Bill and I had the pleasure of staying in the Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel & Convention Center on Saturday night. This is one the better hotels Bill and I have stayed in (and we’ve stayed in many bad, bad, bad places).  When you first walk in, there is an escalator to get up to the hotel lobby.  The lower level of the hotel is the convention center.  The people behind the desk were extremely helpful and friendly.  The lobby was decorated with modern contemporary furniture.  They had some great sound proofing too.  Our room was on the third floor, but right over the lobby.  We never heard a thing from the lobby the entire time!   The rooms were fairly large, and the bathrooms had TVs in the mirrors.  The TV in the room was also HD, so my husband was in seventh heaven.  The bed was super comfortable too.  We also had a chase lounge chair in the rooms too!  If you are there for business, there was a desk to work on, and several plugins for all your business needs.  We also checked out the hotel bar, Gather, and that bar was very nice also.  We were there after the dinner we were there for.  The staff was awesome and made great drinks.  Again, the furniture was very contemporary but very comfortable.  My only complaint is that parking is quite a walk away from the hotel.  I lucked out that Bill dropped me off at the door, so I didn’t have to walk that far.

If you are in the Schaumberg area here in Illinois, this is definitely a hotel you should check out.
