This is an old hotel but it was very clean. The cleaning staff was spit on & polite. Negative breakfast is not good. No eggs, bacon or waffles. Just Yogurt & muffins. The tv kept going in and out. Sometimes black screen. We were there for Naval Station graduation ceremony.

I liked the convenience of this property to the location of Great lakes Naval base. I did not like that it is shared with a DMV. Parking was horrible when the DMV was open

The hotel looks dated, but it was clean. Definitely convenient to the Navy RTC. Parking is free and always available. Gym was closed at the time we stayed there. Breakfast consisted of coffee, tea, yogurt and prepackaged muffins, so you need to go out to get more substantial food. Not much in the immediate area. Restaurants are a few miles away.

Parking in front was inconvenient during DMV hours. A lot of noise could be heard from people in hallways going in and out of rooms or just talking. Overall, room was clean, house keeping was phenomenal, and staff was welcoming, polite, and professional.

Pros: Place was very clean and staff was friendly. Cons: walls and doors are thin, can be noisy with people in hall or adjacent rooms. Toilet tank took an hour to refill. However good place to stay for boot camp graduation, which is what i was there for, close to base.
