Country Inn & Suites by Carlson-Sycamore

It was a nice hotel overall, but some flaws. The water fountain downstairs by the buffet hits the wall whenever you want a drink! Also, there were splattered apples all over the stairs when we got there. The buffet was ok, and the service was pretty well.

Wonderful hotel! The staff very helpful and kind. Breakfast bar was great. The room was accurately depicted by the online pictures, spacious and clean.

The majority of my wedding guest stayed at the Country Inn and Suites in Sycamore and had a good experience. The rooms were all ready when people checked in, there is a bar across the street and don’t forget the free breakfast! The staff were very accommodating to guests needs. I asked them to hand out a piece of paper to each guest in the block when they checked in and they said they could easily do that.
Scheduling a block of rooms was somewhat challenging because only a manager could do it (it was hard to reach her) and the block was limited to 20 rooms. I was told that when the 20 rooms were full, guests would still be offered the discounted rate. Some guests said they were offered the discounted rate, while others were not. Some hotels offer a free room to the bride and groom if the block is full, but instead we got the business suite at a regular room rate (still a good deal, but they could have comped us since we filled about 40 rooms).
I would have given a higher rating if it wasn’t for this — my sister in law prepared a breakfast plate for herself and husband and daughter who were in their room. When she was walking down the hall to her room, she overheard the housekeepers talking about how much food she was eating and so on. She happens to speak Spanish and was very offended by the rude comments.

Very nice and very clean. …Tim and Katrina were very sweet at the desk. Definitely would return.

I reserved this hotel for myself and my bridesmaids to get ready in for the day of my wedding. We had the largest suite in the hotel and it suited our needs nicely. There was plently of room for our makeup and hair girls to set up while some of us lounged and watched TV. Even with a photographer in tow, we had space.
The night of the wedding my husband and I stayed here. The King size bed was a dream and we vowed to get one of our own one day. I wanted to steal the pillows and comforter because they were so comfy! But I didn’t. Haha. The breakfast bar is okay, nothing too fancy, but it’s nice that they offer it.
We would stay here again.

We just used this hotel after our wedding (for us and our guests) and it was great! The rooms were very large, comfy beds, had a fridge and microwave and strong air-​conditioner. The people were very friendly and helpful. The room was super clean and the breakfast was decent. I would stay here again. (they also let us to late checkout for no extra charge:))

I gave this a 5 star rating because of our visit. Clean to a fault, friendly and helpful staff, location, just a pleasant experence all around!!! Room was great. everything worked well. Just can’t say enough good about it.

Really cozy and nice place to stay! I was not sure about small town and how the hotel would be, but it was really nice. There is good shopping around, Ross, TJ Maxx, Target, JC Penny, etc. The front desk personnel here was really nice and a great help! I would stay here again if I find myself in the area.

This hotel was alright. Kind of in a weird spot and not much by way of amenities. The breakfast bar was acceptable but not awesome. It is within walking distance of a few places but nothing awesome. The best thing this place has going for it is that it is cheap for how nice it is. If you need a hotel close to Dekalb it is a decent choice.

Best value! King suite, pool/​hot tub, free (good) breakfast, free coffee in the lobby, in room fridge/​wet bar/​microwave/​coffee, great service, 100% no smoking, and CLEAN!!!

We booked here for a high school reunion and are very pleasantly surprised.
Let’s start with comfortable beds with many extra pillows. I’m sleeping well. Maid service is good. The room is quiet except for the kid upstairs running around.
The exercise rooms had treadmills. Pool and hot tub are wa.
Breakfast is served on real dishes. Let me repeat: real dishes, not the plastic plates you get at Hampton or HI Express. Bacon this morning. Zowie.
Front desk staff is helpful.
The only problem is with Unilocal that maps this place 1.6 miles from where it actually is. Come on, get it right.

If you want a good night’s sleep, forget it. The hotel itself is in good shape, and the continental breakfast is good, but if people are noisy (say, until 5am), the staff will just let them continue to destroy their hotel. If you want to party all night there, it’s the perfect place. Otherwise, stay at the Comfort Inn across the street.
