Top Marengo Hotel Reviews

The Cove Of Lake Geneva

10/10 Excellent

"We had a loft room, very nice, the only complaint we had was the upstairs bedroom bed was a little hard, not comfortable. Otherwise everything was great!"

Abbey Resort and Avani Spa

8/10 Good

"Location, and ability to use spa with a day pass was very enjoyable. I think for the luxury price of room, all pools & amenities should be working. Hot tub in pool area was not."

Chicago Marriott Northwest

8/10 Good

"This hotel is beautifully maintained and easy to access. Parking is free and ample. The lobby is grand and well appointed. Staff were friendly and professional. The only reason I give 4 stars and not 5 is because of the beds. Mattresses are not great; hard and dimpled. Ours seemed like it was time to replace it. Pillows were also very flat. Woke up with a backache."

Baymont by Wyndham Rockford

8/10 Good

"The room was spacious and clean. Bed and bedding were comfortable. Good upholstered chair, refrigerator, lighting, lots of outlets. Breakfast coffee was good, always fresh and hot from an espresso based machine. TV couldn't connect to Wi-Fi. Room A/C cooled but didn't seem to lower humidity. Downstairs back door to outside did not always lock securely."

Holiday Inn Chicago Northwest-Elgin by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Top tier hotel!!!"

Lodge Geneva National

8/10 Good

"The Craft de Italia Restaurant menu at Lodge Geneva National was very limited. I ordered the pork tenderloin with asparagus. The tenderloin was tasty but was too salty. The asparagus was inedible. It was unchewable. My wife said that it is just a decoration. Then why put it on a food plate. The price of the selection was high enough that it could have included a potato and/or a vegetable. I do not recommend this restaurant. The connected restaurants at nearby Geneva National are too inconvenient to go to, especially at night. The outside pool, bar and fire pit are excellent. The room also was very good."
