This location is great for families going on/off base during and after graduation. The staff was great, I did not hear any excessive noise from other visitors as experienced in previous ratings. Would stay again.

Disappointing and Grungy….stay ANYWHERE else!
We stayed at this location because of its proximity to RTC Great Lakes as our son had just graduated Boot Camp. The location was literally the only thing acceptable about this location. Everything was outdated and worse than that completely dirty and unacceptable. The couch was so disgusting that we had to ask for extra sheets to cover it before we were comfortable sitting down on it, and when I say comfortable, I’m just kidding because it was falling apart and broken. The bathrooms were gross and unclean. The kitchen was gross and unclean. The utensils were gross and unclean. The carpet throughout the entire hotel smelled of mildew and mold. The elevator was completely dirty and always had some form of garbage on the floor. The windows were covered with some type of film that I can only describe as dried milk. We stay at a ton of hotels every year and this is by far the worst we’ve stayed in since the 80s. This place needs a complete renovation and/or to be condemned. Literally stay anywhere else. On a positive note, if you’re looking for good food go to Libertyville, it’s like 10mins down the road and there’s a ton of restaurants. The wicked egg was amazing.

Not the best, not the worst
Booked through Hotels.com and when we checked in, the front desk was kind of rude about it and charged an extra $100 which he said will be refunded, but that should be disclosed as many people use debit cards and that’s an extra hold on funds. Rooms were clean but mattresses and furniture was obviously cheap and not very comfortable. Price was fine for the size of the room

Christine had a wealth of knowledge but her demeanor was over-bearing and rude. We had a suite and the space was great and the beds were comfortable. The hallways and the room cleanliness were terrible. We had mold in the shower that would not drain, as well as it appeared to have not been cleaned thoroughly. The furniture was dirty with what appeared to be snot wiped on it. Very disappointing. Will not stay here again.

They were overbooked, which really didn’t bother us because instead of one two bedroom we got 21 bedrooms. Most of the office staff was great but one lady was pretty rude. The room was clean although some of the furniture was pretty worn. It was an overall nice day. We were only there for one night obviously because the time of year we didn’t get to use the pool, hot tub or basketball court but those are great to have right there we would stay again.
