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.

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!!!
