What is the closest indoor water park hotel to Chicago?

What's the difference between a water park hotel and a pool hotel?
A water park hotel has a full indoor park: several slides, splash zones and often a wave pool or lazy river. A pool hotel has an indoor pool, sometimes with a single slide or a kids' pool. We list 18 water park hotels and 54 pool hotels.
How do you get your information?
From each hotel's own website, brand pages, tourism listings and booking sites. Where a hotel doesn't publish a detail, we say "Not published" instead of guessing.
