Top 10 Zion Hotels

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!

There are outlets around, breakfast is very good!

If you’re attending RTC graduation or just visiting in general I highly recommend this location. My little sis graduated boot camp & it’s been a pleasure staying here. They provide a concise general guide to the area, how to get to RTC, etc. They also have a shuttle to RTC!!! Rooms are clean too. Big shout out to Abi and Erin because they were very helpful and accommodating. They really treat their ambassadors well which was lovely! I’ve traveled quite a bit- hands down best Marriott staff. It meant so much especially since I had family stay with me and I see them every so often. God bless y’all ＜3

Nice renovated hotel, close to I-94 , O’Hare airport and Six Flags Great America. The hotel has a big empty lot for parking with tractor trailers, motorhomes and other large vehicles. Despite the highway closeness, the hotel is very quiet. Nice and clean rooms, good sized bathroom with tub. The room has a small fridge and a microwave oven.
