We really enjoyed our stay at this Best Western. Hot breakfast with protein everyday. Every staff member from desk to housekeeper were the friendliest we have ever encountered at a motel! Comfortable bed in rooms with mood lighting. I can’t say enough good about our stay. The entrance drive into the motel is a little tricky to find on busy highway but we’ll worth the effort.

There were some issues during check in due to training new employees which is completely understandable, they gave me my key card since it was taking so long and let me go ahead. The hotel was clean, the room was very nice, the pool was very clean, breakfast was good for a hotel breakfast. We stayed during a wrestling and basketball tournament so all hotels were booked in the area, the place was completely packed and the staff were constantly busy but even so they were all very courteous and kind. I don’t usually leave reviews but when I booked this hotel I wasn’t looking for much and was pleasantly surprised and impressed. The only real downfall was that I couldn’t understand a word of the gentleman checking me in, but I can’t understand anyone with the slightest accent, so no fault of his. Thank you for a pleasant experience!

Hotel is currently being renovated and the floors are peeling up badly. They should not give out rooms that need to be renovated, we declined two rooms that we were given, they did end up giving us one that had been done and that was nice. We were originally told the pet fee was $15 per day and when we arrived it went up to $30 per day, I didn’t appreciate that.

It was reasonably priced compared to other options during the time we traveled and had a pool which when traveling with our kids is a must. Close to restaurants and activities. It was okay for a nights stay. However, the room we had was clean but floors creaked and felt off balance in places. Bathroom floor wasn’t as clean as rest of room. Bring your own toiletries. I usually travel with mine but I thought for one night I could do without but no shampoo or conditioner provided and only small bottles of soap. Not the usual. Room looked updated but not well done. And the reason I probably would try another hotel, the walls were paper thin. We heard everything from the rooms on either side of us, above us and in the hallway.

My adult grandson and I stayed at your hotel this weekend. For the most part, we enjoyed our stay, beds were comfortable and fresh, love all the plump pillows and we slept well. Fridge, coffee and microwave in room, nice. Ice machine, pop and snack machine and pool were conveniently located. Grandson enjoyed breakfast.

Unfortunately we could hear everything in the hall and in the room adjoining ours, (Kids upstairs bouncing off the walls at 1am. Not your fault!)

Room was a little on the small side, but manageable. I missed having a table and a couple chairs and just a chair or recliner to relax in before bed.

Improvements:
*Lighting in desk area. There is none at all.
*Floors were dirty, Should have been mopped. I walked barefoot for a short time and I had to rewash my feet, which got very dirty, before putting sox and shoes on!
*Towels are quite thin. 😞
*Full length mirror is located in such a strange spot, you cant see yourself in it.
*Grandson wanted to work out but 2 of the machines were broken.

Registration and checkout was pleasant and easy. Nice ladies! Price was great! Less expensive than originally quoted.
Next time we come to town, we will probably stay with Best Western again.

The hotel is well located, the staff is friendly and diligent, and the rooms are impeccably clean. The breakfast is standard for this class. It's a good place to stay at a reasonable cost.
The floor laminate is coming loose in some areas, and the internet connection could be improved.

This hotel is marked as pet friendly. I booked and prepaid for a room. Upon arrival I was denied check in because the hotel only has four pet friendly rooms and they were already all taken. No apology or alternate accommodation offered.

The people were nice, but the property itself seemed to be new but in our room, maybe we had the worst room. The flooring was buckled and is going to need to be repaired. I don’t know if there has been water damage or what happened but we checked out.

Call before you go to not have an issue

The hotel was great very kind staff and very clean the house keeping was great and even helped pick up after my 3 kids when we were out by neatly placing their toys and things along the counter for them.
The issue was the hotel is under construction because the majority if the backside is torn off and being replaced due to mold/mildew and rotten wood/framing. It was open so you could clearly see the insulation and framing 2x4s being cut out and replaced from the mold/mildew/rot. Now its possibly a termite issue but didnt look like it. Also they had 3/4 of the parking lot blocked off for both this and having the parking lot refinished.
Definitely need to ask if this is all done with before you go

Close to lobby parking was a plus. Very spotty WiFi on first floor. Room smelled musty. Water softener was too strong. We didn’t use the pool or other facilities. Only tried coffee at breakfast

The shower is nice and housekeeping came most days. However the breakfast is awful. Packets of oatmeal, now a yogurt machine. Hot water dispenser never properly cooks the oatmeal. For these they provide \"mix ins\" which included dried apples amd brown sugar. That's it. The hot opetions always involve biacuits and gravy, then maybe powdered eggs and the thinnest bacon on the planet. I ended up eating breakfast out several days as I was so hungry after the skimpy options

Wonderful front desk service, but the hotel itself was very unkept. Floors in the room were cracked & lifted, bathroom full of mold, paint peeling from walls and strange stains on bathroom door.

Our stay at Best Western was good. The amenities at the hotel are actually very accommodating. This stay has a gym, a pool, and breakfast in the morning. The front desk staff were very helpful. Prior to check in they allowed us to leave our bags up front until room was ready. They also got us checked in early as well. The room was very large and was decorated very tastefully. I liked the incorporation of the northern Illinois landmarks into the wall art. The room was also very clean too. There were a couple items that had shown a little age, but it was nothing other than a little wear and tear. The lighting in the hallways appeared to be a little dim as well but it didn't affect the stay at all. This hotel is placed right near several dining and shopping centers which is kinda of an added bonus if you like shopping. We would definitely stay here again in the future

Property was clean the staff was nice. The elevator needs service and also needed to be mopped and the floor in my room had dips and made noise when you walked. Sound like the floor was going to cave in. But it was a clean room and staff was nice.

Our room appeared to be in the middle of renovation as there were a lot of unrepaired drywall areas and water stains on the drywall. The ceiling exhaust fan was filthy as was the HVAC unit in the room as it could not adequately dehumidify the roof and blew black moldy dust into the room. The housekeeping staff storage and laundry adjacent to our room and they were very loud very early in the morning. Would not stay there again

Average

Not awful, but not wonderful. Cool shower in the morning for some reason. Coffee in room not replenished. Great king sized bed and excellent air con. Blind didn’t work but as the view was of the car park this didnt matter! No safe. Breakfast was a pretty standard Motel DIY affair.

As the week end went on the elevator would sound like it needed oiled or maintenance on done on it. Wasn't real comfortable getting on it but wasn't able to carry luggage up steps.
The staff was friendly. Upon checking in and getting to room, we discovered there was no information as to restaurants to order in. We were told \"we aren't allowed to put that information out\".
The same with TV channels, the people at the desk were helpful in giving suggestions for restaurants, and she did give us brochures with information. The television reception was ridiculous, we had to watch in between the internet trying to connect. We also heard other people comment on the same thing.
The toilet stool would actually rock if you weren't careful and the toilet paper dispenser would fall out of the wall.

The chairs that were in the room to set in was crammed back in the corner and worn out.

For the price we paid, we expected better.
