Best Hotels near Belleau Lake, Des Plaines

Best location if you need to return rental car before you fly. Just 3 minutes drive. The hotel facilities have been recently renovated and everything is spot-on! The room has absolutely everything you would ever need, good coffee, appliances, nice lightning, super clean bathroom. Reading chair and working desk. (The only problem is they don't offer water in the room). Nice swimming pool and gym. Downsides: They charge parking, and the check-in staff could be kinder. They interacted with me and other foreign guests in a rather bossy way.

I have stayed at Four Points on multiple occasions over the last few years before my most recent stay there this past weekend, hence why I booked here for my partner’s and mine’s little weekend getaway to the city. I also booked here knowing they offered gated/secure parking for those not using vehicles on during their stay (I.e. “the park and fly”) When booking I had questioned whether we could park our vehicle on site in the secure area knowing that our time of arrival was going to be far prior to check in time. I got the okay to my parking question when speaking to the front desk, so we booked! Upon arrival, I had to ask the front desk twice for the gate code to the secure parking as our first encounter they only gave us our parking pass but did not include the parking code. We dodged pot holes throughout the general parking area as well as the secure parking area which was less than ideal. Ultimately though we were able to park our vehicle, order our Uber and get to our destination on time. Fast forward a few hours I was able to check into our room on the app, which was nice given we were 45 minutes - an hour away from the hotel for the day. We finally arrived to our room later that evening and we’re able to get our rooms keys and get our things from our vehicle to bring up to the room. Upon re-entering the building from the secure parking area, we both swiped our room keys on the building door to enter to no avail. Prior to turning around and almost walking through the vehicle gate drive through and around the building to the front door, my partner pulled on the building door and came to the realization the door was never locked (big yikes!) so anyone hotel guest or not if able to get into the parking area had unlimited access to the interior of the hotel. That in itself made use feel uneasy. We used the room for solely sleeping in a bed and getting ready/showering for the next day of our trip. We arrived on a Friday and stayed through Monday morning (3 night stay in total). Each and every morning when I woke up, I couldn’t figure out for the life of me why I waking up completely congested and itchy face, eyes, throat, etc. Sunday morning I made a very uncomfortable discovery…. Our entire hotel room was LITTERED with mold growing out of any crevice in the room. The bathroom door frame was completed surrounded by mold growth (see photos) and we found evidence of peeling wallpaper near the patio door with mold growing up the wall where the door/window meets the wall. The only thing I’m allergic to is mold so it all started to add up in why I was feeling so miserable every morning after sleeping here night after night during our stay. In addition to looking for more evidence of this untimely discovery we came across uncovered wires, loose and/or broken outlets in our room (adding to a few more safety hazards of our stay). While the front desk personnel did document my concerns upon checkout, I do not recommend anyone to stay with Four Point

1 star is generous, unfortunatley it won't let me give 0. WORST HOTEL EVER, DO NOT BOOK!! Often I see reviews like this and think 'it can't be that bad, it's just a bed to sleep in'.. trust me, it can. Awful from start to finish. RUDE horrible reception staff (female, won't mention name but rhymes with Sia) from check in, non-smoking room STANK of smoke and a musty stale smell. Aeroplanes going overhead every 30 secs (not their fault but impossible to sleep). People smoking ****/arguing outside your door. We asked to move rooms and were told we exceeded the 15min reporting time (this is not stated anywhere and was a blatant lie and how ridiculous that they expect you to get back to reception within 15 mins - we were debating whether we could put up with it but also frantically trying to find somewhere local for dinner before everywhere shut within the hour as we arrived in the vening). Receptionist refused us to move rooms as said they had none available, yet loads on booking.com. Told us to speak to manager and was our own fault for not researching the hotel better (how they could blame us I don't know).. then gave us a fake email and a phone number for reception where manager was not even on shift and it just went back to the miserable girl. Then told us we could move rooms (despite saying they had no spare rooms) only to put us in another smelly one, then finally gave us a better smelling room as a last resort as they refused to refund us (which is just awful) yet there were black hairs all in the bed and we had to sleep fully clothed on top of the sheets and felt sooo dirty and gross!!! We beared two nights there as everything else cost $400+ but I was willing to pay any amount of money to avoid it if they hadn't found us a room that smelt remotely acceptable (which she had clearly just ran around with antibac spray). Please please please do not give these people your money or custom, they are rude, obnoxious, have the worst customer service and I would rather have slept in a dog kennel, outside, in the rain.

I have to admit, it has been a few years since I stayed at this property. I mainly picked this hotel, as we were between trips and I needed a hotel with coin laundry. First impressions didn't go well. The trainee checking us in was surly, sulky and downright miserable. When I politely asked if there was any possibility of an upgrade, without even looking at her screen, she grunted NO. I then asked if we could get a room on the ground floor, as we had quite a bit of luggage. She then argued that we could get our luggage into an elevator, but she finally relented. It would have been nice if she had told us that we could have easily reached our room if we walked out the door and went around the back, rather than struggling our way through the lobby and pool area. The room was fine, although the bed was rather small, and I had to go back to reception for extra towels. Luckily, Miss Sulky boots had left for the night, and a very nice, older night manager was on duty. I did reveal our check-in experience to him and he was appalled. Breakfast was okay, but it was so much better pre-Covid with more choices. And sadly, the nightly reception has been ”enhanced” away. The hotel is in a great location with lots of restaurants, a Target, etc. But remember to bring your ID, especially if there is an event at the arena. The coin laundry was very cheap and it even takes credit cards. Machines worked well. The shuttle back to the airport was fine.

I can walk to the car rental center from the hotel, two large beds in separated room space for more privacy but they shared the same toilet.

In the United States hotel, the breakfast is good, the best breakfast in the whole process, better than Marriott. The surrounding is also convenient. The target price is not high, especially after going to Costco.

This was our first time here at a Renaissance Hotel and oh my we were taken back on how nice this place is. It’s a hidden place and I never knew this was around the area. Hershey at the front desk was the nicest employee that greeted and checked us in. She really made us feel welcome and took care of us. Hershey went above and beyond for us and we really appreciate her hard work and welcoming us with open arms. Hershey really had made us feel special guests the moment we checked in! We will definitely will be coming back here in the future! A great place for a home away from home.

Breakfast is normal, basic style, you can eat, there is parking space, the room is large, suitable for the whole family to travel, but you must drive yourself, it is convenient, go to each shoppingmall, the restaurant is not far!

Overall not bad

Very close to the airport, there is also a shuttle bus from the airport hotel, which shares a car with the Hyatt next to it. The environment is not bad. It is also a newly built hotel. The air conditioner seems to be unable to open, but the time we went was not very hot. It doesn't matter if the air conditioner is not turned on. If it's summer, you still have to think about it.
