Conveniently located near Great Lakes Naval Station for my son’s PIR last 4/3/25. Key is to travel light as the inn has no lifts.

Overall this is a decent place to stay for a limited time. I came for a navy graduation and stayed the weekend. The staff were friendly and helpful. My only complaint was that my room was adjoining and I could hear EVERYTHING from the room next door. They were arguing all night and it was very loud. Thankfully they left the next day. Other than that it’s a decent property.

Weekend stay

The noise commotion in first night. It was after 1:30 am and it carried on outside. Not having the fitness center as highly hoped. Parking is shared with the dmv and another hotel. It was a bit nutty on Saturday morning Staff was friendly and room was good.
