“Great Stay- Close for Navy Bootcamp Graduation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

We stayed 2 nights (Nov 11') and had a great experience. VERY close to the naval base in Great Lakes, actually right around the corner. The rates are very affordable, and both of our rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast could use some work, but at the rate that we paid.... it was no problem. More people need to take advantage of this place when they are traveling to Great Lakes for graduation, it's a deal! It took us about 3-4 minutes to return our sailor after his day away.

“Convenient to Base, but just OK”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2011

Stayed here to attend my Niece's graduation from Navy "A" school. The hotel is close to base, so that is convenient. Room was what I'd expect from this class hotel. I'd give cleanliness a C+. Breakfast is minimal. Hotel is in an "iffy" area and I wouldn't recommend wandering around at night. Staff was accommodating. Overall, if you're looking for something close to base and will only be there to sleep, I'd recommend this. Luxury, it is not.

“Convenient to Naval Recruit Training Command”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2011

We booked our stay here after reading several positive reviews. All I can say is... thank you for such reviews! The rooms were clean and we slept very well. The only negative thing was that our safe didn't work, nor did they have any regular coffee in our room (only decaf... and what good is that?). No biggie though, we just got some down in the lobby.
I will say, whether you stay at the Sleep Inn or not... be sure to eat across the street at The Full Moon Cafe! They have a HUGE menu and the food was like good ol' fashioned home-cooked meals. We ate there twice... once with our son who graduated from the USNRTC... the service and food was great!!

“Inside okay but outside something else”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2010

My wife and I stayed here one night, March 7, 2010, which was a Sunday night. The room was adequate though small. No exercise room but that's okay. Nothing fancy but the price is right. Outside the hotel was atrocious. Cigarette butts all over the place along with garbage of every type. Broken beer bottle as well. Was only 2 or 3 cars in the parking lot if that tells you anything (of course was a Sunday night). As a traveler who logs 50-70 hotel nights per year this was a pretty depressing place to stay. I will not stay here again. To many alternative choices.
