harrah's joliet illinois hotel and casino

Looks like a hotel from the 70's that was refurbished (?) some time ago and never maintained. Joliet |7.34km from city center Dirty, old run down hotel. Especially helpful if you are traveling with family because the rooms are large. They did put signs on doors reminding of the non-smoking policy, but it felt like we were going to get charged for smoking when we weren't rather than addressing the issue at the source (and you could narrow down the source by walking through halls!) I assume this isn't a regular issue, so would consider staying here again because the hotel itself was very nice. We also had some people at the hotel who were smoking **** at the hotel (legal in Illinois) but it stunk and even would travel through vents to other rooms. Disappointing because I really thought this was about to become my preferred hotel within the brand for family travel.

The cons - Hilton honors points only accrues at half the rate - I didn't realize this ahead of time and it isn't a problem with the hotel but rather the brand. Staff was generally very friendly and helpful. Lots of shelving/storage since it's considered for extended stay. The room itself was nice - couch that could be pulled out to a bed - we didn't need the extra bed, but the couch was actually pretty comfy. Breakfast was good (better than many other hotels).

We had a room next door to friends we were traveling with, so I appreciated that they worked to have us near each other. We stayed here for a spring break getaway combined with a dance competition.
