relax I felt safe and had absolutely no issues I’m sure if I had any issues they would have taken care of right away Great hotel I usually stay at choice hotel properties and this is one of the best that I’ve been too I’d come back again

Olivia Ratner

We partnered with this hotel for a room block as we were getting married at Acquaviva in Maple Park We ultimately chose this hotel because they offered shuttles to and from the venue if a certain amount of rooms were blocked However, they never communicated to me when the discount code cut off date was

I had guests trying to book a few weeks before the wedding at higher rates When I contacted the hotel, the customer service I received was not accommodating Overall my guests seemed to enjoy their stay However there isn’t a hotel bar which is something to consider as well

Dealing with Hiral has been an absolute pleasure! We have been sending employees down to stay at this Comfort Inn for months during an out of town job and she was always extremely helpful, often going above and beyond her duties to make sure we were taken care of Truly made booking and cancelling a breeze I didn’t stay at this hotel personally so I can’t speak to “my stay” but our employees never complained about noise or cleanliness issues

Rashawn Nance

I understand the service industry can be tough You’re dealing with different personalities all day One word of advice, everyone is not the same nor should they be treated as if they did something wrong simply by checking in

Letting go the obvious bad taste with the lack of welcoming atmosphere, I was introduced to something I couldn’t ignore The room was dirty but felt clean I slept on top of the covers as I always prefer After my alarm went off I saw something out of my peripheral crawling It scattered quickly and I thought nothing of it Then I saw it again on the night stand and it was a roach! Staring at me like I don’t belong here I called the front desk and accused guests of bringing them in She profusely blamed everyone instead of accepting responsibility She then proceeded to ask me to bring it to her for proof, what?!!!! After killing it with my scandal I saw yet another one It doesn’t matter what she thinks it’s obvious you guys have bugs Please check all of room 222 before staying FYI you’ll also have a $150 deposit on arrival even if you used a third party to pay for the hotel

There are so many reasons why this beautiful Hotel deserves 5 stars and more! I will start with the ambiance and amenities The Waterfront Room is gorgeous with lovely acoustics for a wedding ceremony or event for dancing The outdoor space on the riverfront is perfect for ceremonies and then of course the grounds are gorgeous for cocktail hours too

No one can COMPARE to the fabulous RAINBOW ROOM! Hello!?!?!?! A light-up dance floor with cool spots to grab photos from?! Yes please The food is fabulous and the staff is even better Kelly makes sure that clients are happy and that events are executed flawlessly She’s got a great eye for detail and is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS optimistic and coming up with unique and cool ways to make events successful The owners take great care of this venue and it shows WE LOVE HOTEL BAKER!!!

Nikki Onstead

Me and my husband went to St Charles for the first time I saw the pictures of the hotel and thought it is a good little historic place to visit and stay

I booked the hotel for two nights We got there late and the whole lobby was under construction, They gave us a dirty room with used water bottles under the bed and dirty bathroom that smelled We didn’t make a big deal as we didn’t want to ruin our trip, however we asked for a room upgrade The receptionist told us that we have to check out from our room at 1100 am and they will give us the other room as soon as they clean it We follow up with them 3 times and they told us that the room will be ready soon Five hours later in a weather of 10 degrees, after we heard no news, we went to check again and they told us that they are going to charge us $500 dollars for sanitation and the claim that we were smoking in the room which was a complete LIE! They even charged our credit card for 2 nights when we stayed only one night I called them and asked for the manager to call me and she never returned my call At the end they removed the second night charge and I had to call the bank to dispute the extra charges I traveled all my life internationally and THIS WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE THAT I EVER HAD!!!! I DONT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO ENJOY THEIR TRIP AS THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR GUESTS AND THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY PROFESSIONAL COURTESY FOR THEIR GUESTS!!!!!PS never give them your debit card as they are going to charge you without any explanation

Jennifer Mencias

We recently attended the Easter Sunday Brunch that Hotel Baker hosted and it was a delight They had an impressive spread of food that spanned three different rooms The variety of food from pastries, to custom omelets, full breakfast items, seafood spread, meat carving station to many lunch/dinner items no detail was skipped

Oh and don’t forget the most amazing dessert section!!! The service was great, everything was top-notch! Thank you Hotel Baker for a great experience!

My flight was canceled so United airlines gave me a voucher to stay there When I got there the lady was overwhelmed at the front desk asked if I had a reservation and told her that the airline had sent me with this voucher She told me they should’ve checked because the hotel was full and nothing was available

After waiting more than an hour she said she could help me because they have extra rooms which she charged to my American Express Later much later when I got into the room I felt like I had been taken and decided to check out immediately She then told me it was my fault because I did have a reservation I didn’t tell her She said telling her that the airline had sent me didn’t explain anything Then she didn’t know how to reverse my American Express charge and when she found my reservation she kept on saying she would take care of it meaning make me pay for something the airline was already doing The lady even asked me to buy her a couple cheeseburgers which I did while she was trying to help out Worse experience I’ve ever had at any hotel abroad or at home in the states I will check next week to be sure they refund my American Express cardif the airport sends you there make sure they take the voucher and don’t put up with any attitude, The lady was absolutely awful Now I am back at the airport sitting on a bench but it’s better than paying that hotel I feel

Strike 1 – The man at the front desk was not very accommodating We were traveling with our family of 6 We asked for more towels when we checked in and were told that housekeeping was gone for the day

Not true because we discovered she was still there Security ended up helping us get towels and the proper bedding for the couch bedStrike 2 – NO Continental breakfast We have been traveling for 3 days from San Antonio Texarkana has a breakfast, free Paducah, KY again has a continental breakfast Chicago hasBurger Theory What theWhy cant they all be consistent!! This is the reason we chose to stay at Holiday Inn’s on our entire 3 week vacation Now reconsideringStrike 3 – No Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Gel in the shower like the previous 2 hotels we stayed in Just the tiny bottles on the sink We pay more to stay in the better hotels for better accommodations and service This hotel needs to discount their price for not having those amenitiesOn the Plus side – We did have a great time in the pool which was open until 11pm and the rooms were cleanFYI – The ceiling are very low Tall people (above about 6′ 3″) stay elsewhere

The hotel, or rather a resort, is beautifully situated on the river itself The historic building and the beautiful old-style decor give you a feeling of unprecedented comfort Professional and courteous service, willing to help at any time

In the morning, delicious breakfast and snacks, and of course fresh coffee available for guests I can recommend this hotel to anyone with full responsibility It’s worth it

Nicholas Michelsen

Majority of the room was nice The bed was very comfortable and the fireplace was a great feature Staff were also very friendly and the overall hotel was clean

The only issues we had with our room was that the cleanliness of the bathroom could of been better along with the outside balconyAlso, some requested room add ons were missing from when we arrived Although did not get charged, was still disappointed as it lessen our experience not receiving what asked when bookingOverall, had a good experience but expected a little more Will try again in future as only stayed one night and did not get to experience the spa and restaurant

Andrew Pach

A truly wonderful experience from the time Josh welcomed us until the “bonus” dessert of a chocolate dipped strawberry for everyone in our party We enjoyed the specialty cocktails like the French martini and the raspberry beret The atwater salad was a perfect start, just the right size and a blend of flavors to start things off

The entrees were very good and the service was excellent

I stay here twice a week I have stayed in all the motels in the area in this price range Sleep Inn is miles better than any of them

Everyone at the front desk is polite and professional It’s cleaner than rooms for three times the rate They are serious about clean They have a good breakfast It’s an all around great deal for the money

Clover Spang

Stayed here several times at this point Desk service is very nice n patient Tho the rooms appear clean enough most smell pretty funky

The cleaning lady apparently has a vendetta against me cuz every time I got off or on the elevator she was mopping the floor directly in front of it no matter what time it was!! I’m hella clumsy and tore my hamstring a cpl yrs ago so slick concrete floors make me extremely nervous :/ mopping is NOT the same thing as laying out a red carpet or flower petals in front of guests like Coming to America

You will have GPS it because it’s not upfront on the road Next to a Cracker Barrel which is great I was told they had truck parking

Get there and the Desk Attendant seemed fluttered almost as if she was looking for an argument Instead of truck parking I was told “I could park on the street since for years they’ve never had a problem” After diffusing the initial conversation I asked about an area on the property and was told if I can get my vehicle in there then I could very well park it there So I did just that Breakfast was ok prefab eggs sausage and the like If you’re wanting to rest and relax next to a lake this is the place
