Spoke to manager (instead of front desk) - hotel OK w/ 18 and over.
Make sure the manager puts a note in your reservation. Some hotels are very strict and others let it slide. Where you get in trouble is if the hotel is oversold when you check-in. If they can find a reason not to honor your reservation, it saves the hotel the costs associated with "walking" you.
The reasons here have largely to do with local liquor laws. I have no idea what Illinois law is on the subject, but it's more than possible that if the mini-bars stock liquor that they can't rent rooms to under-age guests.
