Top Illinois Beach State Park Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Bannockburn-Deerfield

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and comfortable. I highly recommend"

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Waukegan Gurnee

8/10 Good

"The hotel was in an optimal location for our needs. The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean, although the corridors leading to the room needed a good vacuuming. The breakfast area was very crowded and all the seating was in use. The food was good, but they had a hard time keeping it well-stocked. Coffee and sausage stations were emptied of their respective products. Milk carafewas empty. Eventually, they were stocked again, but it appeared to be challenging to keep it all filled with the large crowd. Still, our one night stay here was exactly what we needed at exactly the right time and location and cost. We will stay here again."
