Illinois trip

Our stay at Illinois Beach State Park Resort was great! The room was nice and updated and the hotel was beautiful. The lake view was beautiful! The pool was being renovated, but it was too cold to swim anyway. The hotel employees were super friendly and helpful! This was a great place to stay and we will definitely be back!

The beach and hotel itself are very beautiful! Lovely views. The pool was down for rennovation, which I understand and still booked. However, I inquired about the really great looking restaurant/bar inside the hotel being open the day before and when arrived and checked in and both people said "yes they open at 4". We come down at 4 and asked again, and the receptionist said no the restaurant was not open today because they did not have a cook and were looking to staff one. Both the website and google hours also said the restaurant was open. Everyone was really nice and overall we stil had a good stay, but was just disappointing Since everything was saying the restaurant would be open, it was not, and we were looking forward to that aspect of our stay.

Never again

Not restaurant service, everything is far , hard when traveling with a toddler, the first night was ok the restaurant service was great, but next morning was closed until Saturday morning the reception said. The bathroom is very DUSTY AND DIRTY. Reception was professional and friendly. I did know I didn’t have a LAKE VIEW, ( that was the reason I bought my grandson) to see the Lake .

This a very beautiful old Mid Century Modern hotel. Absolutely stunning views of Lake Michigan. Hotel is under new management. Holly the new GM was great. Had a wonderful conversation with her when we went to dinner at Nolan restaurant in the hotel. Dinner and breakfast were very good. Keep in mind this is a very old hotel and needs alot of maintenance yet to be done. Pool is currently being refurbished with no date as to when it will be done. Room was a bit musty/moldy smelling. You can tell they are working hard to make things better. We stayed in January. Hoping to come back in August to enjoy the wonderful private beach area.
