Best Hotels near Walgreens, Calumet City

It has been almost a year since we were robbed in our hotel room. The so-called “head of security” and “head surveillance”has done an excellent job ignoring every phone call and voicemail since that day and has lied repeatedly about getting back to us. When I say, LIED REPEATEDLY, he has LIED REPEATEDLY. His tone is so pompous and arrogant and he has all but excused the employee(s) who entered our room and stole our money and valuables. We were still guests there but housekeeping emptied our ENTIRE room. Not 1 sock, shoe, or shirt that was in the closet made it down to their lost and found since they mistakenly assumed we had checked out when in reality we had 2 days left. Everything in our room was “removed” including money and other valuables. The security on staff continued to laugh in our face. The head of surveillance condoned what happened saying “can’t prove it so sorry about that”. The hotel management on duty was useless. Don’t even risk it.

Make sure you tell the front desk that you want your room cleaned every day or they will say they don't have the staff to clean and wont' clean your room. They will have you bring your soiled towels to the front desk to get clean towels if you don't have them clean your room every day. It's ridiculous that for the amount you pay that they don't want to clean your room every day. They blame it on COViD. When you tell them they will clean your room and after that it was GREAT. The staff is extremely helpful and pleasant. From the front desk to the Maintenance personnel they are all helpful and professional. The staff is wonderful and the rooms are nice, clean, and cool in the summer. This was my 3rd stay at this location and the first time they didn't clean my room unless I asked..

Hotel is Very clean, friendly staff, comfortable beds… pillows are like clouds! We travel a lot, I usually stay at a Hampton inn, and I am extremely impressed and satisfied with this hotel and its staff. Best breakfast included with any stay. I have to say…. I wish I would have stayed here sooner! Highly recommended by this very picky traveler.

It was clean. That's the main thing. The toilet was one of those really short ones and the bathroom door hit the toilet and wouldn't open all the way. The double beds were not queens. They weren't even full. Barely wider than a twin, it was rough sleeping with kids. One of the beds was broke and leaned a little. We dropped an ink pen and looked under the bed for it. Wasn't clean under there. Skittles and paper and who knows. We didn't explore. Got our pen and left it alone. No breakfast or pool. City still concerned about Covid. Can't blame the hotel.

I stopped in this Choice Hotels property while in the area for business. I chose the hotel since I have stayed in most of the hotels in the area such as the three Marriott properties down the road, the all-new Holiday Inn Express and the Hampton since its right next door to the Byway Brewery. One of the reasons I choose this hotel was the price. Most of the hotels in the area were extremely high..( conventions? Dunes? ) that night. The reviews seemed to be pretty good for this hotel as well. First off this hotel is a little off the beaten path, tucked away in a little alcove off the highway but tucked away in a secure location so one star for that. It s also two minutes away from a Starbucks, JJ Fish and Chicken and across the road from Walmart and Cabellas'. From the perspective of location, it's nicely situated in a secure compound with lots of parking. I checked in quite easily to this massive property and got the King Room I had reserved. Check-in was seamless and the staff were very nice. I got my key and went to my room. The room itself was nothing special, it had a lingering musty smell, the AC/Heat unit was a little noisy. There were some chips and dents in the furniture, the carpet looked old and the room itself was a little dreary. My bathroom was spotless and very clean so that's a plus. I did get a good nights sleep. The gym was okay and no one was using it, it does need a modernization. The cool thing is its right off the pool which is the hotels' main attraction. I didn't actually use the pool but it was packed with kids and grown-ups. The breakfast was a saving grace with multiple options for the calorie counter and those who indulge. The food was fresh, well prepared and the staff working the breakfast area were attentive and refilling food stations when needed. Pros - Location, Price, Pool Cons - A little on the tired side and in need of a facelift, The fitness centre is okay but could use modernization, no USB ports and hard to find places to plugin, and the wifi was okay not blazing fast but I was able to surf and send emails. Will I stay here again? I might give it a second chance.

A beautiful & well cared for hotel! Staff was amazing the entire stay! Remembered my name and room number when using guest resources! Definitely looking forward to coming back!!

The day manager and man who runs breakfast are an A+. Rooms are clean, comfortable. Parking lot feel safe. Byway Brewing restaurant next door is good. I slept really well and was happy until I came down this morning and the night manager was asleep, snoring at full force in the lobby lounge chairs. I tried calling the hotel phone #...no answer. Complete dereliction of duty. Unsafe and unprofessional. I called IHG. Hopefully, they will do something, because the rest of the visit--hotel and other staff--was terrific.
