The hotel's elevators were an issue. I read a review from three months ago mentioning that one elevator was down and that is still the case today. The other elevator was done when we returned from Six Flags. We had to walk up to the fourth floor. It didn't kill us but after putting in the miles walking and standing all day stairs where the last thing we wanted to climb. I will definitely stay here again.

Definitely outdated, a bit run down, and just not a very high-quality stay. The rooms are rooms,…read moreplain and simple. No special amenities, features, or even much in the way of conveniences. Ceiling tiles in hallways are broken or missing. There are extra charging ports and outlets on the end table near the beds. This would be helpful, except the outlets are so used, beaten and loose that my chargers and medical device wouldn't even stay plugged in. I had to go out and buy an extension cord just to finally be able to use my devices by the bed. Smaller room issues: The shower had hair in it when my family first arrived. The TV channel selection is mid with older style televisions. The air conditioner makes loud and odd sounds all night long. Crumbs and other debris were on the floor. Service is mostly okay. Counter people are usually nice enough, but service to the rooms leaves a lot to be desired. They only make beds, empty trash, replace towels/washcloths, and do any cleaning every other day. When people regularly use this hotel to go to Six Flags Great America, expecting everyone to use linens multiple days seems a little nasty. This especially rings true for the washcloths used to wash our bodies with. We had garbage and dirty towels piled up since we're on vacation and are eating out and shopping regularly. Eww. The Hampton Inn does serve free breakfast in the mornings. This is also generally just okay. You can make your own waffles, which my children do enjoy. There are also eggs, meat, and potatoes that you can grab, along with other assorted breakfast items (bagels, toast, oatmeal, etc...). The cooked items can vary from day to day on how well they taste or even look. I appreciate a free breakfast, it is available for 4 hours, and I mostly did enjoy the available items. There is a laundry room (also outdated), tiny fitness closet (technically a room), and a little pool. Nothing around here really stands out other than it's convenient proximity to Six Flags Great America and Gurnee Mills. This is our second time staying here, and I'm not sure I'll be booking it for my next family vacation.

This is a solid 2 to 3 star hotel…read more The building is dated, but has been renovated. There are foundational things that just can't be changed, but overall we found the hallways and the common areas to be kind of drag. The rooms we stayed in (we had two for our group) were clean, everything working properly and updated but not in a modern way. We stayed two nights and while the halls are pretty loud when people are talking or running thru, it was quiet and I got a good nights sleep. There is a fridge, microwave, small coffee maker in the room. TV worked great. Internet free WiFi was okay. One area that could make it better would be a bit of a step up on the free breakfast - it was busy in there and there are so many chairs and tables but they are large, heavy and awkward. The other area to improve would be the food itself - not much was offered (we were there a Friday and Saturday morning) and it could easily hold some more options such as more items to toast, hard boiled eggs, other grab/go options like yogurts, etc. Coffee station was stocked and decent. Key to this hotel is location - right off 94, next to Gurnee Mills and a quick walk/drive to many places to eat and shop. I likely wouldn't pick this again but we had a last minute trip and this worked for us.

I had to make 2 reservations as one night I was using points and the other I was paying for. Everyone was very helpful in general when I had questions. They do not have a fitness room (which is probably good as every one that I went into at a hotel was stinky so I walked out) but they would give me a pass to a fitness center not far away. They also offered to keep my cooler packs in their freezer until we were leaving. The room was very clean, the breakfast was a regular hotel breakfast except the pancakes. I will recommend the pancakes. I love that machine, fresh pancakes with no mess or fuss. They would have gotten a 5 stars if the room would have had a larger refrigerator (we had a small square fridge), if the fridge had a freezer, and the mattress would not have slid on the metal platform every time I got onto the bed. I am 5 foot and the bed was a bit tall for me, I could not just sit down on it. If you hit the mattress with your knee walking by the mattress moved. I suggested to them to put a rug gripper under the mattress. My sister had a firmer bed, mine was softer and I wish I would have taken the firmer mattress. The pillows were not for me, but I like a firmer pillow.

It'd they are having an event you might have loud music, patrons or other disturbing noises in the evening hours.

Hardwood floors (thank you, no mystery carpet stains), a pullout sofa for dramatic lounging, and beds so comfy they could qualify as emotional support furniture. There's an indoor pool and fitness center, which we nobly ignored bc waffles took priority. And speaking of waffles... breakfast was an AYCE carb carnival: cheese omelets, sausage patties, country potatoes, and DIY waffles that could make you question why you don'town a waffle maker at home (definitely getting one). Add in the cereal, yogurt, fruit, and juice fountain, and you've basically got a brunch buffet w no judgment!! Bonus points for the lobby hydration station: iced water and coffee/tea on tap like a fancy gas station. After every outing, that cold water hit harder than therapy. Six Flags is half a mile away, it's so close you could just walk there!! The staff were chill, friendly, and clearly used to herding families in town for boot camp graduations. Breakfast buffet was good!! Cheesy eggs, potatoes, bacon ,sausage, cereal, fruit, oatmeal, waffles, juices, milk, coffee.... Great fuel before heading to the airport!! Minor gripe: *The the shampoo/body wash bottles were so tiny you'd think they were made for Barbie's dream hotel. We ended up buying bigger, realistic human sized bottles. *Towels were thin and smaller than avg size . Overall, an older but solid stay... cozy, caffeinated, and just the right mix of comfy sleep and healthy hydration.

Stayed one night so didn't have much time to use the outside the room facilities, but the room itself was exactly what we needed. There is plenty of parking all around the facility (it is quite large in terms of area, not so much in terms of floors). Each of the entrances are controlled by key card, and it makes sense to move your car to the entrance/exit closest to your room, once you check in. The bathroom had one sink with plenty of counterspace, tub/shower combo. They do expect more than 2 people staying in the suite, so provided 4 towels. Water pressure was barely adequate and temperature was good, but easy to control. Dove products (soaps, lotions) were provided, which I hadn't realized was a thing. The temperature was a bit harder to control. Each room had its own floor climate control unit that could be used to turn on/off, but there was also a wall thermostat that seemed to be on. We just used the floor unit and the rooms got quite cooler, even with the hot outside temperature. Everything was worn, and could use a facelift...but the location is really good, and the charged price is commiserate with the value given. It wasn't very crowded (probably because of the newer hotels closer to the Mills)...so probably a good choice if needing a quick place to turn down without much notice.

All of them were great as well as the drinks. We even felt a little chilly in the pool area and the housekeeping guy (Oscar) turned up the pool temp and the area. My family is already looking forward to returning once the renovations are done. Can't wait to see the upgrades. Mr. Khayat also bought my son a few pizzas and chicken from his restaurant (Fatmans) which my Autistic son loved so much we had to stop there and get a few before we went back home to Milwaukee.
