We were very pleased with our stay. A previous rating comment mentioned a bad smell. We did notice a slight musty smell upon entry, but not obnoxious or overwhelming. Everything else was over and above our expectations. Some areas did show their age, but everything was clean and the staff VERY accommodating. We were there with several other family members for our grandson's Naval Recruit Training Graduation and everyone agreed they were very happy with the facilities. The restaurant was great and the staff there also did an excellent job!

Positives: Clean and friendly.

Negatives: Slight musty smell upon entry, but not obnoxious or overwhelming.

As soon as I walked into the hotel lobby it had a bad smell. On the way to our room everything looked outdated and dirty and when we got to our room the smell was worse. It smelled like mildew and everything in the room was outdated and our TV remote wouldn't turn the TV on, we had to get up to turn it off and on. Had the air running but it was very humid in the room. The bathroom towels were scratchy and didn't smell very good. Would not recommend this hotel. The shower head in the shower was nice but that's it!

Positives: Nothing

Negatives: The place smelled bad and everything was outdated and dirty.

Upon arrival we found the staff to be very nice. So was the pool area and we really enjoyed the free breakfast. But the room had a very musty smell. The night stand could not have been dusted in a while and we killed three bugs in the room.

Positives: Breakfast was good and staff was friendly.

Negatives: Room smelled, was very dusty and I killed three bugs.

The hotel over all was a nice but couldnt see the sign because the trees were in the way. The pool was little chilly so my girlfriend wouldn't get in and the hot tube was broke so she was turned off by all of that.

Positives: The staff was friendly rooms were clean.

Negatives: The hot tube was broken, had to get different room key 3 times.

The hotel is good if you don't like elevators and have a need for exercise by searching for working vending and ice machines. Cleanliness wasn't an issue; however the facility needs to be updated. It is a 2 level facility and I guess management doesn't believe that people with mobility issues have a right to the second floor. The rooms were moderately small and the desk and chair were simply that. A desk and a chair, nothing special. Also, this facility needs better lighting at night, especially around back where they seem to send most of their guests. I loved the full cable TV channels which did include NICK and Cartoon Network, but there is nothing for kids to do but swim. I guess all the fun is reserved for Six-Flags which is fairly close to this facility. If nothing else is available I'll go back.

Positives: It was close to the attraction that we were going to see.

Negatives: Rooms were small and no amenities.

I stayed here because my nephew was graduating from boot camp at the great lakes Navy base. This hotel was very clean. The bedding was amazing. The beds were triple sheeted! They offer all guests a free breakfast which was delicious. The staff was extremely helpful. And the location was outstanding. I recommend this highly for anyone going to great lakes but additionally it was very close to Gurnee mills and great America.

Positives: Everything.

Negatives: No negatives.

If you can get beyond the outdated rooms and hallways it is a great place to stay. I will go back after they do a renovation because the staff were all very friendly and helpful and the bar area made for meeting a lot of the locals and having a great experience.

Positives: The bar & restaurant, staff were very friendly.

Negatives: The hotel is outdated and the rooms need a massive makeover.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 07 Jun 2006 rated 2 out of 10.

The staff was courteous, the hotel was easy to find.

Positives: The Pool.

Negatives: The Smell!
