Best Hotels near William W. Powers State Recreation Area, Chicago

Very clean. The room is very big. A good choice for self-driving tour. It is very fun to play. Four people with friends. If you have the opportunity, you will choose to set this hotel again!

I travel over 100 days a year for my job and stay exclusively in Wyndham properties, and write reviews for most. The good: parking lot was clean and well lit on arrival. I reserved through the Wyndham app, so check in went smoothly. My room was very clean, with a comfortable bed and pillows. Laminate flooring throughput the room. Updated fixtures with plenty of plug-ins. Most of the stated amenities were in place, the in room coffee and small refrigerator, but no microwave for some reason. The hotel does have 2 luggage carts. My air conditioner/heater worked quite well. There is a drink machine and snack machine near the lobby. The not-so-good: the staff was non-existent, nobody at the front desk the three or four times I checked. The TV had only 13 channels, most were locals Only one coffee cup for the in-room coffee. I checked out early so i can't comment on the breakfast. I'd stay here again if needed for work, but I'd bring some movies to watch.

If I could give 0 stars I would! This was the WORST hotel I have EVER stayed at. When we arrived to Ramada at; 4141 South Calumet Avenue Hammond, IN 46320 United States We were in room 239 and when we entered there were light bulbs out, dirty towels in the bathroom, and the toilet would not flush at all. We called the manager and they moved us to room 237. When we got into room 237, we found a dirty spoon left in a chair, spider webs above our bed, blood stain hand mark on the back of the bathroom door along with a dirty towel already there, a faucet in the tub that never stopped running, the toilet in that room also had an extremely hard time flushing, dead spider in the shower, a dirty shower curtain, dirty marks on the sink, and something hanging from the ceiling that was not plugged into the outlet all the way. We spent a lot of money on this room this weekend and had the absolute WORST experience ever! We were going to leave and go somewhere else but by that time there was no where else to go so we had to deal with the horrible conditions of this hotel room. These were horrible and dirty circumstances we had to deal with especially since Covid is still around, you would think things would be better cleaned. This was outrageous conditions to stay in!

Rooms Were Very Clean. Great customer service. I will be back to stay here again very kid friendly family friendly and pet friendly.. They were extremely accommodating. This is honestly the best hotel around

It has been almost a year since we were robbed in our hotel room. The so-called “head of security” and “head surveillance”has done an excellent job ignoring every phone call and voicemail since that day and has lied repeatedly about getting back to us. When I say, LIED REPEATEDLY, he has LIED REPEATEDLY. His tone is so pompous and arrogant and he has all but excused the employee(s) who entered our room and stole our money and valuables. We were still guests there but housekeeping emptied our ENTIRE room. Not 1 sock, shoe, or shirt that was in the closet made it down to their lost and found since they mistakenly assumed we had checked out when in reality we had 2 days left. Everything in our room was “removed” including money and other valuables. The security on staff continued to laugh in our face. The head of surveillance condoned what happened saying “can’t prove it so sorry about that”. The hotel management on duty was useless. Don’t even risk it.

Great experience the staff is very helpful and responsive! Had a major problem in the kitchen sink and once notified it was addressed immediately! I've been hre for a few months and have developed a warm and friendly relationship with the staff from the housekeepers all the way to the manager. The same great courteous attitude is reflected all the way through! It's why I extended my stay, because they make me very comfortable!

Travel lodge Chicago This HAS to be the worst hotel/motel I’ve ever stayed in up to this point… As I pulled in I became worried about the quality of the hotel just by look at the outside of the building, but as seen from other places I’ve stayed, I shouldn’t judge a hotel just by the outside appearance… But in this case it proved to be correct. As I entered the hotel lobby inside there was a plexi glass screen covering the front desk, this glass looks to have been built into the foundation, meaning it was there pre-Covid. I asked the person at the front desk and it turns out it’s bulletproof glass which made me very nervous, so right off the start I didn’t feel all that safe. I was given a room key to one of the base level rooms, this made me slightly at ease as I could park directly outside my room so that way if someone tried to break in to the car I was driving I could hear the alarm go off. It only got worse as I entered my room. Floorboards have been lifted off the ground and I could see through to the foam padding beneath the floor boards, there was a fist sized hole in the wall and the immediate smell of smoke and body odor filled the room. I kept all of my belongings on a table or the sink top as I felt it was too dirty to leave them on the ground. Due to people smoking just outside my room, the air coming in from A/C unit only was part cold part smoky The entire state of the room just gave me a feeling of grossness and disgust. And it just became worse with the bathroom, it also smelled like body odor, and there wasn’t even so much a plastic dowel for the toilet paper to sit on, Just a 3/4 used roll of toilet paper sitting on the top of the toilet tank. in addition to that somebody left a little surprise for me in the toilet (there was pee left in the toilet). At the front desk I inquired where if I could drink the tapwater, usually I will get an “ I believe so“ or “There are water bottles in the room” but not here... what I got was “ I have no idea but probably not, you can buy water if you want to have a drink”. I found it weird that they “believe” that was sink water is not safe to drink, yet they had cups next to the sink? They did suggest getting ice from the machine and letting it melt if I didn’t feel like paying for water, but that would’ve been very time consuming. I feel like hotels/motels should be able to provide some free of charge water, if not from the tap then somewhere else on the property. The room description when I booked it said “mini-fridge” and “microwave” were available Which turned out to be completely false. There is a common use microwave next to the check in desk that people can use but especially now during Covid I felt it wasn’t the best idea to be using a microwave everybody has used. She informed me that the queen bed rooms don’t have microwaves and mini fridges and they don’t know how to change the description online, but the rooms with king beds did have them, so I did inqu
