Top Illinois Railway Museum Hotel Reviews

Abbey Resort and Avani Spa

8/10 Good

"Friendly and Helpful. Had a lovely room facing the Harbor and Lake. Quiet when I needed it. Had a spa day but it was very expensive. Loved the water aerobics class in the Spa, wish I could have done it each day but could not afford the spa more than 1 day. Ate at the main restaurant (240?) , delicious food with very good service and felt comfortable eating by myself there. Whirlpool was broken twice which was a disappointment Did not use arcade and fitness room Nice area to hop onto the lake path Swam at LG beach, very clean."
