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!!!

Would stay here again for sure. Everything was clean. Beds and pillows were super comfortable. Water pressure in the shower was amazing. Breakfast was good too. Pool was on the smaller side but we didn’t swim so it didn’t matter to us…
