If guests do not know how to behave or be courteous that other people are staying in the hotel then they have no business staying in a hotel… screaming and fighting up and down the hall screaming kids last night was the first quite night. Staff is phenomenal. Hotel is perfect housekeeping is phenomenal. Other guests are not aware that there’s other people besides them in the hotel.

Absolutely loved this hotel. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. We ate breakfast two days at JoJo's which is situated in the same parking lot. The food was excellent, fresh and hot! There was plenty of parking if you're driving and the hotel is located in a perfect location. There's restaurants, shopping plaza's, fast food, gas stations, and they also have a casino in Fountaine Square. If I'm traveling again to North Chicago, Waukegan, IL area, I'll definitely stay here again!
