Our room was spacious, nice layout with the TV that swivels from the bed to the living area. Plenty of parking. Safe area. Lots of stores/restaurants near by. The only thing we didn't like was not having the option to cast to the TV from our phones. The TV options as far as HBO and Netflix didn't work either.

I was in Waukegan IL for my sons graduation from RTC NAVY Bootcamp and this property was about 8 to 10 min from the ceremony so convenient and quiet the kitchen was a must because my sailor wanted a dish only mom can make and there was adequate pots and utensils for what I needed the kitchen for , will definitely recommend anybody going to RTC Navy graduation should stay here.

The property was great,it could you a lil upgrade and my husband suggested that they need a smoking area,everyone is supposed to smoke across the street but everyone smokes in the parking lot, so they throw the cigarette buds on the ground...So if they put a lil bench with ashtrays at the end of the property it would be great...Other then that its a great property
