I enjoyed the charming woodsy decor of the Grand Bear Resort At Starved Rock. The accessible pathways and helpful staff made navigating the resort easy for me as a senior, enhancing my overall experience.

The indoor water park was a blast for my son and kept everyone entertained during our stay. We also loved the proximity to Starved Rock State Park, which offered great hiking and scenic views that the whole family enjoyed.
In my wife’s opinion, the rude front desk staff could improve the check-in experience. More family-friendly dining options would also be a game changer.

Just a good match for a short layover in Utica with outstanding value for money. The staff was incredibly kind, even comping us a Jacuzzi suite after a reservation mix-up. Make sure to have a confirmation email handy just in case.

It was just a reliable pick for a brief hiatus in Utica with good value. We really enjoyed the hiking trails nearby. Bring your own kitchen supplies as the cabin's were lacking.

Relaxing by the pool with a cold drink and enjoying the spacious villa made our stay really special. The only hiccup was a slight delay in getting our pizza, but it was worth the wait! 🍕

Had an awesome time with my friends! We enjoyed the water park and went hiking at Starved Rock State Park, which was incredible. We also played a round at Deer Park Country Club, and it was worth it! Just a heads-up, the service at the front desk can be a bit slow, but overall, it was a great trip.
The only downside was that the check-in process took longer than expected, which was a little frustrating after a long drive.

We had a cozy villa with a nice kitchen that made cooking easy and fun. The water park was great for the kids, they screamed and laughed for hours while I just watched them enjoy themselves and feel free.
It wasn’t exactly cheap but you get what you pay for.
Tourists from United States often stay at these properties. Ideas for your future trips.
