Absolutely loved this hotel. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. We ate breakfast two days at JoJo's which is situated in the same parking lot. The food was excellent, fresh and hot! There was plenty of parking if you're driving and the hotel is located in a perfect location. There's restaurants, shopping plaza's, fast food, gas stations, and they also have a casino in Fountaine Square. If I'm traveling again to North Chicago, Waukegan, IL area, I'll definitely stay here again!

The water pressure was horrible. It was like using an 8 oz. water bottle to shower. The complimentary breakfast was coffee, apple juice, orange juice, and prepackaged muffins. It was crazy!! Gone are the glory days of Howard Johnson!!
