Amenities & Facilities
property Amenities
The useful details extend well beyond the breakfast buffet and indoor pool.
The amenities at Residence Inn by Marriott Chicago Lake Forest/Mettawa are arranged around longer visits, with full kitchens, breakfast, laundry facilities, parking, exercise space, and business services reducing the small inconveniences that accumulate during an extended stay. Every room provides residential-style features, while housekeeping, pet accommodation, pool access, and meeting use remain governed by the hotel’s policies.
