Illinois Beach Hotel

Restaurant was out of several things, breakfast was expensive for the food provided and there was some mold on the tub...but tgese were small things when compared to the location and beautiful views. This hotel, and trip, were exactly what i needed for a mental get away. Tgank you.

Only stayed for one night, last minute booking, stayed in room 111. The location is amazing, being on Lake MI. There were no special events going on in the hotel, so our stay was very peaceful. Great place to connect with nature if the hotel isn’t holding an event. We ate appetizers and had cocktails in the restaurant. I loved the margarita I was served by our friendly server. We ordered calamari and a flatbread pizza. Food tasted ok- not amazing, but not bad. The front desk employee, Renita, was very nice. Our room was clean - clean sheets, clean towels, clean bathroom, clean refrigerator. The hotel overall looks a little worn out even though it supposedly was renovated in the last few years. Maybe the maintenance staff doesn’t keep up with small repairs like peeling wallpaper, window washing or carpet stains. This could be a really top notch place if ExplorUS took better care Of it. We thought the mid-century modern design with the split levels, stone floors, and expansive glass window views were beautiful. It’s just overall in need of having more $ put into it to help it reach its full potential.

Hope to more visitor to visit the place.

No pool, no hot tub as it was “under construction” and did not know before renting.

Lovely location, nice clean room

A nice bonus was having a restaurant open for all meals.

Felt so relaxed staff was amazing and very Welcoming and the lake being right there is just another bonus thank you guys so much

The property has so much potential, it’s a shame that they maintain the minimum standards on cleanliness and atmosphere. Our room obviously hadn’t been stayed in for awhile and was not cleaned up beforehand. They’re were spiderwebs and spiders everywhere inside and the balcony was basically a spider pit. The sink was clogged and had weird stuff floating out of the drain. The shower floor was so stained that I didn’t want to even bathe. The toilet paper holder was hanging on for dear life. Every corner, baseboard, counter was dirty. And the prison fluorescent lightbulbs are every traveler’s dream when it comes time to relax. The only redeemer and the reason it got beyond one star is the location and view are amazing. But again the hotel does nothing to maximize this jewel of a location.
