Super 8 by Wyndham Mundelein/Libertyville Area

My prepaid suite was given away, and I was stuck with what was left. I slept on a broken king bed, and the other room had a single bed instead of a double. Don’t trust the pictures, the place looked nothing like what we arrived at. There was activity in the parking lot all night and it felt very sketchy. The entryway doors and windows were broken, and the room door locks were broken too. Don’t bring your family here.

The location was pretty good, and the proprietors seemed friendly. The room, though, was unclean, with a sticky floor, nasty blankets, and a toilet that rocked when you sat on it. The hairdryer was broken and shooting sparks. Don’t bother with breakfast, there was barely enough coffee to fill a Dixie cup. I think the place is family-owned, with multiple generations living on the top floor. Kids were running up and down the halls.

The breakfast bar was fresh and very nice, the staff were friendly and kind to children, and there was a lovely range of vending options. Two or more lobby fridges sell premium drinks like Rebuilt at competitive prices. It’s within ten minutes of shops and plenty of food options, with everything else a drive away. There’s no pool, but the good points outweigh that, and I’d stay here again. The rooms are small, but pretty nice for the price. Mine had a broken bathroom mirror, but beyond that it was very clean and comfortable. There was a microwave, mini fridge, safe, and ice-cold AC. There isn’t much floor space, so if you bring a crib or pack-n-play, expect it to take up a large part of the room.

The breakfast was decent, which was about the only bright spot. We stayed for a Navy Graduation and were disappointed. The price was affordable, but the quality showed it, and the service was just okay. The room was in rough shape. The floors felt damp and dirty, and a white towel picked up the grime right away. The drawers were broken, the bathroom looked questionable, and the beds were uncomfortable. Worst of all, I found a clump of hair in my blanket. There are definitely better options out there.
