The hotel is in the perfect spot, not just for the naval base, but for any of the attractions around the area. Close to burned mill mall, ( which is very nice btw ) six flags, ( when it's in season ) and Chicago it self. It's a straight shot right into the belly of the city. It is by... More

We stayed here from March 21-23 as my stepson was graduating from the Navy up at Great Lakes. The location is perfect for the Naval Station Great Lakes, Six Flags or the Gurnee Mills Mall. It is also located next to many restaurants, a bowling alley, a gym and a huge Wal-Mart yet the area is not overly congested. The... More

This place was comfortable and accommodating. The staff were pleasant, and the rooms were fresh and clean. Breakfast was good, and the location has plenty of parking. There's not much nearby to walk to, so it might not be the top pick for itchy families, but it suited me well for my business with the Navy.

This is a good hotel in this area. You have a few eating joints close. There is a gas station and wall-mart close to the hotel. The rooms were decent and the staff were very courteous and polite. The room was sufficiently big. The washroom was neat and tidy. Had a good experience overall.

This hotel is just a basic average place. There really isn't anything good or bad to say. The location is good. There are several restaurants close by, as well as a WalMart. There is also a bowling alley behind the hotel for quick entertainment. The front desk person was nice, but incredibly slow upon check in. I cannot speak to... More

I could not be happier with the overall experience I had with HI Express Waukegan. The rooms extremely clean the staff very helpful and the manager (Dan) was excellent and informative about the area. Not only would I stay again I would definitely recommend.
