This property is really old and outdated. The area was really ghetto. It was my fault for not researching enough when I booked it. We needed a place to stay for my son’s Navy graduation and it’s really close. The staff was wonderful but the hotel was terrible.

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
