Great Wolf Lodge Illinois
This was one of the best resorts that me and my family had a chance to experience. So many different things to do all in one spot.

Best Western Executive Inn Kenosha/Pleasant Prairie
Some of the food wasn’t the warmest and milk wasn’t cold enough. Hotel was older but the price with the amenities made it a great value.

It was great pool and hot tub was extremely nice

Days Inn by Wyndham Waukegan
The motel is on the older side. Overall, if you just need a clean place to sleep then this is your spot. Bed was clean. Room smelled decent.

Days Inn by Wyndham Pleasant Prairie Kenosha
Room was not cleaned and when we asked for it to be cleaned they made the bed only. Didn’t restock any paper products and floors sticky and never swept. When you book your room, they don’t honor your room selection. Cannot believe this is “W” owned. Do not recommend this place for a stay.
