Illinois Beach Hotel

Hotels
Illinois Beach Hotel offers a mix of natural beauty and charming amenities, making it a unique destination despite some areas needing improvement. Its location on Lake Michigan provides stunning views and easy access to a sandy beach and miles of trails through natural park areas. The beach is well-restored, with erosion control in place, and offers a peaceful, quiet environment during the off-season, while summer crowds fill the space comfortably. Guests can enjoy the inviting outdoor terrace and explore nearby natural lakeshores with rocks or sandy beaches, depending on preference. The hotel features lakeview balcony suites that are clean and comfortable, offering good value for the price. The rooms have a nostalgic 70s style, which adds to the charm, although some parts of the hotel, like the windows and bathroom areas, show signs of aging and could benefit from updates. The restaurant on-site is highly praised for its high-quality food and delicious drinks, making it a popular spot for dining. However, there are notable drawbacks. Rooms are only cleaned every three days unless requested, and towels are not replenished automatically, requiring guests to ask daily. The lobby coffee is not complimentary and is considered average. The pool area is still under construction, and some maintenance issues like peeling paint and outdated fixtures have been noted. Despite these concerns, the hotel’s location, natural surroundings, and on-site amenities make it a worthwhile visit, with ongoing improvements promising a brighter future.
