"This was a great place to stay for our daughter’s Navy boot camp graduation. Easy, short drive to Great Lakes base, shopping and places to eat everywhere, across the street from Sarge’s Meet and Greet, and quiet. We had very noisy upper neighbors and when I told the front desk about it, they went up there and it was quiet from then forward. Good, warm, plentiful continental breakfast every morning, and a nice accommodative staff. Definitely 5 stars and highly recommended!"
