SpringHill Suites by Marriott Chicago Waukegan/Gurnee

10/10 Excellent

"The place was clean all around, the service was really friendly and overall it was a nice stay. I would recommend updating their breakfast times (earlier start time for weekends) and adding either more food prep space or additional choices if possible. Ultimately it was one of the better hotels we have stayed at in a couple years. "
