“Nice place but better options for me”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

I've stayed at this Holiday Inn 3 times in the last few years, last time being back in May. I visit the area a lot and this is not my favorite hotel but I have to say it has the biggest pool around with a fountain in the middle so it's well liked by kids. The hotel and rooms are clean but you can tell it's getting old without any recent updating. There are several newer hotels in the area for the same price that include free breakfast and some even have free happy hour drinks and food. I'm a big fan of free breakfast so I usually stay at the Comfort Suites and Country Inn in Elgin or even the Holiday Inn Express in Algonquin. They do have a Bennigan's restaurant/bar in the lobby which is nice when you want to have food and drinks without having to drive anywhere. Also within a few minutes drive are several restaurant options, a mall and even the Grand Victoria Casino. O'Hare is about 25-30 mins away if no traffic, if leaving during the morning rush you might want to allow up to an hour to the airport.

Room Tip: Get a suite if you need the extra room and fridge.

“NOT a HOTEL TO REMEMBER”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

If you choose to stay here, keep your eye on the bill and the linens. It's a shabbily run establishment. We were billed 3 months later for a 'missed' night.

“Enjoyed the stay, would stay again ..”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2011

We have been traveling the US for 12 days straight, staying in different hotels almost every night of our trip and found this hotel to be above average overall. Compared to the previous Holiday Inn we stayed in the night earlier (Louisville/Clarksville) this hotel was 100% better. The room was a good size, the king sized bed was very comfortable and most importantly the room was very clean. The indoor pool was ok, but not overly convincing it is cleaned regularly.

The front desk staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs, big plus.

If we were in the area again we would not hesitate to stay at this hotel.

“Great folks...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011

Long day of travel and I was looking forward to a nice relaxing place... IMO I would rank this as a below average Holiday Inn facility that needs some upgrades to bring its interior and mechanical systems up to par. Heating cooling and furniture would be #1 on my list.

Cleanliness was apparent and the front desk / restaurant staff were very accomodating and pleasant.

“It was okay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2011

My room was clean, that's a priority for me. Also, the employees were very courteous and friendly. Other than that, the fridge I requested froze my food, so it was worthless. The exercise room had two treadmills, one of which was inoperable. I would have no problem staying here again, but it isn't the BEST place to stay...
