Top Buffalo Park Forest Preserve Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Chicago Wood Dale - Elk Grove

10/10 Excellent

"Juan and Chyna were great when I yravel I stay here"

Hyatt Place Itasca

10/10 Excellent

"Pool was not open even tho they advertised they have a pool"

Motel 6 Arlington Heights, IL - Chicago North Central

8/10 Good

"The staff were very nice, and the room was clean. The only issues I had was that the room door was very hard to open. It would unlock, but the handle wouldn't turn. The other was the TV had a blue/purple tint to it that is was kind of hard to see."

Hotel Indigo Chicago-Vernon Hills by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"A little pricey. Room was clean and neat. Staff was very friendly. Would stay there again if in the area."

Motel 6 Rolling Meadows, IL - Chicago Northwest

10/10 Excellent

"bathroom very clean and updated, room and beds very clean. Helpful staff on check in and check out."

Hyatt Place Chicago/ Schaumburg

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is conveniently located, and the rooms are surprisingly large, comfortable, and very nice\. From a room and location standpoint, we were very pleased with our stay\. Unfortunately, the complimentary breakfast leaves a lot to be desired\. The powdered eggs and turkey bacon were definitely not highlights\. After four days, I can confidently say the best part of breakfast was the Jif peanut butter\. The front desk experience could also use some attention\. Communication was difficult at times, and the same employee seemed to be working when we arrived, when we went to bed, and again when we came down in the morning\. I’m not sure if she actually sleeps there or if the hotel is simply understaffed, but her attitude certainly reflected someone who may have been working far too many hours\. Overall, if you take the breakfast and inconsistent front desk service out of the equation, this is a lovely hotel with spacious rooms in a great location\. With a little improvement in staffing and breakfast quality, it could be an excellent place to stay"
