"Staff was always welcoming and super helpful. Room and property were clean and area felt safe. I think it’s wild that you have to pay nightly for open, unmonitored parking lot parking - I mean, where else is someone from out of town going to park? - but that is a corporate decision, not a staff decision, so I’m not going to knock them or the property itself.

"Definitely an older property but the friendliness of the staff and the support to the new Navy sailors was top notch. Beds are definitely smaller than a queen but it was cold enough to enjoy a snuggle with the wife. Distance to and from the Navy graduation was perfect. "

"Stayed here for my son's graduation from RTC Great Lakes. Thankful for the 6:45 am shuttle to the ceremony which got us there in plenty of time to get a good seat in front of his division. Rooms had plenty of space for two adults and three teens. We spent one day hanging around the hotel as our new sailor needed a lounge day, and the room was big enough to feel comfortable hanging out.
