Book your stay elsewhere! When we checked in the ceiling in the lobby was falling down, there was nothing welcoming at all about this lobby. I was weary about staying at this point, we went ahead and got checked in. When we opened the door to the room my heart dropped, this trip was to see my son graduate from boot camp and have his overnight liberty, the thought of having my family stay here brought me to tears. We ended up getting a refund and staying at another hotel.

Room was ok. No iron, no coffee pot. Had to ask for towels. Ice machine was not working. No snack bar, snack machine was not working. Room was never checked to be cleaned. Suspicious activities going on with people exchanging money in the hallway. One woman looked like she was on drugs with scabs all over her body. Drinking in the back of the premises.walked outside the second night and a man was bringing a woman inside who looked like she was under the influence. Room next door was blasting tv and constantly arguing and talking very loud. Great Lakes should really look into recommendations for stays.
