The nearby Volo Auto Museum houses an eccentric collection that will fascinate even those who can't tell a carburetor from a catalytic converter. Six Flags Great America offers roller coasters for thrill-seekers, while Chain O'Lakes State Park provides quieter pleasures with hiking trails and wildlife spotting.

There was a great selection of free brochures and magazines for entertainment and places to visit as well as happy hour in the bar. The room was also very good, the bed was very comfortable, not too soft and not too firm. I would definitely stay here again."

Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate based on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year.
