Best Hotels near William W. Powers State Recreation Area, Chicago

Very clean. The room is very big. A good choice for self-driving tour. It is very fun to play. Four people with friends. If you have the opportunity, you will choose to set this hotel again!

If I could give 0 stars I would! This was the WORST hotel I have EVER stayed at. When we arrived to Ramada at; 4141 South Calumet Avenue Hammond, IN 46320 United States We were in room 239 and when we entered there were light bulbs out, dirty towels in the bathroom, and the toilet would not flush at all. We called the manager and they moved us to room 237. When we got into room 237, we found a dirty spoon left in a chair, spider webs above our bed, blood stain hand mark on the back of the bathroom door along with a dirty towel already there, a faucet in the tub that never stopped running, the toilet in that room also had an extremely hard time flushing, dead spider in the shower, a dirty shower curtain, dirty marks on the sink, and something hanging from the ceiling that was not plugged into the outlet all the way. We spent a lot of money on this room this weekend and had the absolute WORST experience ever! We were going to leave and go somewhere else but by that time there was no where else to go so we had to deal with the horrible conditions of this hotel room. These were horrible and dirty circumstances we had to deal with especially since Covid is still around, you would think things would be better cleaned. This was outrageous conditions to stay in!

I travel over 100 days a year for my job and stay exclusively in Wyndham properties, and write reviews for most. The good: parking lot was clean and well lit on arrival. I reserved through the Wyndham app, so check in went smoothly. My room was very clean, with a comfortable bed and pillows. Laminate flooring throughput the room. Updated fixtures with plenty of plug-ins. Most of the stated amenities were in place, the in room coffee and small refrigerator, but no microwave for some reason. The hotel does have 2 luggage carts. My air conditioner/heater worked quite well. There is a drink machine and snack machine near the lobby. The not-so-good: the staff was non-existent, nobody at the front desk the three or four times I checked. The TV had only 13 channels, most were locals Only one coffee cup for the in-room coffee. I checked out early so i can't comment on the breakfast. I'd stay here again if needed for work, but I'd bring some movies to watch.

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.

Rooms Were Very Clean. Great customer service. I will be back to stay here again very kid friendly family friendly and pet friendly.. They were extremely accommodating. This is honestly the best hotel around

I had a great visit I was taking care of by the front desk and The room was clean and up to date and it had a big screen tv which was great while I was in room relaxing place was quiet and peaceful I would recommend this location to others.

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.

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.

This hotel is a far cry from the one advertised on the website. It needs a deep clean, making for a only bearable stay if you're never planning on being in the room aside from sleeping. However, the beds are not comfortable so I can't say sleep was easy come by either. Definitely bring shower shoes to wear - no bare feet on that carpet! The front desk staff do a good job selling you on downloading the hotel app, but do not be duped into thinking you might get a free night after gaining the right number of points via the app. You only get this if you make a whole new booking with a special rate from the company. This is not what the front desk clerk told me when I checked-in and I wouldn't have bothered joining if I'd been told the truth, as I never plan on staying at this hotel or with this chain again. (I wonder why I was told a falsehood...!) While the location is great, I'm not sure it's worth the money to stay here. I'd rather have paid more for a nicer experience, or booked father afield for a cleaner more pleasant hotel.
