I came on here to rave about the Gurnee location! We went a couple weeks ago and honestly have ZERO complaints! We arrived around 11 AM and although our room wasn't ready yet, we enjoyed the waterpark until it was. (Around 2:00) Our room was spotless and we had no issues with noise or anything. The waterpark was a lot smaller than the GWL in WI Dells. (The only other one we have been to.) But we actually liked the layout and it was easier to spread out but still keep an eye on all the kids. We had no issues with finding a table and chairs. We absolutely LOVED the 2 slides with the big family style rafts. They are big round rafts that can seat up to 5 people and the whole raft has a bottom. This was so awesome for our 4 year old that just made the 42 inch cutoff. The other type of rafts are really hard for her to sit in/hold onto. We ordered French fries, chicken tenders and the huge pizza box style nachos, and everything was delicious. We ate at the Barnwood restaurant one night located inside the resort. We had a table of around 15 people, and the service was phenomenal. We ordered a huge variety of things off the menu, and the portions were huge and the food was awesome. I was actually pleasantly surprised that it didn't just seem like your typical overpriced resort food. We also ordered pizza from Hungry as a Wolf and it was also delicious. Some family members did the ropes course and it was an awesome course and very reasonably priced. The dance party was a huge hit with my family, and we loved that there were 2 different time options at this location each night. It definitely seemed like there were a lot of people at the hotel and waterpark, but also didn't seem overcrowded at all. We weren't sure what to expect for a summer weekend. We had such a great time and we are already looking forward to booking another trip!

Decided to stay here last minute rather than risk violating Chicago’s curfew (9:00 p.m.). Reviewed their website before booking and was impressed by their protocol for addressing cleaning COVID-19 issues — touchless check in, etc. I booked online but directly with IHG (not through a third-party) and payed full price. Wearing a face covering, I at the property and found that none of the claims on their website re: COVID-19 protocols were true. No touchless checkin. Two women were working the small reception area — neither one wore a mask. And, although they had my information from my reservation / booking, they required me to fill out two forms while they were some two to three feet away. It was after 11:00 p.m. and searching another hotel at that hour presented other risks. So, I stayed — hoping for the best. Didn’t notice a single precaution in the room. I could go on but you get the point. As I walked into the lobby to check out the next morning (again, wearing a mask), I asked the woman working at reception what their policy was re: face coverings. She looked at and me and assured me that, yes, they were face coverings — as she pulled one from her face and put it on. NOTE: I am not writing this review to be critical of the individuals I encountered working at the property. They are trying to get by like everyone else. The problem here is that the policies advertised on the website either don’t exist or aren’t properly implemented / enforced.
