The first room I got had a big ass dead roach and the carpet wasn’t vacuumed and there was a plastic bag covering the smoke detector which was ladder high there was blood on the top blanket and a black mark on the sheets I complained to management they transferred me to another room but was surprised that the room wasn’t cleaned than the other room key didn’t work I had to make like 4 trips in and down the stairs to get my key reactivated after it worked the carpet still wasn’t vacuumed the beds were cleaned but there was a big ass roach on the wall. Than the next day I woke up and found a big ass roach on the vanity. I came down for navy graduation so all hotels were sold out so I had no other option to stay here.

Good place to stay for the price.

The room was clean and the check in was very simple and easy. The room needs little update,but it serves it's purpose. Very close to the Great Lakes RTC.

Doing their best

It’s not the nicest hotel, it’s also not labeled as such. We had one of the 2 story rooms, it gave our family the rest and space we needed. Any of the staff we encountered were very kind and helpful. It looks like they’re in an ongoing process of making the property better, on a daily basis. We had no major issues with our stay.

Dont Book!

My family and I had a horrible experience the room had 3 beds it had an upstairs and it was so hot no air would go up there ceiling fan would not work. No one ever cleaned our rooms we stayed 5 nights and our sheets never got changed we only got towels cause we had to ask and they refused to give us more towels. No remotes or batteries. No one asked us if we needed anything or any trash taken we had to do it all ourselves. As a navy family we are very upset we had such a horrible experience.
