The house was fine. Water had distinctive smell to it. The house was clean. While we were there, we received about 8 inches of snow. It would have been helpful to have the snow removed or a shovel. We had to use a broom to clear a path.

If you never been here its rural and rather dark at night. Have a game plan or make sure you have GPS on your phone. Other than that, no complaints. Nice quiet area.

I grew up here, so none of it was really new to me. We did make sure to stop at our food places while we were there; Plum Garden, Portillos, Happy Jacks for the Ice cream, and Lou Malnati’s for the best Chicago style pizza.

3/5 - Okay

Mchenry itself is ok but Hampton Inn Mchenry is pretty great!
