Grand Bear Resort at Starved Rock

Grand Bear Resort at Starved Rock

10/10 Excellent
"I really liked how spacious it was, the large windows, the beds were very comfortable, and above all, it was very quiet. It was an excellent place to relax. I just think some details need to be checked regarding cleaning. For example, the refrigerator and the dining room window didn't have a blind that could be closed for more privacy."
