Best Hotels in Algonquin

Every time we come back to our hometown of Algonquin to visit. We stay here and it’s special to me. Because I went to Jacobs High School when I was a student there. So I always ask for a Jacobs view.

We absolutely loved our stay here for our wedding. The staff was incredibly friendly and Summer was wonderful to work with from start to finish - she was so helpful with organizing our hotel bags, programs, and shuttles! The front desk staff was always smiling and ready to help at any moment. The hotel lobby is beautiful and perfect for large groups or even small groups for gathering in the morning or at night. Could not recommend this hotel enough! Thank you, Summer and team!

Stayed here on Christmas night 2020 with husband, 2 kids and a dog. Pros: 1) Good COVID precautions. The front desk was like Fort Knox with the plastic shield, the few staff we saw were masked, no breakfast, had to sign up to use the pool and were limited to 1 hour. Hotel in general seemed very clean. 2) Pet-friendly. We rarely stay at hotels with our dog, so we appreciated the option of a non-dump hotel with a reasonable pet charge (only $15/night). We did hear another barking dog in the room next to us, but the walls are thick enough that it wasn't disruptive. 3) Open, period, and on Christmas. We've worked holidays before, so we appreciate the work of the staff, especially in 2020. Cons: 1) No bedding for pull-out sofa. This was annoying. We sent our son to the desk to get it since it wasn't already in the room, and the receptionist informed him it was all being used in other rooms. So we had to use the bedspread from one of the other beds. 2) Unlocked side door and dog landmines/cigarette butts everywhere. Took the pup out in the morning, and it's clear there is no attention to detail on the side of the hotel (yes, I know guests should be responsible for the poo, but the hotel could at least put a cigarette butt container out there, or run a rake through the grass once or twice a week). More concerningly, I swiped my key to go back inside, only to discover that the e-reader wasn't activated and there wasn't even a locking mechanism in the door itself. In retrospect, that's very concerning from a security perspective. 3) Charged the wrong credit card. I presented a different card *at check-in* to the receptionist to charge for the stay, and instead she charged the card I used to hold my reservation. Called a couple days later to sort it out, and there were no charges at all to the one I gave to the receptionist. Staff needs to be retrained to make sure the correct card is charged. I don't go to hotels looking for complaints, but unfortunately the cons outweighed the pros in this case. Probably wouldn't stay here again, unless for another quick overnight.

Traveling through and stayed for an overnight. We stayed in Room 101, we had a nice room with a king bed. The hotel was recently remodeled. Our room only had a shower so if you are looking for a tub you need another room.

Unfortunately, it is too old, the hotel is not well maintained.

There were always some kind of issues with our stay. From the moment we checked in our keys didn’t work. I know not to leave my key next to my phone or keys or wallet and I did just that. As soon as I left the hotel every time I came back I needed to get a new key. At one point the general manager almost refused to give me a new key because I didn’t have my other key to the room. I told her I can’t get my key from my boyfriend because he was at work (6:15am) and I needed to get ready for my work. She continued to tell me she can’t give me a new key because I needed both keys- thus meaning i would’ve needed to drive to my boyfriend work to get his key come back give her both keys. Meaning again I would be late to my business and have to not open my store. Along with that we had a fridge that didn’t work. We spend over $150 in groceries. I turned up the temp to get colder in the fridge as well as keeping thing away from the bottom of the freezer so that there was circulation to get into the fridge. I didn’t open the fridge after I put the groceries in and waited a 2/3 days before opening it again. All my food was spoiled and I had to throw it away. To me it’s completely unexplainable to move people into their new home for a month with a broken fridge that they had to have known about as I know the room gets check before we are to move into the room. Lastly: my family and I wanted to use the oven yet it was bolted together meaning it wouldn’t opened. We called for the maintenance guy to come and fix the issue when he came and say his first response was “oh yeah it doesn’t work.” I don’t even know where to wrap my brain around the fact you would put a BROKEN oven in a room !! I’m absolutely confused on why someone would think that acceptable when everything should be working in the room when moved in from the get go. There were towels and bowls in our room from im assuming people who stay there before us. I don’t even know where to begin on how disappointing and gross that is. My stay here was very disappointing as these are things that yes are super easy to be fixed but they should’ve have been fixed way before we even moved in. I waisted my money on this stay. I wasted my money on food that I needed. And I wasted my time going back and forth with the general manger about the keys which again she almost refused to give me. I expect something to be done as this was all in all very upsetting. I do have pictures of all these issues if needed with proof as I have saved them because I showed these to family and friends and told them not to stay here.

Stay here on business every few years. Cleaning staff seem to do a better job here than some other similar hotels. Facilities are good. It should be noted, when I have stayed over the weekend here, there have been large parties of families with young children. I don’t really mind them running around after each other, but it can put the staff under pressure.
