Comfort Suites Grayslake near Libertyville North
Stayed for one night. I was looking for a quiet, conveniently located, and clean place to stay. All three criteria were very well met. In addition, staff were efficient and succinct communicators. If I happen to need lodging again in this area --will definitely return. Highly recommended!
