"My wife and I were attending a event at a local theater and needed a room for just one night. The TownPlace by Marriott Chicago Waukegan/Gurnee was perfect! Plenty of free parking in the well lit lot. Great front desk service during check in (Fran). Coffee, fruit and a few other items in the lobby area were available upon our arrival at 3 pm. The hotel is clean, modern and well laid out. The pool was very nice and the whole area was extremely clean. The room was larger than the usual hotel room...
