The room was spacious and the breakfast was nice. There was a park and mall near the hotel . But I couldn't get the deposit $50 until now and the air-conditioning noise bothered me all night.

When checking in, the attendant told me how Expedia works is they book for you and put a credit card on your account. Then you have to pay a $50 deposit on it when you come in just incase you “do something stupid” in her own words. Areas were clean, the elevator was super sketchy. It was quiet at night but in the morning it was very loud and there were dogs barking in the halls which made it hard to stay asleep. Beds were comfortable. I would stay again without the surprise of extra money needing to be paid at the front desk and dogs not being in the hotel.

Great place at a wonderful price 😊

It was very nice and staff were absolutely wonderful to me and my five year old son!!! They let us check in way early at 1 pm instead of the 4 pm check in, and the next day let us check out late at two pm in the afternoon so on top of the pool being well maintained and the property super clean and rooms were very clean as well and comfortable I’d recommend the holiday inn Express in Vernon Hills again and again thanks for the wonderful hospitality!!!
