I stayed for 3 nights from 8/14-8/17/24. My son graduated from The Navy Boot Camp. I liked that it was minutes away from the ceremony. Also minutes away from stores a places to eat. The staff was very nice and friendly. The hallway carpet was dirty, but the rooms were very clean. I will recommend this facility for a brief stay in Great Lakes, Illinois.

Everything was great. Only 3 things could use some attention. The hallway carpets need a cleaning, people in parking lot asking for money and the flag out front needs replaced as its torn in several spots. Would definitely visit again if i travel that way.

Nice Hotel, needs better parking
The only issue we had was parking. During the week, the hotel shares parking with the DMV, so we had a hard time finding a parking spot

The staff was amazing. Accommodating us every time we asked for something. The room itself and the area wasn’t the best. But for the money, a good, easy option!

Pictures definitely do the place justice. The area in general is pretty odd for a hotel. And the smell in the hotel and rooms were just awful. But it wasn’t the worst place I’ve stayed…
