This was one of the worst hotel stays I’ve had in a long time. Hotel was undergoing some changes in their computer system. & staff was clearly struggling with it. Which is fine, however they assigned someone to our room on accident after check in… so another family enters our room because the front desk made a mistake, and we traveled with a 2 year old. This shook her up a bit. Then they charged my card on file for an unauthorized amount after my deposit/incidental hold and couldn’t tell me what that was for. And it’s been a month and a half still haven’t received my deposit or that amount back and no damage was done to the room by us. Though the room was also FILTHY. Hotel is run down and nothing like the pictures online.

This was a wonderful stay! The outdoor pool and hot tub are fantastic (minus the somewhat short open hours - maybe expand to 9am to 10pm? :)) Everything else was top notch! Delicious daily breakfast with eggs, potatoes, pancakes, along with the usual offerings. The room was spacious, clean and comfy with a full kitchen - with an ice maker! We stayed here with plans of going into Chicago each day however it really is a bit of a drive/train ride so we ended up spending our second day just in Waukegan enjoying the beach and local bars and still had a blast!

Navy Graduation stay

The hotel was very big with friendly staffing for the most part. Their breakfast service was amazing, best we’ve had. Only issue we had with the room was the amount of gnats that were coming out of the bathroom sink and the state of the floors when we first arrived. Overall, for the price and quality, it was a good deal. We booked for a studio and it was perfect for our little family.

So this has to be the most noisy place we've ever stayed in. The furniture looks like it's something out of a rummage sale. I did find a bug in the bathroom light that eventually died that looked like a roach and in the middle of the night our fireplace kicked on and after that we could smell gas in our room and we opened all the windows and left as quickly as possible. The lady at the desk said she would have someone contact us about a partial refund but nobody ever did.
It did finally die in the light.
