McHenry
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (466 reviews)
"The egg smelling water is terrible. But the ice machine must have had a filter because it was ok. We went to the store and bought drinking water. There is a broken hand rail on the stairs leading into the hotel which could be hazardous if you didn't notice it. Bring your own bath towels, they are thin and small. If you have a river view it is nice. Nice mini frig that was cold and a nice microwave. Decent value for what you get."

Old Mill Creek
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (18 reviews)
"Was about what one might expect from an addition on a farm house... The place is cooled by two in room air conditioners that are barely loud enough to drown out traffic from the nearby road. That might sound like a negative, but the pros of the location far outweigh the cons: it's close to a major road and several local hole-in-the-wall places; I drive a Tesla and there was a supercharger in any direction I wanted to go; there's an abundance of local parks, beaches, trails, shops, restaurants,...

"Great place! With an ambience of stepping into a vacation home. The decor was on point with small touches that really catch the eye. The home smelled of fresh scents and plenty of seating. The Video Projector gives a great touch to family time. The door that separates the kitchen from the home makes it nice for meal preparation and privacy. The beds were the most complemented by our party allowing for a restful night sleep."
