The kitchen/bar is very convenient. This is a suite. Comfortable. Parking is well-lit, easy and safe. Breakfast is pretty good, with nice coffee, eggs, pancakes, yogurts, cereals, toaster, juices and more. Lovely lobby. Helpful front desk people. Housekeeping whenever you need it. Lovely big swimming pool and excellent gym. Impressive lobby area. They have separate nice vending machine areas and also washing machines should you need to do a load. Truly full-service. All at a very affordable price. Quick drive to anything you may need, it is actually well-located to a lot of the Chicagoland areas. This is my go-to place to stay. Great value. Highly recommend.

We are definitely happy Comfort Inn Guests. We are experienced travelers so we have many hotels to compare with this one from USA, Mexico, plus Europe. Thanks for making this a great stay, we sincerely appreciate your hospitality.

It'd they are having an event you might have loud music, patrons or other disturbing noises in the evening hours. Rooms are clean but you can tell the stairwells and carpet are starting to show wear and tear. The reason for the star is because employee turnover seems to be high (red flag) and the manager has a pompous attitude. I complained about a difficult/confusing check in with a mobile app and unregistered guest and he wrote me a novel of a response. Couldn't even be bothered to read all of it... when someone shows you who they are, believe them. Stay at nearby hotel and if you like the brand there are two others within walking distance to this hotel.. which is unfortunately being run by a true bootlicker for his vacation perks.

In the large dining area there's a full hot breakfast every morning, with fruit & juice, yogurt, cereal, pancakes or my favorite...the waffle maker. There's fresh hot coffee all day. The rooms are gorgeous, the beds are soooo comfortable. There's a fridge, microwave and sink in the standard rooms, along with a table and chairs. If you order food, the staff will give you plates & utensils. The rooms are huge, lots of space, a flat screen tv & free wifi. There is a large laundry room with 2 washers and 2 dryers that work well, which is a true plus. There's a heated pool and a hot tub. There's a large flat screen in the social area, which has plush chairs, sofa & fire place. Out back there's an adorable patio, complete with 3 nice gas grills, tables & chairs, it's a good sized area. If you use a grill, again the staff will give you utensils and dinner ware. It's especially nice the way the patio is mostly enclosed by walls and trees, which blocks the wind but the sun has lots of access. The landscaping around the hotel is so pretty, there's a golf course out back. It is truly an incredible place to stay. It truly is a swanky place to stay, but what makes it absolutely the best, is the staff. Genuinely kind people, from the helpful kind people at the front desk, to the housekeepers, maintenance workers, landscapers, the shuttle drivers (Sonny is fun, upbeat, always smiling, caring & very quick witted, Sonny will say something to make you smile, laugh & brighten your day.) Robert, is a saint, works long hours & is still around when he's not on the clock. Robert pays attention, learns everyone's name & gets the shuttle riders to get to know each other. Robert goes the extra mile and then ten more. I truly feel he doesn't do his job just to make a living, Robert does his job because he loves people. His objective is to help people who are fighting cancer & help their care givers & family too. Robert helps in too many ways to mention them all, there is just so much he does for so so so many patients, but the nurses always told me he stopped in to check on me when I was getting my chemo. I was always sleeping when he stopped, but when the nurse would tell me, it touched my heart. It made me feel cared about, safe. My chemo was always late in the day and would end long after the shuttle stopped running. The Lotus & Robert made sure I got a ride back. The stress and anxiety that Robert & Jun spared me after chemo was priceless! That's the level of kindness & so much help, it's absolutely priceless. I want to thank Jun, you are an amazing, talented, intelligent, sweet man. Thank you for coming to get me after chemo, you have an infectious smile and you're calming, you are such a supportive, helpful, thoughtful, caring, genuine person. You would ask if I had eaten, not everyone would think about that. Jun, there were so many times you made me smile, and times you made my day the best. The times you sang were awesome. My favorite time you sang, your family had a dinner for your Dad's birthday. I came out in the lobby & there's kids every where. I adore kids & they were every where. 2-teen, each polite, happy. You insisted I come meet your family (which warmed my heart & I felt honored to have the chance to meet your family.) On my way back to my room, you asked if you could sing a James Taylor song for me. It was just us and you cover James well. I was there alone, you knew that. So you shared your family & food with me & then sang incredibly a song from one of my favorite singers, you knew that too. Thank you Jun! You're kindness is genuine. Thank Everyone at the Lotus! You're family, not just an amazing hotel!

To stay at Hawthorn Suites is to be confident nothing shocking, jarring, or otherwise outside the…read moreexperience of the average upper middle class traveler will occur. It's entirely possible to somnambulate through the entire check-in, residence, and wedding reception experience blissful in the knowledge that, within the confines of the establishment, nothing interesting or untoward will assail the senses. The bride evidently picked Wedding #2 and color scheme #6 from the menu, causing her wedding planner and Hawthorn to swing into action like a well-oiled machine. The evening was perfect - I'm certain it adhered exactly to the script. It was entirely without drama ... or passion ... or a pulse. The bride has an attractive and strong personality, yet the evening was flavored with vanishingly little of her personal touch. Instead of spending the evening feeling happy for her, I passed my time wondering why anyone (and especially she) would invest time and money on something so generic and cold. My impressions of ... The reception hall: Pre-fab room, completely conventional, mercilessly well-organized and intelligently arranged. It was "personalized" with dyed sashes, luckily of a different color than those chosen by the evening's other bride, who was installed in the otherwise identical adjacent reception room. Without the color-coded accents to identify the rooms, there would doubtless have been substantial unintentional co-mingling of guests from both parties. The entertainment: DJ with a table-mounted disco ball - playing every hackneyed wedding-centric song I've grown to hate. Fireworks (I am not making this up) set off outside, clearly visible through enormous windows, creating a backdrop for the bride and groom's first dance. I somehow did not ... ah ... feel the moment. The staff: Completely unobtrusive, quick, efficient, and numerous. They masterfully executed each of the tasks entrusted to them that evening: performing the ever-present-but-never-underfoot dance of dispensing hors d'oeuvres before dinner, serving dinners to every person in the room nearly simultaneously, making the for-show wedding cake vanish directly after it was cut, distributing perfectly cut pieces of cake immediately afterwards, and whisking away the used place settings and utensils with magical speed. The food: Well prepared and admirably tweaked versions of old standbys - one or two unusual ingredients in the entrees had a good effect. The improvised vegetarian kabob was quite nice. The suite: Quiet, comfortable, and tastefully appointed - a veritable refuge. The only time I heard the hysterics of the other bride's bridesmaid, who had the suite directly across from mine, (apparently her bf cheated on her that night with another girl in the wedding party) was when I ventured into the hall. I slept well and heard nothing from my neighbors while inside the suite. The appliances were all very nice, but the pots in the cupboards were cheaper than anything I've encountered outside of a child's playset, and there were only a couple utensils in the drawer (good thing I didn't have guests). The parking: One complaint - multiple advertisements stuck under my windshield wiper - whatever's on that slip of paper is not worth making me unbuckle and get out of the car to retrieve! Amenities: The fitness center was nice (if limited) and the vending machines got some late-night love. But, I feel like I missed the point of staying here, since I didn't indulge in the big draw (golf).
