Had a great stay Beds were super comfortable Checked in was smooth

I came in late due to flight cancellation so I asked for an upgrade and they gave me a king suite with jacuzzi for a small fee Breakfast was great with hot sandwich, eggs and waffles, it was busy in the morning with everyone coming all at once but did not have to wait Rooms were clean and tidy Staff was attentive Would definitely stay here again Close to everything No nuisance place

Eryk Fairchild

Overall a really great experience! Loved the temp of the room, it was clean, VERY comfy bed, great shower, and the staff was super nice Our son accidentally soaked the whole bathroom and all the towels, they gave us replacements promptly, no fuss Breakfast was fine, they had this really cool pancake machine making minis they my kids loved! My only complaint is a common one for celiacs like me, need more gluten-free options! Will stay here again for sure

Jay was incredibly kind and courteous during our stay! We paid in cash and it was very convenient to check in an stay for one nightThe rooms were beautiful, quite quaint, and very clean! It had a micro fridge but everything a hotel needs We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back again soon

Rob Watkins

Stayed here a few days while visiting the area on business First, let me commend the front desk staff Everyone I spoke to on the phone was so helpful

Then when I arrived, they were very attentive Second, my room was ready, very clean and comfortable Third, the rate was reasonable Fourth, great location in relation to O’Hare airport Hope to stay here the next time I’m in the area

Nicole Perkins

This was one of the worst experience ever I can’t believe how they lied this is not a 4 nothing hotel It’s ants all over the rooms they are not cleaning the rooms like they are supposed to

No microwave in the room The bathroom was still dirty Someone used it didn’t flush the toilet My key didn’t work to my room we tried 3 times before she gave me another key When I told her about the ants she said well it’s ants everywhere I’m sure the purpose of saying that

I stayed 6 nights because I used reward points Day 1: 1st room had a lovely view of the roof top ventilation system Just ugly

I changed rooms and the view of the parking lot was better The fire alarm went off No fire (Thank goodness) Big booger on lampshade turned my stomach Day 2: Breakfast buffet was barely edible Potatoes were dried out; gross Coffee was great! Bath mat had black slime under it Gross Fire alarm went off again FD couldn’t get elevator to work; had to hike up 5 flights of stairs Mattress was broken in on one side like sleeping in a hammock Day 3-4 Did not attempt breakfast buffet Day 5: went to pool Disgusting Big greasy ring around the entire pool Gross Staff is nice Location is great I’m done with this place

Miranda Monticelli

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary We got the king suite with the ‘jetted’ tub When we checked in, the male receptionist was very accommodating and polite

When we took a bath in the tub, the jets were broken I think if you are paying the price for a jetted tub, then you should most definitely get one The breakfast buffet was alright, but I would say not worth $20 You can get the same type of breakfast, if not more at a 2 star hotel with free food The breakfast staff was polite, and attentive The hotel was extremely disgusting I mean, especially during COVID I felt like I was staying at a one star hotel with how gross it was The receptionist explained that they were understaffed I believe that there is no excuse to be that filthy In your spare time, do some of the cleaning yourself I would never allow for my hotel to look this way Children’s handprints all over the glass and sticky door handles throughout The pool was more green than it was blue Trash laying around everywhere- inside and out Plates from the buffet had fingerprints all over them Silverware not polished Floors were dirty too When checking out, we had explained to the female receptionist that our jets were broken in our ‘jetted tub room’ She didn’t even apologize to us for the inconvenience! The hotel manager was just coming into work at the same time, and she failed to get him, or mention our concerns to him If I were in her position, I would have grabbed that manager, and offered some sort of discount since we paid for something we couldn’t even enjoy To top it off, their restaurant was shut down due to being understaffed as well, and the free lemon water was not accessible, so we didn’t get to eat dinner there Instead, we had to go out into town to get food (which took time away for our ‘hotel getaway’ experience) We will probably give this place another chance down the road, I hope they get more organized by thenStay duration: 07/24/22-07/25/22

Uri Gedalia

I stay here quite a bit Nice place Can use some upgrades

The place is recently very busy which is GREAT! Staff usually very nice and helpful BUT when you come to check in at 7:30 pm and there’s no one at the front desk because they need to run around the place putting out fires…that’s an issue I’ve been here many times and they def need more staff at the evening and night time

We were taking our toddler to see family, hours from home and hours from our destination Suddenly, he started sobbing, then vomited EVERYWHERE – all over himself, the car seat, everything in the back seat It was already a little late, so we stopped and went to the nearest hotel, which happened to be this one

First, the negatives: the hotel is under renovations This was never a problem for us – no noise, no mess, but worth mentioning They do not have free breakfastNow the positives: this hotel is pretty friendly The room was a little dated (will likely be fixed soon given ongoing renovations) but clean and well appointed The beds were comfortable and the sink and bathtub easily accommodated all the stuff we had to wash The parking lot felt safe (my husband was outside scrubbing our car until late into the night) Thankfully, they had washers and dryers, so we were able to clean off everything we could in the bathroom to remove the gross parts (clothes, car seat padding, etc), then wash it all in the machinesThe best part of this hotel, however, was the staff They gave us tons of towels, were kind as I carried my very upset toddler through the lobby, and checked us in fast Whatever they are paid, they all deserve a raise Really dedicated to customer service and super nice people Highly recommend this place if you happen to be in the area!

Chris Adams

This place was incredible I had a room here for 8 months while I worked on a job and I was very impressed with the cleanliness, quality and professionalism of the hotel The appliances all worked great refrigerator was big

The rooms have recently been upgraded so it has all new furniture as well with very comfortable beds The staff was very friendly, personable and helpful For the price this is probably the best place you can find in the area

Lynsie Bernier

The staff were very helpful and friendly Decent location close to the highway but room was quiet Fair price for traveling with a dog, $25 / night

Loved having windows in the suite to open for fresh air This property appears to be in the middleof an update The room I had was not updated The bedding, bathroom and kitchen were clean The doorjams, sides of cabinets, carpet and couch needed a good scrub down Luckily I wasn’t in the room much, gone to a scent work trial all day each day Would stay again because of the low pet fee Hopefully will be updated and cleaner next time

Adam Gollwitzer

This place is not as advertised I stayed here for five days on business and the wifi worked for only one of those days There were some crunched up Cheerios on the floor next to my bed on check-in

Mid-week I asked the front desk to vacuum them up since it was not happening during the day The woman wrote it down on a slip of paper The next day my bed linens were changed (which I did not ask for or need) but the Cheerios remained No internet makes it difficult to work from this hotel Businesspeople may wish to book elsewhere

I came down to visit my son and his family I was very pleasantly surprised at how nice this Hotel and marina was It was clear there had been some updates made

It was clean; that is what I look at Very pleasant and accommodating staff The balcony facing the river was my happy place I even extended my stay an extra day The restaurant is closed; but there is no shortage of restaurants, bars or places to go within a short distance from the hotel

Mark Sturges

What a nice, quaint, little private owned hotel! I found this place because I had business dealings nearby I was impressed with the owner, Gary, as he was the one who took my reservation as well as checked me in upon arrival Great conversationalist

My room faced the river and was nice, clean, and comfortable, although it was a little small But I was solo so it was ok for me Even had a small balcony to step out on to watch the boats and jet-skis go by

Austin Olesak

This place has so much potential to be a booming hotel that if fixed up and ran right it could easily bring in $150 a night due to its prime location

Honest reviewPictures, signage, etc are very misleading The bed is extremely hard along with the pillows Bed feels like you’re laying on the floorCarpeting is old and has stains Water damage on the ceiling Cheap “repairs” made to the walls, ceiling, baseboards, and bathtub Water smells but it is well waterNo amenities or atleast very littlePositive sideShower pressure is strong almost overwhelming Very hot water Heat/AC works amazingly well No found smells other than the water No signs of bugs anywhere other than the occasional spider Front desk was very nice Easy after hour check in process Just call ahead and they’ll tell you what to doStayed 4 nights during a holidayWould I stay again? No and that’s mainly due to the extremely hard bed and hard pillow If the bed was more soft than I probably would stay again

So we stayed her for 3 nights 2 rooms All 3 days there was no hot water due to a boiler issue So cold showers for everyone! As previous commenters mentioned it was definitely run down a bit

The lobby was nice and updated However the rooms were definitely dated and small I had a fridge I had to turn off because when it kicked on there were bad bearings or a loose belt or something that sounded like a dying seagull when it kicked on Oh and they only service the rooms once every 5 days That info is on their website I will say so I’ll take the the heat on that one, (was the only thing with heat during my stay) The only reason I gave it 2 starts instead of 1 was that the staff was very friendly The thing that kinda peeved me is that when I brought up hey can we get a discount on our stay you know because NO hot water all I got was a “we are sorry for the inconvenience but I can’t do that” Listen to the other reviewers and look elsewhere!

shelly b

Hotel and front desk staff were polite and amazing We requested a crib for our one year old and it was a worn out pack and play that she couldn’t even sleep on The noise from other kids running down the hallway at night, kids knocking on our door at 1 in the morning, and then drunken stumbles fighting outside our door was icing on the cake

Stay here if you don’t want any sleep

We left a dirty hotel room and came here Rob at the front desk was an absolute angel, he listened to me vent after a long day of travel and losing my credit card at the dirty hotel He was so kind and helpful, Hilton this man deserves a bonus! He even gave my kids some bags of snacks since we had such a rough day

This hotel is very clean, comfortable, and the staff is amazing Don’t waste your time trying any other hotels

Jenn Soderblom

We stayed at this hotel for a “Stay and play” youth hockey tournament The hotel was more than able to accommodate us and did so well The check in and check out process was quick and easy using the Hilton app

They didn’t seem to mind the many kids in and out On Friday night we had pizza brought in and they allowed us to eat in the lobby and gave us the conference room to use The staff was very nice and always willing to help The only reason this is no a 5 star review is the breakfast It was awful!

Ross S

This was my first stay at this Hilton location, As I am not local to the area However, I wanted to give special recognition to Graciela at the front desk I had a moderate inconvenience, and She took care of everything

Let’s face it, there are so many hotels we can stay at In this day and age, but she and her team put people first Outstanding job Hilton! Highly recommended

This is excellent value for money for long term rentals We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite that cost least $150 a night The rooms and some of the furniture are dated but highly practical

Even though there were 2 bedrooms there wasn’t much room to work from but that’s where the spacious business center, which is next to the lobby came in very very handy The location is top notch Staff was very helpful and cheerful all the time There was a full DIY laundromat located centrally and a small marketplace selling drinks and snacks, and even some medicines and household essentials like laundry soap Strongly recommended for long term stays and fire value conscious travelersThe grab and go breakfast is something that should change to an in person breakfast And they should do more to recycle on their premises

Mandi Markwardt

Nice service and the room offered somewhat of a “homey” feeling We enjoyed being able to unpack our belongings in the walk-in closet, and they had a brand new hair dryer for usThe furniture could use some TLC and the adjacent bathroom was missing the shower curtain liner

The kitchen sink had a leak and the “grab-and-go” style breakfast sack was very disappointingOverall, I would come back, but if you’re looking for more luxurious accommodations this isn’t the spot for you

Ser Hawke

Hotel gave me a runaround on whether I could get the government rate I asked for it for check in, the woman told me she didn’t know how to do it and ask at check out I asked at check out and the guy there said that they could give it to me but that the gm needed to do it

He even took a copy of my ID Then at the end I was told that they couldn’t give me a government rate and that its only for one bedroom I wouldn’t have minded not getting it, but the run around was ridiculous, especially after having to wait about a half hour to check in the first dayThe rooms were okay but had a musty smell The skylight was dirty and cracked and the walls had some scratch marks One of the ceilings had a small crack it it Sometimes the customer service was good but very hit or miss The pool was nice but the lack of consistency on the rates and the fact that the second night they were double the price seems like they are just trying to get as much money as possible

If there were “0” stars available, this property would receive below it The room we booked online, was not the room we walked into When we inquired, we were told “they” (whoever that was) overbooked the hotel

The room was adjacent to the lobby, steps away from the elevator and dining area Additionally, when I tried to get back into my room after discussing with the front desk, found my card key did not work I went back to the front desk and was given a new key We were traveling with our grandson and went down to check out the pool Once again, none of our keys worked to get back into our room and our dog was on the other side of the door Back again to the front desk and now the manager on duty tried, also to no avail I mentioned it was probably not the card key but something internal with the lock itself This finally resolved itself Fast forward to midnight, all of us sound asleep, when an entire party, not certain if wedding or otherwise, proceeded to chatter up a storm for about a half an hour, this along with the elevator dinging every couple of minutes I was concerned our grandson would wake up with all the noise No one from the front desk came to ask them to quiet it down! It finally settled down, until around 4:00am, when the elevator started dinging again People were leaving and had no respect for other guests and again nothing was said from management I was more than livid Having been in Hospitality and knowing the difference between right and wrong, this was wrong on so many levels When we checked out and I asked for our room to be comped, I was told the best they could do was approximately $40 I asked to speak to a manager and was told she was the manager In my dealings in the industry, this was unacceptable In leaving, I mentioned I would be taking this to social media and was told, “okay” This was in May, but my first chance to voice my dissatisfaction with the hotel We will never stay here again, not recommend and think twice before staying at a Holiday Inn Express again

Laurie Ann Cox

Best hotel we’ve stayed at when going back home to visit the kids and grandkids Cozy, clean, our room was spacious and I’ve never seen a bathroom mirror that is lit up around the whole edge, and when you shower it only fogs up around the edge next to the lighted edge I’ve never slept so good in my whole life, I want this bed in my house

The employees were all friendly and worked with us when we arrived early for our reservation, then when we had to extend our stay to give us the best possible price The only downside is not anything to do with the hotel, but other guests with dogs We travel with 2 small dogs and always clean up after them Other guests just leave their dogs waste everywhere, it was disgusting Winter cold and snow is no excuse to not clean up after your dog, but I believe they wouldn’t clean up after their pets no matter the weather SO IF YOU TRAVEL WITH YOUR PETS AND CAN’T CLEAN UP AFTER THEM PERHAPS YOU SHOULD LEAVE THEM HOME OR BETTER YET YOU SHOULD STAY HOMEPERIOD RUDE AND INCONSIDERATE, THINKING THAT CLEANING UP AFTER YOUR PET DIDN’T APPLY TO YOU YOU AGREE TO IT WHEN SIGNING INTO THE HOTEL PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE HOTELS PET FREE AND A PAIN FOR THOSE OF US THAT DO FOLLOW THE HOTELS RULES AND CLEAN UP AFTER OUR PETS!! I’m sure y’all are pulling the “Karen” card but when I’m trying to find a clean spot for my pet to go on and there isn’t because others left dog poop everywhere, it pisses me off The hotels should use outdoor cameras and put on the agreement you sign when you bring your pets that you will be charged extra when you are viewed on camera not cleaning up after your pets That would be awesome!

Kelly Jeanette Swift

The company I work for choose this hotel because it was close to the company The rooms were big and clean Comfy bed and clean bathroom

Staff was super nice especially Shawn on the overnight shift Hotel is close to shopping and restaurants Pool was nice and heated if not so deep The complementary breakfast was standard Overall a good experience and I would recommend this hotel

Place is dated and the room isn’t perfect We didn’t have hot water in the morning Possibly due to everyone running their showers at the same time

That’s what I was told by front desk It was my first time experiencing this in a hotel Due to the hotel being packed, they can’t move us to another roomThe bathroom has stain and the ceiling paint bubbles up and peelingThey didn’t properly stock up on towels in the pool area Had to asked for it twice each timeThe down blanket leaked feather all over We woke up with little white feather all over our clothes and the carpetBut I’ll give props to the staffs for customer service though At least they really try and did what they can to keep everyone happy and comfortable

Sean Conley

This place is in a really good location not far from the highway, and with a grocery store and a mall right around the corner So the area has a lot to offer I wouldn’t say there were any surprises in terms of the room itself

It was nicely appointed and comfortable The breakfast however was spectacular and well worth the money (it wasn’t free) and I only interacted with two staff members, but they were both very nice and extremely helpful despite how busy they were

Hampton Inn McHenry offered a friendly check-in There was a real door on the bathroom! Yay!! This was the only one of our entire 10 day road trip involving several Hampton Inn stays We were so happy for the privacy

If Hilton would consider using real hinged bathroom doors again, we would appreciate the change There was no hot tub as in the pool pictures online It’s spot was filled with concrete The hotel seemed newly redone, and the immediate area seemed nice Mostly it was surrounded by farmland but is within less than an hour of downtown Chicago

Bri Thomas

Not only did the hotel over charge my credit card SEVEN times they laughed about doing it Jacquline charged it when I checked in, Steven charged it on the way out When we were standing in line everyone else was getting print outs of their folios (receipts)

When it was mine and my fiancés turn, we checked out and Steven said the printer “broke” and he’ll work on it It broke conveniently when it was our turn to check out because Steven was well aware of what happened He said not to worry and he’ll email us a copy of our folio He did, and the receipt said we should’ve only been charged twice, half on debit half credit For a total of $37962 and that was fine I was expecting that However, on our ride home to Tennessee I noticed my credit card was charged 5 times and my debit was charged 4 times Each charge was for $18981 I called because my bank was sending me emails notifying me of fraud on my accounts I called and spoke with Jacquline and she essentially said that it wasn’t her problem, laughed and hung up I called back and spoke to the GM, he said he was terribly sorry, released the funds immediately and profusely apologized I called back when I saw 3 more pending charges on my credit card for $18981 and again spoke to Jacquline who then transferred me to Steven Steven said I have to deal with the bank because the payment wasn’t approved, the funds were released and he had to collect payment in order to check me out If payment wasn’t collected, why was I refunded money that I was overcharged? That was a lie because my card was never once declined, money kept being withdrawn My total should have only been $37962, but the total between my two cards was $1,32867 The payment was approved MULTIPLE times and they thought it was FUNNY to keep charging my cards I had to report it all as fraud, be sent a new card and go back and fourth with the bank about why this is happening Not only did over charge my card multiple times, they laughed about and continued to authorize it until I had to report it all as fraud because apparently charging someone’s card for hundreds of dollars is absolutely hilarious according to Jacquline I also requested housekeeping service on my second day, which I never received I had to, at midnight, make my own bed because the housekeepers didn’t My fridge also went out while I was there The engineering/maintenance department was the best part of the stay They were prompt and quick to fix that issue I will never stay at another Hilton property let alone a hole in the wall joint like this one I’ll be staying exclusively with Marriott after this HORRIBLE experience This is my first and LAST time ever staying at a Hilton property Avoid this property like the plaque I could get better service at a Motel 6 than this placeAlso the room was gross The window blind had stains all over it The bathroom vanity was held together with drywall screws There was hair all in the shower from the previous guest

Overall this hotel was nice It was clean, the beds and pillows were comfy, it was nice having a couch in our room and everyone was friendly We got a really great price too! I just wish they had microwaves in the room and the standard size hotel fridge instead of the tiny little cube fridge

We stayed their for 4 days and had hoped to be able to eat some meals in our room but without a microwave we couldn’t do that And the fridge was too small to put leftovers in

Kim Pekofske

The staff here is wonderful! Very friendly and helpful This is a pet friendly hotel BeAdvised there are additional fees for pets

Room was good, nothing fancy but clean and a lot of room Not a lot of grass for pet walking They need a pet off leash area that would be a huge asset to this property We would stay again

Shelby

I had to leave a review and I never do this But I’m this world today and this economy a good hotel is hard to come by And especially having 4 full time jobs between the 2 of us and sleeping in the car most nights

This place was a god send Most hotels have moved to check out at 11AM since when I was growing up And WE DESPERATELY needed someplace to sleep comfy for the night and to shower And the minute our heads hit the pillows and the BLINDS kept all light out BEST nights sleep I’ve gotten I panicked when I woke up at 11:15AM thinking we were gonna get a late fee and I was gonna be interrupting their cleaning schedule but BEVERLY up front when I called to apologize and tell her my room assured me it was okay and it was noon I appreciate that so much from a world that has gotten so cold I highly highly HIGHLY recommend staying here if you’re ever in the area!

We had a great getaway With me being so busy I wanted to show my man that I appreciate him, this location was the BEST We had a whirlpool suite that was amazing

The fireplace was perfectly next to the window that had a great winter breeze Jacuzzi was amazing and deep enough for the both of us The staff were wonderful so polite, friendly and greeted us each time we came through the door I would definitely come back Only thing was upon checking out I found a shoe and other items under the bed from previous people

Stacey Johnson

Everything about my stay was 5 star Hotel was clean, facility,smells clean, check-in was smooth, pool and hot tub were up and running Hot tub was heaven

Happy hour, good breakfast Debbie was so sweet and polite I am definitely coming back Bonus for me were the signs about quiet time and what time its enforced Ive stayed at some hotels where guests and or children of guests had 0 consideration for other guests when it came to noise This will be a monthly weekend getaway staycation for me

Melissa Cardoza

Me and my boyfriend stayed one night, we enjoyed the room perfect for a small getaway the bed was comfortable, the pool and hot tub were okay breakfast was good we were satisfied with what they offered lots to choose from, now to why the three stars so around 11:40 (check out is at 12) we decided to finally get up and start grabbing our stuff I had accidentally spilled some coffee on my shirt so I was in the middle of changing when we heard the softest knock on the door and before I could even respond a cleaning lady presumes to open our door I was livid Check out is at 12 why the hell is someone barging in at 11:40!? So I go to the front desk with my frustration and the lady giggles it off and says oh I’ll talk to them

This place isn’t cheap by any means and the lack of customer service really irritated me I was in the middle of changing when a worker seemed it was alright to not even give us a second to respond to her knock before letting herself in We’ll be taking our business elsewhere our next couples getaway

Room had older type decor, yet was very clean and well maintained Shower pressure was amazing Pleased with the soft-close toilet seats & soft-close shower doors

Used both, key card and mobile phone key, without any problems Heater kept us warm The fridge kept our drinks and food cold Our stay was short, so we were not affected by the fact that there aren’t any microwave in the rooms Due to COVID, housekeeping is not automatic, despite requesting the service, no one ever came Overall, we enjoyed our stay, would recommend to friends & family If we’re ever in this area again, we would definitely come back

Jordan Syrowik

Had everything you would expect from a moderately priced hotel Bathrooms were up to date with modern tile and shower Mattress was a little firm, and the room decor was quite dated

Per usual with hotels the air conditioning kept changing back to 72, which kept the room a little stuffyIn all, great place There is a Starbucks as well as a non-included breakfast buffet

Tushar Rao

My room 721 was used by someone else when I was away, and the whole bathroom was dirtied When I showed this to the staff I was given a simple answer “we don’t know” without any concern or apology There was a camera right outside the room door and the staff promised that they will look at the footage and have a manager call me back

Been 4 days, no call and no follow-up Avoid this property if you value your safety and belongings and absolutely avoid ROOM 721

Nice area close to several restaurants and the mall Good stay overall but in all honesty this place could use some upgrades and a good cleaning The furniture in the lobby is dirty, the carpets throughout needed to be vacuumed and the wall in the pool area DEFINITELY needs to be repaired

I also noticed lots of petsdifferent breeds Probably wouldn’t book here again

Godness Moon

our stay was pleasant the rooms are large, perhaps not very well ventilated (the windows cannot be opened) breakfast was good but not great, maybe they should add more variety in the “hot” part

overall the property offers various things, including gym and swimming pool maybe the ventilation is too noisy, (even when turned off in your room) many nights it really bothered

Roger Loeb

This is a nice place to stay, especially if you are going to be there for more than one night The suites have a separate living room, kitchenette (microwave, fridge, dishwasher) Breakfast is excellent if your schedule allows you to be up and interested in eating from 6 to 9

My rating would have been 5 stars if my shower didn’t drain slowly (I hate ankle wading in the water waiting to go down the sewer drain) Other issue, not necessarily on the hotel, was the extremely inconsiderate neighbors screaming at each other at 11pm Like normal conversation but at a volume that was just ridiculous

First thing to welcome you is caution tape and remodeling, then a blue sign stating the pool and hot tub are out of service, and that it’s posted on all websites It was not As you can see in the photos the room was not the cleanest with either blood or ketchup on the walls

Looks like there was a leak at some point in time as well as the mold in a few different places There were several other things like patched up holes in the wall or how it looked like an animal was trying to eat it’s way out of the bathroom door and so on see the pics provided You can see stained or un washed towels and stained bedding Beds were surprisingly comfortable even after all the above Worst thing is it seemed to have a restrictor or regulators on the AC cause the room would not get colder than 74 and there was a really loud fan between the room and the main sitting areaLooked to be missing furniture and the items there were a bit beaten up with good sized holes in themThe guy a that came to the front desk looked extremely tired so much so he looked higher than a kite That was after waiting about 20 minutes for anyone to even get to the front deskBreakfast was a bit of a joke but what can you truly expect I guess Overall not a very good stay by any stretch of the mind but a great location and close to where we had to be for events

Steven Spenner

After walking into the lobby I instantly saw filthy carpets Most hotels smell “clean”, not this one thoughThe pool was closed, even though their website says nothing about it

My room stunk like an ashtray The sheets had some crumbs and stray hairs on them I was considering sleeping in my vehicleWorst hotel I’ve ever stayed in You couldn’t pay me to go back Hope this review saves other people from this same experience

Jen Noonan

10/10 would not recommend anyone using this hotel for a block for a near by wedding The people at the front desk were rude and on the phone for personal reasons while checking in guests There was awful food for breakfast

They did not have appropriate staffing for that many rooms being filled If I could give negative stars that’s what I would be rating it

I booked a weekend at the Victorian Rose Garden B & B with friends recently for an event in Chicago I thought I was booking just a room, but what we had was an entire experience Sherry graciously opens her home and makes you feel welcomed and more like friends than guests

We enjoyed this lovely Victorian home and all it had to offer Our room had a wonderful feel including a private bathroom with a claw foot tub If you are looking for a place without interaction from your host, this is not the place for you Sherry greats you when you arrive, sat down at breakfast to share in the conversation and was always on hand if needed If you are looking to be treated like family I would definitely recommend checking into this lovely B & B!

Michael Grossenbacher

My wife and I came out for a long weekend to reconnect and get some time away from our kid The experience was overwhelmingly positive Sherry was a fantastic host, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the breakfasts were amazing

We expected the sort of continental breakfast you’d get at a hotel but instead got a different homemade meal every day – apple french toast, cheese and spinach quiche, and vegetable omelets, all with fresh fruit There’s really nothing negative I can say about this place We’ll be staying here again when we come back into town

Jennifer Moody

I had a great experience at the Victorian Rose Garden B&B I was only there for a night, but got to enjoy some quality conversations with Sherry, had a delicious breakfast, a comfortable night’s stay, and a great book on the porch I stayed in Lady Teresa’s bedroom – the bed was comfy, the air unit kept the room comfortable without being loud, and I didn’t hear any of the other guests

I actually thought the room was much bigger in person than it looked in the photos Downtown Algonquin was cute and so close – we’ll have to come back to stay so we can experience that
