We had a wonderful stay here! The room was very comfortable, and everything went smoothly with no issues at all. The staff were kind, helpful, and made us feel very welcome. My boyfriend and I loved our experience and are already planning to come back and book the same place again.

We’ve stayed here a couple times when visiting our sailor in Great Lake. The rooms are perfect for the families to celebrate and spend time with their loved ones. The breakfast is nice, lots of options. The suites offer the perfect space to cook if your sailor wants a home-cooked meal, or to bring food back and just relax. The location is great, making it easy to go back-and-forth to Base and around the area.
