Super 8 by Wyndham Gurnee 5520 Grand Avenue, Gurnee, IL 60031

"I usually don't dive into the negative review scene, and I'm not out to harm anyone's business, but after my recent stay, I am compelled to give a heads up to my Navy buddies and their families planning trips for future graduations in the area. Sure, I knew I was walking into a budget hotel, and I cut them some slack on the room's wear and tear (including a mini-fridge with a sign advising against perishables—go figure) and overall cleanliness. However, having some of my personal stuff disappear was definitely not part of the plan. I booked a room at the Super 8 in Gurnee to attend my daughter's Navy boot camp graduation. While I got back from her gradation ceremony housekeeping had cleaned my room and shocked to discover that all my personal toiletries from home—my brush, shampoo, body wash, deodorant, and more—were nowhere to be found! When I approached the front desk, their response was a simple "I'm so sorry" with no explanation or other action whatsoever, leaving me without essential toiletries for the remainder of my trip. The incident not only inconvenienced me but also triggered concerns about the potential theft of my remaining belongings, adding an extra layer of worry to an already frustrating situation. As I geared up for the 18-hour journey home, the lack of action from the hotel staff left a sour taste. While the hotel served its basic purpose for the trip, this unfortunate incident significantly soured my overall experience. Regrettably, based on my experience, I would not recommend this hotel to others. Sharing this feedback with the hope that it sparks improvements for the future, ensuring other guests don't encounter similar issues."

"Building pretty run down looking. Room was okay cleanliness wise but sucked for lighting. Staff not friendly at all. The smell of marijuana was over powering. Pool was covered with what looked like a trash bag. There's a Hampton Inn right behind it. Would have stayed there instead. Convenient as far as food options although not great choices."

"We had a long drive from Wisconsin and We came tired from Six Flags as well and front desk helped me out for faster check-in gave me very clean room. Good simple breakfast in the morning with fresh coffee. Very good room with lowest price in town."

"Best rooms with open swimming pool. Front desk people helps me out for whatever small things I need. Bedding is very clean with good coffee 24hrs. I would definitely suggest Jacuzzi rooms to feel relaxing."

"The rooms are bit worn but the staff was very friendly and ready to help you whenever you had a question or need. It was right next to the 6 flags theme park so there was no travel time which really nice. The pool is a bit small but adequate if you want to swim."
