The room was not ready when we got there for early check-in, even though we called ahead. The room was not clean and conditions were very worn. Worst of all, the heater in the room made a terrible knocking noise all night. The staff was nice and it was great to be able to bring our dog at only $20.

Convenient location.
Says breakfast included and signs at facility say SuperStart breakfast which would lead you to believe it is a descent breakfast. Well it was just cereal and maybe a doughnut. When i book a room i factor in a breakfast into the price of the room to determine where i am going to stay. Very misleading.

We actually did not stay. We walked in. Looked at our room. The shower wall had a large hole in it. The bed spread had a hole in it. The ceiling was messed up. The paint job looded unfinished. We asked for another room, while warning the staff that if it's not better, we'll ask for our money back. Went to the second room. It was not much better. Decide that we did not want to pay for 5 nights of this and so, asked for our money back and had a very nice stay at another hotel.

What I did not like. It was a very cold, clear, beautiful night. Power went out for 3-4 hours and kids now have the FLU because of the loss of power/heat that night. NO consideration for my kids. NO partial compensation for the night of inconvenience . I expected more from the name of Wyndham. No back up generators. They had this was an at of GOD.

The property is old and worn. The walls in the bathroom were desperate for fresh paint. The bed was comfortable but the smoke detector blinked a bright light all night.

We needed a place to sleep for the night and this hotel was close and reasonably priced. With that in mind, the hotel itself is OK. The room smelled musky and damp. I did not sleep well due to noise constantly in the hallway at night from other guests. All of the breakfast was mostly gone by 730am. I would most likely not stay here again unless I was in a pinch.

I was told that the first floor was a non smoking floor and it totally wasn't. It seemed as if every room had a smell of smoke coming out of it as I passed to get to my room. All night long, whomever was above me was walking heavily and making chair noises until 3 am. I had a horrible night sleep. I did not return for the second night's stay because it was so bad.

I thought Illinois was a no smoking indoors, public placing. Tbey had smoking rooms here which i unknowingly booked. Had to switch rooms and ended up with a crappy small room. Window broke being \"locked\" shut with a stick. Pillows are about as thick as a klenex. No closet for hanging anything. The bathroom sink height was made for toddler. The paper thin walls and hearing every noise/creak made when the people upstairs move. Do not stay here. I paid way too much money for this room.

This property has an odor of stale cigarettes in the lobby, and this wafts up to the rooms upstairs. Also, I can see where the property has attempted to update the property, yet these updates are poorly done, or worn out. This seems to be a common theme of the Super 8 brand, as I experienced similar in a town south of here as well.

Nothing unique. I’m not sure about how well it’s cleaned since the shower didn’t work! Had to try and wash hair in the sink-
My wife wasn’t able to shower either or try to was hair in the sink since there was only 1 shampoo packet. There was 3 bars of soap but if the shower wasn’t working I imagine I’m not the only one who couldn’t shower. I will let the staff know when I check out. I hope I will get something if a rebate but I’m not counting on it.

I actually did not stay at the property. My husband accidentally reserved for the wrong day and time. Upon arriving at the motel the worker was not friendly, he kept saying we didn’t have a reservation and when we realized it was the wrong time and date he didn’t even try to help. He just said we had to contact the 3rd party we reserved through. We asked if we could check in earlier and he kept saying they had no rooms available when we clearly saw rooms that were not being occupied. When we tried to cancel the reservation through Expedia we were informed we could cancel but we wouldn’t be getting a refund. It’s a shame that you all are comfortable with keeping people’s money! I will never use Expedia again for any reservation!!

The big flat screen TV didn't work so they moved me to another room. The new rooms tb was half the size of the first one, but it worked. I got a room with a single bed so I would have a comfortable chair to sit on. The chair in the new room was dirty, ripped and falling apart. I was on the 2nd floor yet, there was a big cricket in residence. Parking by the front door was full, parked around back to find the back door broken. Since anyone could walk through this door from the outside I did not feel safe staying there. The overall look of the place is worn down and in need of updating. The cosmetics of a hotel can be overlooked as long as it's clean and safe. This place was neither. I would never recommend this place or stay there again.

Regarding Super 8 Crystal Lake, IL reservation # 72619447774292 on 7/29/23 Nowadays reservations are made through companies like EXPEDIA, so it is not on the motel when theres an issue. They could care a less! We stay in motels frequently for pleasure and this was by far the WORST MATTRESS WE HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. We didn't choose the $66 motel, rather at $133 per night one would expect a good bed. We want to be refunded our $133 immediately.
