Room was clean. Only spot that wasnt clean was the fridge wasn’t cleaned out, but it wasn’t a big deal. Such a comfy and homey feel. The bathroom is in the bedroom, though. Just if you don’t like that. I didn’t mind it. Breakfast was really good, I only had it for one day as all the other days I had to leave early. Breakfast is from 6/7-9/10 depending on the weekend/weekday. Very easy to navigate around the hotel, theres a basketball court, gym and a computer with a printer if needed! There’s a pool time but it was closed because of the season. I’d love to stay here again if I find myself around here again Not sure about other sonestas. This was great! But, beware the area around the hotel isn’t walkable, but if you want to walk around the small neighborhood you can.

Boot camp graduation

Room was perfect for a bigger family while in Chicago to celebrate for son’s boot camp graduation. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean. Only negative is that the dining chairs in the rooms could be updated as the material is peeling off and it is then left all over the floor. The couch lacks a little in comfort too. Overall would stay again!

The cleanliness of the room overall, was decent. The pullout bed was filthy. I didn’t like the maze and multiple entryways. I didn’t like the inconvenience of getting extra towels & plunger. I didn’t like that the ice machine didn’t work. The airvent in the bathroom was loud. I wouldn't want to stay here again, but it wasn’t horrible.

My Family & I Stayed Here During Our Love One's Navel Bootcamp Graduation.. This Hotel Was So Convenient To All The Places We Had To Visit.. We Had A 2-Bdrm 2 Bath That Worked Out Just Fine. They Can Use A Brand New Pull Out Couch & Protective Mattress Cover. We Stayed In A Seperate Building From The Office. So We Had To Either Walk Or Pull Around For Breakfast. We Asked For A Late Checkout To Be Able To Let Our Sailor Sleep In A Little Longer Before Taking Him Out To Eat & Dropping Him Back Off At Base. Only Downside To This Hotel Is There's No Shuttle Bus To The Navel Base. All In All.. I Recommend

The bathrooms had mold along the edges and the water did not drain properly in one bathtub. The couch and chair were stained, dirty, and worn. The kitchen chairs covered in fake leather were worn and coming off of all of the chairs. I would not stay here again. The carpet in part of the facility was covered in duct tape.
