We stayed at this hotel on our vacation to Six Flags Theme Park. When we checked in everything seemed great until we got to our room and it was the wrong type of room, the desk clerk even read back the hotel room type. We went back to notify him that it was the wrong room. We reserved a double... more

I've stayed here a couple times when visiting my husband at Great Lakes Naval Base, and I have a room booked here for the upcoming weekend. This is a new hotel, and it's VERY clean, which is my number one consideration when booking a hotel. The staff is pretty friendly. They have a hot continental breakfast. In my expereince, it... more

Brand new facility (or at least I think it was new - it looked and felt new). Extremely courteous staff during check-in and check-out. Large spacious comfortable rooms. Love the flat screen TV. Definitely would stay again. more

First of all, I was so disappointed by this experience that I intended to write about it as soon as I returned home, but I've been sick with the flu, no doubt made worse by my lack of sleep while staying at the Holiday Inn Express - Waukegan. I stayed here because it was close to the Great Lakes Naval... more

My family traveled here from MA to attend my brother's Naval Graduation at Great Lakes. The hotel was a perfect spot for our large group. My parents, my two toddlers, my husband and I all stayed in a large 2 bedroom unit. There were pocket doors between the rooms which did provide some privacy for my parents. The rooms were... more

There were four adults and 2 toddlers in our party, and we had come here for my son's graduation from Navy boot camp. The proximity to the base was very convenient, and Dan, the manager was gracious, knowledgeable, and eager to help us find our way around an unfamiliar town, for places to eat and play, more

I traveled from North Carolina to see my son graduate from the Great Lakes Naval Base. I had never been to the Chicago area before...needless to say I was a bit nervous about staying and finding my way around the area. The folks at the new Holiday Inn Express were excellent hosts! They gave an amazing recommendation for a celebration... more

I stayed for three nights at the Holiday Inn Express in Waukegan, IL when I had business nearby. I'd stayed at the nearby Courtyard and Residence Inn for past visits, but the prospect of staying at a new hotel appealed to me, and the price was better. I am glad I did. I've stayed at Holiday Inn Express hotels before... more

This hotel is pretty new and in good shape. It is in the Fountain Circle area, a new development with some stores and a number of hotels. The inside is nice, and the room was excellent, with two large flatscreen TVs, and a very comfortable bed. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance, including a Buffalo Wild Wings... more
