This is a great vacation spot for people who are not fans of big crowds. The hotel was very nice, quite clean, with a helpful staff. The beach was great and not crowded at all. It's sandy with a bit of small rocks as you wade in, so if your feet are sensitive, it might be good to wear water shoes. The water was cold, but we got used it easily. The rooms come with a microwave and fridge, so we brought our own food for breakfast and lunch. We ate at Nolan's, the restaurant on site, for dinner each day. The food was delicious and the staff were so friendly. Despite all of the sand and water we tried not to track in from the beach, the lobby is quite clean, and a relaxing place to sit. We also sat in the courtyard by a fire, which was enjoyable. This was our first time at Illinois Beach State Park and at this hotel. It won't be our last. This will be a yearly vacation destination for us!

When I arrived. I looked around to see where I check in. When you walk in a restaurant is in front of you. No signage to indict where feont desk is. The lady at the little desk said "Can I help you?" I said check in?! She asked my name and ID. When I asked if it was lake view she had a attitude and said yes. The room WASN'T lake view. It was the rooftop. When i told her she said I wpuld have to contact hotels.com since i booked with them. The next morning we missed breakfast bc I wasnt informed when I checked in what time breakfast was. Thankfully there was a new front desk attendant and she got my kids some breakfast. The beach was absolutely beautiful and very clean. I do think they could put more garbage cans out so people can throw their trash away. Accessible bathrooms in hotel from the beach. Grest food at the restaurant. I would go back just not pay the extra for "lake view" bc I didn't get one.

Great Staff

The air conditioner in our room leaked, and staff went out of their way to make us comfortable, including fixing the a/c, cleaning and drying carpet, and bringing in a staff member’s large personal air purifier as I have mold allergies. The hotel was sold out for the holiday weekend, or they would have given us another room. Also said they’d refund 1 night of our 5 night stay.

Could be a 5 star with a little extra effort

I had to wait an hour after 4 pm to check in because short staff issues. There were stains on the chair pillows and crumbs on the couch. The toilet paper holder was almost falling off the wall, and there were bugs in the room. Other than that, my stay was relaxed, I enjoyed the multiple spaces in the suite, I loved how big the mini fridge was and the big bathroom, the steak dinner from Nolan’s was delicious and the service was great, and I saw the most amazing sunset from my bedroom window. I do really enjoy staying at the hotel and I will be back. I think that small fixes in the rooms, and a little more detail to cleaning would make it a better experience.
