"Clean and nice"

"good hotel not much to say"

Great Wolf Lodge Illinois

10/10 Excellent

"Kids had a blast! So did the adults."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Chicago Waukegan/Gurnee

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, casino right next door, Walmart just across the street, walking distance to a number of restaurants, nice safe location."

Hotel Gurnee

10/10 Excellent

"Right away as you walk to the door, it was hay bales and pumpkins and fall festival. I walked in through the doors and was surprised by those beautiful lobby. To to my left as I walk through, I noticed the bar which I ended up having three amazing blackberry margaritas on the rocks.😉 I was a bit early, but the front desk was very accommodating and got me into my room. Which was on the first floor just around the corner. The hallways themselves remind me of a vintage hotel, dark wood. But the room itself was light and airy very clean. Although they do not have any charging ports in any of the room, so make sure you bring a USB charger along with the cord. The pool area is amazing and very large. It was indoor plenty of space for the kids with cabanas all around it. I was very surprised.. outside of that is a courtyard with bistro tables that surround a lighted fountain. Remember to look up the disco balls in the trees make it fun. The gym is a really good size with a lot of options to work out. It is located across the street from Gurnee Mills mall. they have atypical breakfast in the morning muffins fruit coffee, that sort of thing. But the big show happens at 9 o’clock with a buffet for $19.95. Delicious. 👍👍 Anyway it was an excellent choice. So book it, you deserve it!"
