Clean and tidy room. Basic but clean and nothing to complain about in the room. I felt the location of the hotel was a bit sketchy.

Comfort Inn & Suites Arlington Heights - Buffalo Grove
We checked in late at night, I had called earlier in the day to let them know and had no issues. The staff was always friendly and very nice. It was very easy to find parking and to get around the hotel. The best part, the pool was actually warm!

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Chicago Gurnee
The receptionist that checked us in is courteous/ friendly/ she looks at you when talking. She is fast and efficient. The room is clean. The only downside was you can hear conversations of people in the corridor/ closing of doors/ foot steps above your room.
