⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Illinois Beach Hotel I had such a wonderful stay at Illinois Beach Hotel! The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, with beautiful views and a welcoming staff. We ate at Nolan’s and the food was absolutely amazing flavorful, fresh, and served with great hospitality. It truly made the experience complete. Whether you’re visiting for a getaway or just stopping through, I highly recommend checking this place out. You’ll leave full, happy, and refreshed! 🌊✨

Overall, the place itself was nice. We went in October, so it was very desolate. However, I think this place would be good to stay at during the summer. At night it does seem kind of creepy going down the road to get there (dark and the speed limit is only 20 mph), but it is in a state park, so there is that.

Room didn't appear to have been clean properly. There was rubbish on the floor and a dirty flannel/wash cloth in the bathroom. The corridor outside the room clearly hadn't been hoovered, it was left dirty for the two days we were staying. The shower was cold on day two.

Clean it up

Really great location, however, there were cobwebs in the windows and Pineneedles all over. If they just had someone sweep the windows and the metal roofs where people can see out onto them from the windows, that would really improve the space. Also, they had an incredibly loud concert downstairs that was rather disturbing during the stay.

Great location, next to the beach and parkland everywhere else. Initially, booked me into a room that had not been cleaned! Otherwise nice room. You cannot beat the location anywhere north of Chicago.

I absolutely loved the view! So peaceful. We were there for my daughters graduation from the navy bootcamp, it was an easy drive to base. A very beautiful area! Staff was over the top! I loved it all. Took walks at the beach and the sound of the waves were amazingly comforting. We all had a blast! Food at the restaurant was really good! I had the ceaser salad my kids had the meatball sub and we were all very full and satisfied. It was delicious!! If i ever come back this way this will definitely be my go to place to stay!!!!! I do not remember the lady at the front desk name but she has a daughter that lives in abilene where i live, anyway she was so awesome! We had great conversations. I would give this place a 10 all day long!!!!

Every thing seems out of date. The carpets look so dirty every where. No toilet paper roll holder in room looked broken and never fixed. Bathroom smelled moldy the vents look so gross. Doors on exterior seemed to always be unlocked not safe feeling doos always proper open. Pool had been closed for over a year. Such a large beautiful pool not being utilized is such a disservice to the lake county community.
