Hampton Inn

Not very impressed with this hotel. Front desk staff wasn’t very helpful or friendly. The room rate was high and quality was low. We checked in on Friday & ended up getting two rooms, one was a «smoking» room bc that’s all they had avail and it smelled pretty nasty and stale. Not sure why but the nonsmoking room was more expensive and didn’t have a microwave/​fridge like the smoking room. Elevators are old and shaky. The rooms weren’t very clean & had Dust/​webs on the lamp shades. The back of the computer chair was broken and the leather arms were ripped up. The sink kept clogging and took a long time to go down. We had a few spiders in our room and also found pieces of old food on the floor so that was gross… some of the tv channels didn’t have a picture. King bed had a shaky/​loose bed frame & the pillows were tiny (twin size pillows or smaller) and very uncomfortable. Overall, I don’t recommend staying here.

Meh! Good looking hotel. Front staff pretty nice, I think I got stuck with a newbie tho. She struggled to check me in, what could have been a 5 minute interaction turned out to be 15 – 20. No big deal. Pool is nice. Room is nice. Has a funny balcony and doors to which are screwed shut and cannot be opened. Everything is nice, why the 3 stars? Well that’s just it… it’s nice. IT IS NOT $ 180 NICE!!! At this rate I’d expect much more, a bigger breakfast, funky fun toiletries, nicer features, bigger rooms. I know I’m in Chicago, but I’m well north of the city. Sure it’s by six flags but there’s plenty of other hotels.
*quick post sleep review: room is two full beds. A I’ll bed with 2 people is not easy. I had to switch beds in the middle of the night. They are comfy tho. Also the eggs for the breakfast are a horrible science experiment gone wrong. I’ve had bad fake eggs before but these win. The rest of the breakfast tho was really good. 3 stars remain!

unlimited free milk all day! this was the best! i was absolutely delighted to hear this news!

Nicer than I was expecting. After seeing some of the comments and the location, I thought it would be a little more beat up due to all of the families and kids that went there while going to the amusement park. Went there during the off season for work and the hotel was fine, quick check in, basic free Hampton breakfast, cookies at night, etc.
Room was nice and quiet, no refrigerator, but you could hear the person next door talking loudly on the phone, so not sure if just my room or what. The pub in front of the hotel was pretty good and you could walk to it, and there are other options right nearby (McDonalds, mall down the road, etc. depending on what you’re looking for). Price seemed pretty affordable, would stay here again.

This hotel has been in this location for a while and looks a little lackluster on the outside. However, our room was extremely clean, the beds especially. Everything was very clean and fresh, the bathrooms, the furniture, the pillows etc. The check in was easy and the breakfast was very good. If in Gurnee again we’ll stay here!

We are never disappointed at a Hampton Inn. And the one in Gurnee, IL lived up to our expectations. The warm cookies and milk, the most comfortable beds, and friendly staff made our stay great!

I had a pretty enjoyable stay at this Hampton Inn. Our room was $ 59/​night for the Christmas holiday. Our room was average size, with two comfortable queen-​size beds, up on the 5^th (top) floor with a view of surrounding buildings towards the direction of Golden Corral and Key Lime Cove. It is also located in a town with a large selection of shopping and dining.
Most of our service was good. After deciding to stay another night, we told the front desk of our decision, yet throughout the day we still got employees coming to our room wondering why we were not checked out. That was a tad irritating, but other than that, the employees were nice and helpful, including our housekeeper, and the people working in the lobby.
I think the best thing about this hotel is that you get a lot for your money. The room may not have been spectacular, but we spent most of our time out anyway. They serve continental breakfast daily from 6AM to 10AM, and if you’re in too much of a hurry to sit down and eat, they pack bags of some breakfast items for you to grab on your way out (muffin, apple, water bottle, mints, granola bar). The breakfast was great, with an array of items (though I wish they had more variance in types of cereal). They also have complimentary tea, coffee, and hot chocolate in the lobby around the clock, and one night they even had a variety of fresh-​baked cookies that you could grab as well. The front desk even provides free water bottles, and there are drinking fountains that you can refill them with rather than paying $ 2 at the vending machine for a new one. The lobby is a nice seating area; you could go down there and relax in front of the TV, read a book in peace, or browse the internet using the free WiFi.
Overall, a stay at a good hotel for a great price!

I was extremely happy with my stay here this past weekend. It’s within walking distance to six flags, and we were able to get a package where we got discounted tickets through the hotel. There’s always coffee and tea in the lobby, the room was super clean — which is the most important thing in my opinion, and the staff was very friendly. Plus, the breakfast was good quality. Overall, this hotel was an excellent value and we will be staying here the next time we go to six flags!

Not my first pick by a long shot, I’m a Hilton Diamond member and this place is not up to par! Old, dingy and lacking… Rooms are as damp and sticky as can be, especially in the summer time! My shoes even stuck to the carpet YUCK! Something had ‘sprayed’ against the headboard of my double bed (don’t want to even think about what that was). There are locks on all balcony doors so forget about getting some fresh air. I’ve stayed at Super 8’s that are nicer.

Been staying here for biz (Uncle Sam) for about 2 years and while the outside is a little rough, the staff keeps the inside as clean and fresh as can be. Fresh cookies around 730pm doesn’t hurt and the staff is very courteous and professional. Also, they have complimentary gym passes at local gym about ½ mile away which helps…

I am a hilton/​hampton inn regular and this place was not up to par… We had a king room with a pull out. The pull out was on top of the desk and air conditioner leaving no room to get to either. Too much furniture also made the room very cramped. The bathroom sink was not in the bathroom and super tiny… The continental breakfast was little to be desired it was wiped clean an hour before it closed down with very little left to eat. On an upside the staff is very friendly

It wasn’t a bad price– $ 80 for a queen-​sized bedroom. It is apparent that the building itself is aging– I wouldn’t have trusted the building from the OUTSIDE– inside is acceptable. The owners have done what they can to keep up to the other hotels in the Hilton chain. This hotel is located in a central location, but the mall, Walmart, Target, and other popular shopping locations are over the interstate on the other side of town.
The bathroom is smaller than most, but I cannot say for sure if it is just OUR room, or the arrangement is throughout all the rooms. The room itself was decent– an older-​looking couch sitting comfortably in front of a coffee table, desk, mini fridge, and microwave in-​room. The towels are curled up in a quaint compartmental cabinet above the toilet. Like all Hamptons I’ve been to, necessities are organized in a homely and welcoming manner.
I did get a bit of an off feeling from the front desk, but that might have just been the gentleman himself. My party was short a toothbrush and a razor, and the desk offered disposable replacements for the morning.
The cleaning staff was friendly– we’d forgotten to put a «sleeping» tag outside, and the staff knocked politely several times before I opened it. It was 8:30AM which struck me as a peculiarly early cleaning time, so I asked if she could come back in a few hours and she smiled and apologized– very friendly. Be sure you remember that tag if you’re a «late» sleeper!
Continental breakfast was yummy as always. It wasn’t super fantastic– but we weren’t at a Marriott after all! The diced potatoes were a bit soft, but the gravy disguised that just fine. Coffee is always out at the front!

I am a Hilton Honor member and always stay at Hilton hotels when traveling. This Hampton is nice and renovated. Love the USB ports in the room for charging. The hotel is nice. The elevators are old and the one on the right sounds like its going to have an issue someone soon. The wifi is extremely slow. The only other thing is what a waste to have an outdoor pool. Any hotel with an outdoor pool in the Midwest is foolish. No one uses it either every time I’ve stayed here.

I’m most thankful that a hotel finally showed the mrs that we don’t need to spend $ 200+ per night to have a nice stay.
2 USB charging ports and a couple extra outlets between the beds were an instant hit! Beyond that, there were outlets in just about every electrical device including 2 in the front of our microwave?!?
My AT&T LTE connection was much faster than the complimentary Wi-​Fi offered here, but it didn’t matter much since we didn’t bring the ROKU.
Some other niceties included the 32″ Panasonic Viera, full-​length body mirror, prompt maintenance response, multi-​function shower head and «Reservoir Dogs» on Showtime HD tonight.
Now, it’s time to see if Mr. Orange can keep his mouth shut and stay undercover this time around… followed by day 2 at Great America!

Hotel was nice and convenient for my business trip. Breakfast was good and the grab bags at the front counter containing a water, fruit, fruit bars, etc are a nice touch when you don’t have time to eat at the buffet (or you want a snack later) Evening fresh baked cookies are a nice touch too. Overall we were satisfied with our stay with one exception. The gym is horrid. The equipment is about the cheapest, poorly put together crap I have ever had the displeasure of using in a Hotel. In all honest it was dangerous in that pieces were loose, falling off the elliptical and one could easily turn an ankle. The pin holding the seat in place fell out on the recumbent bike when I was riding.

Super *FRIENDLY* hotel!
I stayed here once during one of the coldest winters in Chicagoland last winter (Jan-​Feb 2013), and only stayed here once for a 3-​night stay. I ended up switching to a different Hampton Inn, as it was closer to my destination, newer, and — I believe — 100% smoke-​free. One of the Hampton Inns in this area is not (please correct me if I’m remembering wrong), so be sure to ask if this may be a concern for you.
Since the initial heater in the room wasn’t working properly /​warm enough, they provided me with a space heater in my room — including one of the staff at the registration desk giving up hers, wow! Now *THAT* is customer service. Maintenance then replaced the one in my room the next day — and was very friendly, as well.
Bed:
— Mattress was not super comfy
— Mattress covers fit the bed (unlike with Marriott)
Bathroom:
— Towels smell good (not that weird burnt smell, like with Marriott)
Kitchenette:
— Microwave included
— Water (I think) available upon request (perhaps based on status)
Nightlight
— I think these may be provided in all the rooms (which I secretly liked); don’t judge! :-)

This hotel is convieniently located near Six Flags Great America. Also, if you just need to rest while traveling, it is a minute off of I94.
The rooms are welll kept, the staff is friendly and helpful.
There is no fitness center or facilities on the premises but they will give you a pass to the local center just down the street.
There is a very good complimentary breakfast too. Can also grab a «breakfast on the run» if you are in a hurry.
The beds, like all other Hamptons I’ve been in, are fantastic.
Also, free wi-​fi.

Yeah, so, driving from Kenosha to Aurora… starting at 2:45AM, after having been up since the previous 5AM? I got this far… and gave up.
At that point, I was falling asleep at the wheel, so I’d have slept on about anything at that point. However, this is just like every other Hampton. Super comfy beds, friendly staff, everything I expect from Hampton. Unfortunately… no bathroom ventilation. On the list. I missed the breakfast… since I was fast asleep… but I’m sure it was nice too. The front desk clerk who checked me in offered me late checkout, given the hour, but I turned it down.
The rate was cheap too — not that I think there’s a lot of Six Flags guests staying here on a 20 degree February day. The parking lot did seem pretty full though, I had a momentary worry that maybe the place was full, which would have *crushed* me. I doubt I’ll have to make that drive at that time again any time soon, but it’s nice to have this option.

I’ve never been to a hotel where the staff was this friendly. All smiles, quick moving and solution oriented.
Our room wasn’t anything special but still very clean and nice. But the beds we’re shockingly comfortable. If I could, I would carry out the bed on my back and take it home with me.
I think the breakfast buffet could use some more healthy and fresh options but I can’t really complain about something that’s free.
Free wifi, breakfast, parking and all the amenities you can need (toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, shaving cream, razor, etc…). What more can you ask for?

*note we stayed at the hotel at an employee rate.
We had a room with two double beds and smoking, not what I wanted. The GSA asked us if we would like to switch, my boyfriend said sure a king bed if you have it.
The gave us a beautiful king room, with a sitting area. It was a nice surprise, and bonus it was non smoking.
There is also free wi-​fi. The pool is bean shaped and outdoor so we did not partake in it.
Breakfast was served in the lobby. They had cereal, danishes, toast, biscuits, muffins, and the special was a bagel with egg cheese and bacon.
It was a good way to start the day off, and to cut down on our spending at Six flags.
I very nice place to lay your head, when spending multiple days at Six Flags.
