Place was great very close to the navy base and staff was great
It is a very nice and quiet place to stay if you don't want to break the bank over a place to stay. The Staff is quite nice and very welcoming, however the cleaning part, needs improvement!

Good location near the naval base, friendly and helpful staff, clean room. Small bathroom, poorly lit rooms. Overall would stay again.
Met our needs. Clean and comfortable. Lots if people who seem to live between the hotel and their cars in the parking lot. We found them to be kind and respectful.
Everything was clean and the staff were helpful, there was free parking and it wasn’t too busy. My only issue was that the beds are extremely hard. I sleep on a firm mattress at home and this was like sleeping on the floor.
Not the most well kept place. Room was clean enough. Only ever saw one member of staff there. It was an affordable rate. Not the greatest area. Overall stay was fine. Not great or terrible
There was a power outage, we were unable to check in do there systems being down. Not there fault. We had to go find another hotel. Nothing bad happened on the staff. Out of there hands
had issues with the TV , called they came right up to fix, staff very friendly.
Hotel itself is old they are working on it.
Always book here when staying in area
The room was perfect for our stay to arrive for our daughter’s navy graduation early. The heater was awesome, the bed was comfortable, our stay here was awesome!! Thank Red Roof Inn Waukegan!!
Front desk guy was extremely nice! Pets stay free too! Very close to the Naval Base for graduation. Recommend Mia’s pancake house for breakfast (it’s right down the street)

Awful awful staff. Got 2 confirmation emails saying we were booked. Arrived to the address and was told they cancelled our booking 6 hours before arrival. Absolutely awful service would never recommend anyone to stay here.
The room was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was great. The shuttle service to the Navy RTC graduation ceremony was great.
