Comfort Inn Crystal Lake - Algonquin

the location is decent, lots of restaurants and stores nearby.

We enjoyed the food pretty much ! I think it was just heat and eat omelette. Bacon was good, my kids like making the waffles and the choice of beverages will be back.

We were on the main floor, right across from the pool. We loved being close to the pool. It was not noisy at all. The buffet breakfast was adequate, at best. I have to be gluten free, so very limited choices, since buffets rely heavily on breads, waffles and pastries. I had a banana and peanut butter, and one morning, bacon, eggs and seasoned potatoes. Coffee was not very good, at all.

The location was important. The room was nice. Bathroom a bit outdated, but that didn't affect my stay. The breakfast is what is expected. Bed was comfy, pillows could be higher quality. My only beef is that doors across the hall slammed all night. In the morning I noticed that it was to an employee area, which is crappy.

The atmosphere of the entire place was fantastic. I cannot express how wonderful it was after driving nearly 7 hours with kids to have such a friendly staff member greet me. Ever person of the hotel staff i met was caring and listened. Even the guy who ran the breakfast every morning asked how we liked the breakfast and if everything met my expectations. I would definitely stay again!
