Great stay with full service breakfast

We arrived first for dinner. A friend told me there was still a Bennigans restaurant in the area as my husband and I first met at one in Virginia almost 25 years ago and this was the first visit to one since 2008. The food and service is the same. We then checked in at the front desk and they gave me our keys and breakfast tickets as we prepaid. We got into our room and couldn’t figure out how to close the blinds as there was no pull chain. Maintenance came and we were surprised that there is a remote control on the wall to the left of the window! This would be something I think should be told to us at check in. We had to call maintenance again because our room had no tv remote and when they brought us one it didn’t work because the battery compartment was corroded. After all that and finally getting a great night sleep we notice the shower had a large crack and the shower head wouldn’t stay upright. It’s a handheld shower head so it kept falling down. Breakfast was amazing and there was so many options like bacon, sausage, potatoes, breads, muffins, cereal, French toast, coffees, teas and juices.
Remote control blinds, this is something they don’t mention at check in
Blinds are by remote control on the wall
Giant crack in the shower and shower handle kept falling down
Breakfast is full service

The best place around. My wife and I go to Elgin 5-6 times per year. I’m not saying it is luxurious but it is definitely the best hotel in the area. We have tried them all.

This was our 3rd stay at this hotel and it has always been very nice and welcoming. The beds were phenomally comfortable. My wife and I would love for our bed at home to be as comfortable! The breakfast buffet was delicious, as usual. The staff were all gracious and welcoming. Even though they were remodeling 3 floors, the noise was very minor during the day. The temps in Elgin got down to -1 F but we were toasty warm in our room. We will definitely there again on our next trip to Elgin / West Dundee.

Like that they are finally updating the rooms , over night staff was rude and not attentive, breakfast was horrible, all pastries were hard and dry , breakfast sausage was hard and old , bacon broke into glass pieces , potatoes were cold and hard , then they had the nerve to charge me for an extra person, just because my sister that didn’t eat had a taste of my daughters biscuits and gravy . Yea I was highly disappointed with the $46 I spent on breakfast.
