Comfy bed, nice tv and a smoking room. What could be better?
For my first time in Waukegan, this was a great place to stay. It's close to an Enterprise rent a car, great service all around in this area. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. Duncan donuts on the corner. Great place to stay. Quiet and peaceful.
Its nice and good fir the stay,only i can say is need to pit a rug at the bathroom because after taking shower your feet is wet and maybe your gonna be slept away
Room was not clean, door to room was incredibly difficult to open. Door to building had broken glass and did not lock. Blankets and sheets had holes in them (like mice had been chewing?), paint was chipping in room, bathroom was old and dirty, towels were not folded so potentially used. Whole place not worth it

Great place my girlfriend and I stayed there so we can get away and enjoys ourselves the staff was awesome
It was ok for an last minute booking,he gave me a ground floor room because I told him that I couldn't walk up the stairs! I appreciate the microwave and fridge in the room, and the ice machine was excellent! I would stay there again.
