Nice, helpful staff, inexpensive and not far from downtown. On the downside - no elevator, vending machines only take $1 bills and no other amenities.

The beds wers terrible, they were the most uncomfortable mattress I've ever slept on. They are covered with plastic making them so noisy.
The website said 'pet friendly' but when we checked in we were directed to a room that was next to a noisy street. And were told that by the front desk that was their preferred pet room.
Im pretty sure i have athlete foot now and I was wearing rubbers shoes, so the tub must carry fungus.
The shower was designed for someone under 5 feet tall.
Free breakfast was a room temperature yogurt, old looking fruit and a prepackaged muffin. The coffee cup was like 6 oz so that was lame.
It was not enjoyable at all.

This property is really old and outdated.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.

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

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…

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!
