Top Waukegan Harbor Hotel Reviews

Hotel Indigo Chicago-Vernon Hills by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommended hotel."

Staybridge Suites Chicago - Glenview by IHG

8/10 Good

"Common areas were clean and staff was helpful. Bathroom in desperate need of remodeling. Tub leaked, coating was peeling off of the floor of the tub. No maid service. Waited for 2 days, no new towels and no one showed up until I asked another room attendant if she had my room. She did not, then an hour later at 5:00 a maintenance man showed up and asked if I wanted my room cleaned. I had already obtained clean towels and declined his offer since I was leaving very early the next morning."

DoubleTree by Hilton Chicago - North Shore Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"Adequate parking; helpful staff; breakfast not included."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Prospect Heights by IHG

10/10 Excellent
