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

This hotel was surprisingly modern It was extremely clean and had a great smell to the lobby The staff was all nice

The best part of the room is they have blackout curtains that perfectly cover the window so no light creeps inI wish there was a refrigerator or a microwave but it’s not that big of a deal if you are just staying for one or two nights

Adam Schneider

Four Points Sheraton has done a wonderful job updating this hotel from how it looked from previous owners but some of the choices for the rooms interiors are not great It seems as if cost-cutting was more important to them than customer satisfaction or aesthetic The room I stayed in had a very nice king bed and a couch and microwave but had no fridge

I can’t be the only one who’d rather have a fridge in my room than a microwave Also the lighting in the room was awful Unnatural and headache inducing blue-white led lights in every fixture except the bathroom The bathroom was great and the lighting in there was wonderful at least Hopefully they can change some of these things or I won’t be back

Alison Wright

My family of four used the park, sleep, fly option for a week and were happy with the lyft services from the hotel to the airport and back (a little confusing for a first time user given that we needed to be picked up outside terminal two on the second floor and weren’t sure when to call for pickup), but the hotel was disappointing We were put right near the lobby with all of the noises of folks coming into the hotel and leaving The air also didn’t allow for a fan option to cut down on the noise in the hallway

There also wasn’t a breakfast you could get without paying $14/$16 per meal Given how much we were paying, it wouldn’t have been asking too much for food The coffee was decent at least and the staff were friendly

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

My mom and I have stayed at this location twice, once in 2019 and again just a few weeks ago We were attending an event in the area near the airport, but choose to stay a bit further out For both stays we were able to spend each night sitting out in the lobby with our friends, chatting, enjoying drinks and catching up

We appreciate being able to take advantage of the large quiet sitting area and conference tableThe guest rooms are always clean and have high ceilings, and aren’t overstuffed with furniture, but there’s still plenty of room for two of us to spread out We didn’t have to schedule any housekeeping because we preferred privacy, but were able to acquire any supplies we needed with ease They also took note of our first floor request and were able to put the same hallway as our friends, a convenience that can’t be overlooked!The desk staff is always so courteous and accommodating I can’t remember the night manager’s name, but he was helpful and funny when giving us the extra coffee and supplies for the morning, including some extra decaf to “surprise” my mom with :)Overall we always enjoy our stay here at the Hilton Garden Inn in Schaumburg and we plan on returning in 2023 for next year’s event!

Sarah Cimarusti

Clean and easily accessible Nice person at the desk Check in was painless

Some things that underwhelmed me:1 No hot tub2 Hotels should start charging people children fees because they can make just as much if not more of a mess than a single middle aged dog3 Uncomfortable pillows4 They charge for breakfast What kind of soul-less place is this?

The room was nice and clean and the staff was friendly as well The pool was closed so we didn’t get to swim but maybe next time The concierge at the front desk was super helpful, it offers free breakfast in the morning but we were so comfortable in the beds we never got up early enough to eat it

There is a bar right next door that we went to and got absolutely smashed which is great cause we could just go right to our room and chill for the night I would definitely stay here again if I were in the area

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!

Beautiful, clean hotel Plenty of parking Staff were nice, and efficient

My room was clean and had plenty of nice extras, like soap, shampoo, conditioner in the shower, soap and lotion next to the bathroom sink, a keurig with coffee and tea, etc Would have liked some hot chocolate since I don’t drink coffee, but that’s just a suggestion Bed was comfy My only complaint (which isn’t the hotels fault) is that people let their kids run up and down the halls and be loud It would be nice if the check-in staff could mention to parents to please make their kids be respectful of other people Other than that, my stay was perfect, and I would definitely stay here again!

Shelly P

Our first time here Friendly front desk staff Our room was amazingly clean! Pool was titanic cold but we asked the front desk to turn on the heaters and they did

Hot tub was amazing! They did charge a $50 fee which stinks I did notice MOLD on the heater/air conditioner Morning breakfast was not too bad But over all we would definitely come back!

Eric Seil

My recent stay here was excellent- I enjoyed the courteous service I received This hotel is definitely a place to stay if you’re visiting ElginThe front-desk staff was friendly and very understanding

They were helpful, and made me feel like I was a good customer They’re customer-service friendlyOverall, I enjoyed my weeklong stay here while relocating for work This place is a definite to stay at for sure

This hotel is one of the nicest we’ve ever stayed at in its price range The room was comfortable and clean, the service was good and friendly, and the location was just what we needed with lots of food options nearby The only minor complaint I might have is that the bathroom was a bit awkward in our room, but the shower was fantastic and it was a minor complaint at most

Angela Blair

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL!! We stayed this past weekend for a wedding and it was the worst hotel stay I’ve ever experienced! No one in our wedding party got any sleep due to all the commotion and craziness going on at this hotel and the majority of our guest were In fear of coming out their room at night due to multiple Fights in the hallways BOTH Friday and Saturday nights, police coming out twice on Saturday, loud noises throughout the night inside the hotel and outside in the parking lot, smell of weed throughout the entire hotel and it seemed like the staff was real comfortable or used to these activities as this craziness continued throughout the night both Friday and Saturday! It was a straight up hotel brawl And to top it off the Hyatt charges $100 deposit hold per room…on top of their nightly rate, absolutely ridiculous!!! If your staying in that area shop stay somewhere else!! It was an absolutely traumatizing experience

Michael Kiska Jr

stayed four nights for work great rooms great staff only 4 stars for service cause breakfast is the one thing that needs work i dont think fresh scrambled eggs and some sausage is asking too much

especially when you’re already putting out them gross pre-made sandwiches and their coffee pumps were broke two of the four days I was there only little things though stay was great my only other complaint is the $4 cookie it should be $2!! conveniently right off the highway in a non-congested area, east road access and food nearby highly recommend

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

This facility was so clean, the staff were kind, welcoming and knowledgeable The room was amazing A separate bedroom, separate bathroom with toilet in it’s own room, sink and mirrors in their own room

And the living, dining and kitchen area were clean and roomy And the real fireplace!!! what a great experience for our group of four to hang out and enjoy one another the night before sending one of my sisters off to Texas for the winter The full breakfast in the morning was great as well I will definitely stay here or at any of the Homewood Suites in the future

Wakeboarder Girl

Treated myself to a blissful nite here during a very tiring move to another city The bedroom in the suite was so quiet once I closed the doors, the bed was so soft & comfortable, the shower was perfect, & I was able to bring my dogs with me, which was a very nice surprise This is definitely my all time favorite hotel

I can’t recommend it enough!

Karla Sturgeon

The rooms were very clean and the housekeeping staff are friendly, but the people at the desk were not very friendly! The desk person had a hard time setting up the right dates for our next visit They do not provide stoppers for the kitchen sink to wash dishes We like to cook some of our own food because we have some food allergies which is why we stay in this type of hotel

Venkat Chandramoleshwar

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Really nice Hotel, the rooms very clean and comfortable Nice patio on the side and with a bar included inside the lobby Break fast is a plus delicious mini Quiche

The only reason I don’t give a 5 star is that the break fast is the same for all days Some variety will be the cherry on top of the cake Definitely will come back and will recommend this hotel Price was reasonable

This hotel is terrible Several weeks ago I booked and prepaid a room with a king bed, which had a higher rate than a double queen room I’m very tall and a queen bed does not work for me

On arrival, I find that my reservation was meaningless and they’ve placed me in a double queen room due to their overbooking I explained to the front desk agent that this wasn’t my fault and showed her my reservation She got the night manager who was incredibly rude and told me that I should cancel my reservation and go somewhere else For a manager she has terrible customer service – she should probably go work somewhere else She refused to do anything about the hotel’s error in giving my room away nor did she try to make any adjustment to the higher rate that I’d initially paid to guarantee a king bed To top it off, she flippantly told me that this Marriott is not a corporate owned hotel – as if that somehow justifies the poor experience?

Very poor professionalism and managing of this property Prior to checking in, we had asked for the mobile key They said I couldn’t get it because I had to give a card on file, even though I already had one on file

They argued with me and said they couldn’t offer contactless check-in, but they advertise it and I’ve used in innumerable times before Turns out they CAN and they DID! So we were able to use our mobile key without stopping at the front desk Why say you can’t when you can?? Upon opening the door to our room, it was not serviced There was garbage on the floor, the beds were slept in, etc I was appalled as we’ve been using Marriotts for decades and never encountered a problem like this They apologized and gave us a new room on a new floorLater into our stay, I requested our room be serviced while we were gone since we were staying three nights, and they assured us it would be Got back that evening: no clean towels, no emptied garbage cans, or made beds Their pool was closed, but they had us use a neighboring workout facility’s indoor pool Appreciated, yes Convenient with kids, no Every single time we tried to charge to the room, we were met with indignation from a different employee insisting that it couldn’t be done, and yet in the end EVERY TIME, it was successful, AND we were overcharged on items! I wouldn’t recommend this location There are plenty of other options nearby
