Highly recommend, Navy base close by
It was a cute, clean and conveniently located hotel stay with amazing amenities like laundry, appliance borrowing and even a small gym available. Plenty of parking! I even noticed its pet friendly and has a cute small outdoor patio on the side of the building. The room was clean and have no complaints. This is a perfect place to stay for Navy graduation. About 7 minutes away from the Great Lakes base. Loved our stay here.

Everything! It was close enough to the Navy base, Walmart and restaurants! The room was clean. The only thing is it still smells brand new and slight pet order. Nothing too serious! Overall a perfect place to stay!

Pleasantly surprised
Sometimes you don't know what to expect when staying at a hotel for the first time. The pictures always look nice but then you get there and things can be a little sketchy. I was pleasantly surprised as was my wife at the condition of the property, the friendliness of the staff, and the overall experience that we had. This is a very well maintained facility and we had a nice stay even though it was a short one. We will definitely be staying at this property again when we visit relatives in the area.
