Howard Johnson by Wyndham Waukegan Great Lakes

8/10 Good

"Stayed at this hotel for my grandson’s graduation from Navy bootcamp in September. The hotel is outdated but was clean. What stood out the most was the pleasant and helpful staff. From front desk staff to housekeeping. They are very accommodating to families traveling to see their sailors. This is not a property you want to spend a lot of time in."
