Wyndham Glenview Suites

I cannot say enough good things about this place. There is free parking, and a nice welcoming lobby when you enter. It is conveniently located off of Milwaukee Ave in Glenview. The room I was given was very clean and spacious, and the bed was soft and just firm enough to give me a sound relaxing sleep. I loved how the elevators went up within a gorgeous atrium. Plenty of good water pressure too. I cannot say enough good things about this hotel, especially Peter the night manager. He was amazing and when I needed a couple of things he was very cordially and accommodating and treated me like a king. Please give this place your business, you cannot pick a better place. Also, the breakfast in the morning was filling and delicious. You can even order items like an omelet from the chef, prepared as you like!

The many reviews about upkeep and attitude save us words here. Our advice is if you book a room on discount do not let them give you keys to room #506!
Moldy bathroom so bad it triggered asthma and we had to change rooms 1^st thing in the morning during our 3 day stay.
What’s unacceptable about the management is this unhealthy, smelly room clearly has been in this condition far longer than our visit. And yet the room service continues to ‘clean’ the room and Wyndham continues to book the room to unsuspecting customers. Shameful.
Also, the elevators were so buggy and neglected that one always displays floor 4 when you arrive at 5. Worse, the middle one opened up to a plastic «emergency» warning pillar and the elevator compartment bounced up and down! My wife was right: For safety sake, why can’t they just shut down the non functioning elevator instead of put up a warning pillar?!

I had the absolute WORST experience with this hotel. I had booked one of their biggest suites 2 months prior to my stay. The front desk lady swiped my mothers credit card and took down my info so I was pretty damn sure that my room was booked. This was during prom so I was expecting 15+ people to come an hour before prom to get ready, take pictures, and wait for the party bus to come get us. When I entered the hotel on prom day the front desk lady said that I had no room booked. I stood there in complete shock and confusion. I told her that it was impossible and there has to be a mistake. Then she had the audacity to call me rude and told me to not give her attitude… That’s when I lost it and told her to call a manager bc I’m standing there with 15 people depending on me to have a room. The manager said that there was a mistake and the big suite wasn’t availability anymore so we had to get 2 separate smaller rooms. Now we had to be split up and the whole point was for all of us to be together. DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL. nice area but obviously the staff doesn’t know how to do something so simple like booking a room. Basically they ruined my prom which only happens once in a lifetime.

Room was clean but could have been better attended. When we arrived our lamp shade was broken and sitting in the side of the side table. They advertise a kitchen are… it’s just a sink and small dorm room fridge and a couple cabinets. But they had no paper towels, glasses, utensils or anything you would expect in a room advertised with a kitchnette. The bed was comfortable. But they could use some new sofas and chairs… very old and worn. Also, the carpet needed a shampoo, smelled a little old. Was it a horrible experience, absolutely not. Would I return, not unless they made some updates.

Big and low key… we found this to be a nice bargain, and it’s a comfortable place. The living room part of our room was cool and the bedroom was very nice. It’s not the Ritz Carlton, but we found it to be fine!
They feature, no-​drama parking, which is always a plus… in other words, it’s just a huge open lot. Very easy to use.
The bar was fine, the drinks were real drinks. Our sandwiches were good.
Breakfast was better than most, I would recommend seating that is not beneath the gazebo.
We really liked the walking areas nearby… we headed out the door and found trails and park areas.
There is an excellent restaurant within walking distance, it’s called… Jolane’s.

The hotel is in need of a major overhaul. Just about everything furniture wise with the exception of the televisions is outdated. The food menu does not contain much. Most of the staff is very friendly and polite. I will not be returning to this location.

Property is in need of loads of deferred maintenance and many repairs… very neglected.
Lousy «Free» Buffet Breakfast… food was bad and staff was grumpy, not very friendly, not accommodating at all, and never smile.
This could be a fabulous hotel, but management is obviously running the place on a tight budget and on the cheap. And need to teach housekeeping and breakfast dining room staff to smile and be friendly.
Slow elevators, and doors close prematurely.
Nice suites, but bathroom mirror frame broken and missing a part, sink fascia cracked and missing a chunk of plastic/​marble, no safety bars in tub, faucet leaks/​drips, door hinges crusty & dirty, tile grout filthy, holes in bathroom walls/​wallpaper, bathroom door warped & shredding with slivers of wood, TV channel changer does not operate properly, no extra electrical outlets by nightstand for appliances like mobile phone charger, CPS machine, and finally sofa bed was terrible & uncomfortable, etc.

I was able to book this property on a last-​minute-​hotel app and the price was unbeatable for two nights, so I had to go ahead and do it.
The property itself is very nice and is located on a stretch of Milwaukee that’s opposite a small forest preserve. There’s a new commercial area with a small strip mall on the same side of the street but the building is by itself, situated right up against the tollway — not really close to anything at all except speeding cars and trucks.
The reception area is huge and the staff was extremely nice and welcoming. I think someone even offered to re-​park my car from the check-​in parking area to the main lot for me but I declined. It was a nice offer though considering it was about 30 degrees out.
Elevators seemed to always be ready and waiting on the first floor but it took FOREVER for the doors to open once you got to your floor (first world problems, right?). All of the suites are built around a central atrium that is absolutely beautiful. This is where breakfast is served in the morning and was my favorite area of the hotel.
The suite was a nice size and came with a small sink in the living area — which I loved because I’m a chronic hand washer and when someone is in the bathroom, that little outside sink is a life saver. A small fridge, coffee maker, and additional TV were also in the living area which was great.
My main gripe was the upkeep of the suite on a maintenance level. The suite was clean and the linens fresh but the bathroom needed a lot of work…
–The sink drained so slow and there would always be a sink full of water after you got done with it. The whole faucet was loose from the base on the sink so when you wanted to turn the water on/​off, you had to fight with a loose faucet handle.
–The bathtub floor had huge air bubbles in it. It seems like they covered the tub with a liner but didn’t measure and/​or seal it well. The bathtub floor would move up and down depending on where you would move.
–The shower head wall plate was loose and off the wall. There was also visible mold in between the wall tiles.
Maybe because I got such a ridiculous price on the room they gave me the one that needs the most work?

Everything is slow here
Slow wifi
Slow bath tub drain
Slow sink drain
Slow toilet
Slow lights
Slow elevator
Pros:
Price
Nice atrium
Pretty clean from what I can see
Spacious (although a lot of wasted space)
Cool layout of the building
Free (albeit slowwww) wifi
Free parking
Cons:
Location
Old décor
Old furniture (I’m scared the mattress may actually be older than I am)
Old electronics
Old curtains
Horrible drainage everywhere
Thin and weird shower curtain
Scary elevator
In summary, maybe this place used to be something great back in the day, but unfortunately the rooms are not what you’d expect from looking at the building from the front doors.
One star for price and another one for making my request of a room away from the highway possible.

I went here for an event a couple weeks ago. At first it was all good. The whole place looks pretty nice. The bathrooms were clean and decent too.
Anyway, my main complaints are with the food. It was family style, but it was the worst food I’ve ever had at a hotel/​banquet. The bread was dry. The salad was wilted and old, like they put them on plates and left them in the fridge overnight. Gross. The soup was saltyyy and unequal portions. Some people got only broth and veggies, while some people got tons of noodles, and chicken. The chicken in the soup was also very dry. Idk how that even happens.
The main courses were nasty. The «family size» portions were not nearly enough for 10 people to share. The veggies were swimming in water. It looked like they took a bag of frozen veggies and either cooked them in water and dumped them on the plate or microwaved them. Disgusting, mushy, and overcooked. The mashed potatoes were flavorless. Luckily I saved a ball of butter from the bread because I had a feeling this would happen and used that to flavor the mashed potatoes, still gummy and not much flavor. The chicken was dry. So dry. They overcooked the hell out of it. It was like eating wood or something. We had to ask for extra gravy (which took like an hour to get) and that didn’t even help. Now I can see where the dry chicken in the soup came from! I’m guessing the beef was ok, but the portion was so small that by the time it got to my side of the table (I was last), it was gone. I didn’t get to try any, but it didn’t look terrible!
I looked around at other tables and some of them left their whole platters of chicken. That’s how bad it was. I wish I took pictures. Not sure how that slipped my mind.
The service was slow and inconsistent. They said ok when you asked for something, but never brought it. We had to ask multiple times for things.
Also, we were supposed to be able to get refills of everything and they said no, they don’t have any food left. Like wtf? How is this place still running with crappy food and crappy service?

nice sized rooms. Have microwave and refrigerator. Mini kitchenette. Breakfast was pretty good with eds and french toast mage to order. A little sparse on the fruit and drinks. Beds were comfortable with very small pillows. Overall the place is showing it’s age with worn carpet and 1970’s ambiance. Shower leaks a bit and the shower hardware was broken. TV’s are old, no HDMI slots. Vans are available to local transport. Very friendly staff.

I was afraid when I read previous reviews. This place wasn’t really bad. It wouldn’t be my first choice. It’s a place to sleep and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. The acoustics outside the door make this living space really loud. You can hear neighbors on both sides. The bedroom is really loud being streetside. There are six floors.
The room was open when we arrived, I was afraid to go inside. I had to shut the door and try the key to make sure it was my room. When we first arrived since I have an extreme fear of bedbugs I was checking out the room the bed. The bed had a bunch of body hair in it. We pulled out the couch in the front room to get it ready for our daughter. There’s a two inch pad in the couch. Better off planning to sleep on the couch. There was all kinds of stuff inside the hide a bed, even a lighter. There was absolutely no bedding for it. My husband went to talk to the front desk. We were sent to the room next door. The key didn’t work. He again, went to the front desk. Once inside the room was just the same, but clean. It’s so loud here! Bring your ear plugs. Between the traffic outside and the people running and screaming bloody murder in the halls.
We will be eating elsewhere after reading the restaurant (porter & legends) reviews. A continental breakfast (bowl of cereal) costs$ 10.
Overall this place doesn’t really uphold the Wyndham name and I would never stay here again. The mall is close, there’s a lot of restaurants, but nothing upscale. Being from out of town it’s difficult to make the right choices. BTW. There’s a lot of after midnight traffic in the halls.

Terrible, stinky, and dirty. This hotel looks amazing when you walk in and in the atrium, but that’s where the no-​tel motel feeling begins. The room is dirty and smells like smoke. They advertise pillow top mattresses, and I guess the pillows on top could be considered such. The mattress feels like a ten year old $ 100 spring mattress. The bar stinks and the tables are incredibly sticky. The rooms that face the toll-​road lack any serenity and are loud. My advice, esp. if you are a corporate traveler is to stay at literally any other hotel. The motel 6 looked cleaner.

A friend and I stayed in Room 336 the night of Sept. 12 in separate beds. A couple of days after returning home we both noticed many little bites, probably in the hundreds. A trip to the doctor confirmed they were bedbug bites.
We do not live in the same household so the night we spent at the Wyndham in Glenview would have been the only exposure we could have had together.
I spoke to the Manager, Matt, on Monday Sept. 21. He indicated he would have the room checked and would call me back later that day. He did not call me back.
I called him again on Tuesday Sept. 22. He indicated he was busy and would call me back in 15 — 20 minutes. He did not call me back.
I called again that afternoon and his voice mail box message said his mailbox was full and no additional messages could be left. So I left a message with the front desk clerk for him to call me back. He did not.
It’s bad enough to have had bugs crawling all over you and biting you while you sleep. But the non response from hotel management is inexcusable.

Booked to stay for 6 nights. Cancelled the reservation after the first night. The everything seemed clean but it needs a major overhaul!
Cons:
–This is NOT a hotel for small children. The bathroom outlets and main door latch are at eye level of my 3 year old. Perfect to attract her attention.
–No bed rails in the hotel for the little ones to keep them from rolling off the bed. Definitely business oriented.
–The closet door was off the track,
— the toilet tank cover didn’t fit properly.
–There are holes in the walls by the AC unit.
— Empty anchors in the walls.
The bathroom sink is barely hanging on.
My phone in my room was broke so i was not able to call for service so I had to go to the lobby and we were only given 3 towels for 2 adults and 2 children.
MAJOR renovations needed.
And that was just my room.
Pro’sThe staff was very friendly and helpful and the pool looked clean. Thats what the two stars are for.

I was not really impressed with this hotel. I booked through
for a super low rate which was probably my first mistake.
When I arrived the check in line was backed up and moved at an unacceptably slow rate.
The room was a good size however it looked like I stepped onto the set of Threes Company. Dated furniture, including a tube television in the bedroom.
I was thrown into a room on the corner of the 3^rd floor right by the stairwell. I could not get a wifi signal, so I actually had to go sit in a dark atrium to finish my work for the night.
The coffee maker in the room was filled with some nasty film and debris so coffee was not an option.
I would have made an effort to speak with a manager but I was too tired from a long day and I still needed to wrap up some work.
The hotel is in a weird location too. This part of town is crappy and run down, like the land time forgot.
I do not recommend this hotel no matter what rate you get.

Oh my gosh what a horrible hotel.
I regarded Wyndham as a good chain until I stayed here.
It’s an agonizing 25 minute shuttle drive from the airport — in the middle of nowhere neither here nor there.
You typically have to wait 45 minutes to get on the shuttle and then another 25 minutes drive to the hotel.
The staff is I’m unpleasantly short. I got to one of the bad rooms facing the freeway. apparently all the better rooms facing away from the freeway get booked quickly, so you have little chance of getting into those.
The furniture in the room is just cheap chipboard coated with veneer. Bathrooms are small. Tiny microwave. Not what I expect from an all suites Hotel.
I can only imagine what the morning will bring when I go for breakfast.
oh yes and shuttles back to the airport are only once an hour.
Save your money your time and your peace of mind and stay somewhere else!

It was nice… it did its job, was clean, friendly, and full a value. My wife and I didn’t have a chance to do Valentine’s this year so we pricelined a room for a weeknight getaway and this is what came up. Had a great afternoon/​evening together in a friendly, quiet hotel. The amenities were ok for $ 100 or less a night room but if the price point moved up, not sure if it’d be of value. All and all, it was what we thought was… and worth it!

A decent, comfortable and clean place to sleep for less than $ 100 a night. Quiet. Lightly upgraded.
GARDEN ATRIUM — an excellent romantic venue for events. Unlike carpets in ballrooms, you will enjoy the tile flooring. Very classy. When you look up from the main floor, you experience grandeur. The yellow-​ish uniform color of the hallway, with the atrium, mimics an Italian villa.
BED AND PILLOWS — plush. Makes you wanna sleep in all day.
TV – small screen (but justproportion for room size), old school but who cares, it works.
BATHROOM — daylight bulbs for better makeup application. Decent. Well-​stocked necessities.
SOFA AND CHAIRS — outdated. Firm cushions with a style of a spring break love seat. Overcrowded, but plenty of seating.
TABLE — efforts made to be modern with high chairs and counter. Annoying and Uncomfy for a petite guest.
FLOOR PLAN — rectangular room to maximize space and connectivity.
DOORS — a nice touch of swing out french doors. NO door bell. Knock on glass. Semi-​sheer curtains on doors that doesn’t provide absolute privacy when lights are on.
PORTER’S BISTRO — a questionable fine dining category. Sandwich is NOT fine dining. Bistro is a café, NOT fine dining.
PARKING — outdoors. Horrid if Illinois is having a snow storm. Your car will be covered in snow.

Cute hotel! Getting there is a little funky because you have to pass it to get to it off the 294 north. The other reviews of this place are a little harsh with guests being a little too picky for such an affordable place. Sure the décor is a little outdated and there are some elements of the room’s constructions (framing around bathroom mirror falling off) that need a little attention but overall it met my needs for a place to stay for the night. I like that the front living area of the room is spacious and has a lot of amenities (coffe maker, fridge, microwave).
The furniture is a little bouncy indicating some wear and tear but again this place wasn’t even $ 100 for the Saturday night so I am not complaining. I didn’t visit the pool but the hours are great, 7a-​11p and also the bar/​grill area was lively and moderately priced with great food options.
