Best Western Plus Elgin - Chicago

Best Western Plus Elgin - Chicago

10/10 Excellent
"Check in was quick and easy. The staff was efficient and quick getting the line of guests checked in. The Best Western Room was clean and smelled fresh when we arrived. For a hot summer day, the air conditioning was working great. There was a smokey sky lingering over the area, but the room was fresh and no odor from outside. My granddaughters used the pool. Not overly large, but they had fun jumping in and swimming their races back and forth. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel as we were meeting family next door at Alexander's. We did stop in to take a look, everything looked fresh and smelled wonderful. Nothing better that country biscuits and gravy with a side of scrambled eggs. We grabbed a fruit snack for the room. The balcony was a nice addition to our room. We sat outside in the evening for a bit, but the smoke from the wild fires prevented us form staying out too long. Check out was a breeze, I will come back again."
