Thanks again for the help with this. Our stay in Gurnee, IL was great. The LaQuinta Inn was very nice. Check-in went fine - we were booked in a king room, but they were able to change us to a double room without any problems. The staff was friendly & helpful with directions, train information, etc. The room was nice and clean. Breakfast was good too -- make your own waffles, plus cereal, bagels, toast, juices, and fruit. The pool was a nice size, but not too deep, which was good for my kiddos. They also had a whirlpool/spa as well. The hotel is right off the highway on a frontage road with other hotels, and several restaurants. It's also within about 2 blocks of the entrance to Six Flags Great America. The Waukegan train station was about 15min. drive. overall, this was a great stay & an even better price. I would recommend this hotel to anyone else needing a great place to stop for a few nights. Linda :)
