Top Northern Illinois University Hotel Reviews

Hollywood Casino Aurora

8/10 Good

"."

Best Western Sycamore Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Ok"

Comfort Inn DeKalb - University Area

8/10 Good

"This was a quiet hotel with very reasonable prices. It was a 3-minute drive from where I needed to be, so the location was very convenient. The staff was helpful and friendly. The room was spacious, and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was not cleaned very well. There was hair in the shower, across the floor, and on parts of the counters. The hot breakfast was not good at all. On the first day, they offered a dry biscuit and sausage patties. The second day offered sausage patties and eggs. Aside from the bathroom cleanliness and breakfast, it was an okay stay for the price."

Fairfield Inn and Suites By Marriott St Charles

10/10 Excellent

"Clean. Quiet"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Dekalb

"Good experience"

Best Western Rochelle Inn & Suites near DeKalb

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was really great. I loved the spacious two bedroom we had! Plenty of room to stretch out! We did notice that the hallway at least on our floor (3) smelled like stale smoke. But the room was good and did not have the smell. Kitchenette did not have any dishes or silverware, so you have to bring those."
