My overall experience was very good here. The location was convenient, close to places to eat, near a mall and other needed retail outlets. The room was clean, in good repair and everything worked as it should. I was greeted at the front desk by a young man named Jun who was very helpful and knowledgeable. No problems with my... More

I was not impressed with this hotel. The front desk staff was borderline rude and not overly helpful. I had booked a room thru Priceline at a 'name your own price' when I booked the room, I called as per Priceline's suggestion and asked to have a double. To which the front desk person said fine, as long as they... More

Dear Sir/Madam, I apologize for your inconvenience during your last visit. We can assure you that the front desk will be accomodating and helpful to you. However, with name your price reservations, you are always booking a standard (run of the house) room. Having said that if you need a room with 2 doubles, there is a minor upgrade fee.... More

I agree with another reviewer that this location is not up to the other Country Inn and Suites levels. The front desk staff (on all shifts) is generally not friendly or very helpful. When I asked about a fitness center they told me I could go next door to the Best Western. When I got to the room the directory... More

Our one night in the Gurnee, IL Country Inns and Suites was a delightful experience. Situated near the gate of 6 Flags Great America, in the midst of other motels, this motel is probably booked solid during the summer. In December it is empty and reasonably priced. We checked in early on a Sunday afternoon so that we could watch... More

We stayed 3 times at this location this summer and we never would have come back two other times if Kyle was not there. He was the most caring guy, helping us with anything we needed.

We have always like Country Inn and Suites, for their cleanliness and comfortable rooms. Not so much with this one. Definitely in need of some "deep cleaning" Was worth the rate we paid, however, a good scrubbing and moving of some furniture in the process would go a long way. We definitely had some issue going on in our bathroom,... More

After researching several choices in the area, we chose this one because of the price, location, and overall positive reviews. We were extremely pleased with the entire stay, particularly the cleanliness, its proximity to Six Flags and numerous restaurants (walking distance), and the continental breakfasts (omelettes, meats included). Nothing fancy, but a very nice stay for the price. I highly... More
