"Very clean and safe environment."

Hampton Inn Chicago - Gurnee

10/10 Excellent

"We stay here often on this property. And they just upgraded the hotel. Everything is very clean, neat, tidy, staff is wonderful. Do not love the new Green system for the heating and air-conditioning. Have stayed here in the hot months and the cold months and unless you were actually moving around in your room, the temperature control does not work."
