The hotel had a convenient location right next to a high traffic street with retail available if needed, but the rooms were not up to standard with a dirty atmosphere and bad smell. The service was extremely nice, especially with the free shuttle service to and from Six Flags, however, the dining experience was one of the worst encountered with breakfast finishing early. The facilities were lacking in quality but decent for the price paid.

The hotel had various cleanliness issues, from sticky residue on surfaces to dusty bed areas and dated furnishings. The room size was smaller than expected. On the bright side, the service was exceptional, surpassing even pricier hotels in personal touch. The location was convenient for specific attractions, but lacked variety in nearby dining options. The dining experience fell short, offering limited and unsatisfying options. Overall, the facilities were adequate.

My stay at America's Best Value was so convenient as I had everything at my fingertips. The room was clean, comfortable, and easy to access with no stairs, which was very convenient. However, the location wasn't ideal for me as I would have preferred to be closer to Six Flags Great America or Gurnee Mills Outlet Mall for more restaurant and attraction options.

Upon check-in, the rooms had a slight cigarette smell but overall weren't that bad, especially considering the price. There were some dust bunnies near the head of the bed on the floor. The service was friendly and accommodating, but there were instances where staff seemed tired. The location was convenient for the Navy base and Six Flags but could have been better situated for other attractions. The dining options were limited with just toast and cereal available. The facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel was a nice hotel with some drawbacks. The rooms stink like moldy musty dust and are dirty, from the surfaces to the furnishings and fixtures. On the bright side, the service was friendly and welcoming. The location had its challenges, but there was a nearby 24/7 Diner within walking distance. The dining was mediocre, and the facilities were lackluster.
