Gander Mountain Forest Preserve

The only staff member who provided hospitality was Marina in the 1878 restaurant. Other than that, the staff acted as if it was a burden for them to be working. No one looked happy to be there. The food at 1878 Restaurant was awesome. The resort is run down. Not clean, needing repair, bad smells, chipped paint, and stains. They bill you as if it's a 5 diamond hotel but feels like a run down motel. The landscaping seemed like it was done by someone who cares. Never again will we stay there.

What a lovely stay we had! Our room was a dream, with a tower and sweet dressing table in the bathroom. Everything is so clean an sooting in pale shades of white and that goes for the chandeliered common spaces as well. The staff were all so accommodating and the breakfast amenities were great. Topnotch drinks and nibbles and service in the bar too. We'd love to come back!

Very feiend
