Top Naval Base Great Lakes Hotel Reviews

Red Roof Inn Gurnee - Waukegan

10/10 Excellent

"Wondering stay at red roof inn! Shuttle to the naval base was great as well, if you’re coming to see a loved one graduate I can’t recommend this hotel and their staff enough!"

Entire Beautiful Grove Home

8/10 Good

"I did not receive check-in information until I arrived at the location despite sending message through the app the day before. It required 2 phone calls before receiving a text with the info. The host was gracious enough to allow us to arrive early before 4pm as we drove in from The airport in Chicago and arrived earlier than anticipated. However—there is an alarm on the house to be disarmed at 4pm that was not disarmed before we arrived so it went off and we had to contact the host again. Overall it is clean. All the bedrooms and bath are upstairs and the stairs are fairly steep. It was a perfect location to thenNEX and Naval base for my son’s bootcamp graduation. The home is older but nice upgrades. Beds were comfy and living areas were spacious and well maintained."

"We were in North Chicago for my sons Navy graduation. The house was a little big for what we needed but we wanted him and his girlfriend (now fiancee) to have privacy. It was so close to rhe base, about 1 mile. The hosts communication was excellent. They responded almost immediately. We had no issues. The beds were very comfortable. Would highly recommend"

10/10 Excellent

"The house was perfect for being here for a short trip. It was clean and comfortable. There is a family that lives in the lower part of the house so you will hear them clearly. If noise bothers you i would not stay. It wasn’t a huge problem for us as we are used to noises. It was close to the train station and naval base. Close to shopping and parks. I had a great time and a nice stay."
