1960s styling of the hotel is great, the staff are friendly and professional, and the location on the lakeshore by the nature reserve is fantastic. The swimming pool was being refurbished, but other than that it was the perfect stay.

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.

If you have young kids that want to spend all day at the beach, this would be amazing for you. Not very crowded, and you cannot find a beach front hotel at this price anywhere that I am aware of. However, as it was a couple's weekend, we are used to having a bit more small town charm around beach hotels, and this did not. It was OK, nothing wrong so much as just not really an appealing surrounding area, which is not the hotel's fault, but still just left feeling like "eh". Staff was very nice, and a cute (very little) gift shop. One very cool thing, though, was that on the 4th of July, on the beach, we were able to see fireworks from several small cities on all sides.

Our stay at Illinois Beach State Park Resort was great! The room was nice and updated and the hotel was beautiful. The lake view was beautiful! The pool was being renovated, but it was too cold to swim anyway. The hotel employees were super friendly and helpful! This was a great place to stay and we will definitely be back!
5-night trip

10/10

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.

Hotel is in a great location. Hotel check in not so friendly. Should be more activity going on in lobby it supposed to be a resort. Maybe some entertainment. Pool under construction. Really nothing to do.
