Howard Johnson by Wyndham Waukegan Great Lakes

Very good value for a last minute booking. Well kept, clean rooms with great staff. Stayed for three nights and every day rooms were cleaned up and restocked with basic items like every hotel should be. Really liked the refrigerators, although a bit old they are of good size to store larger items if you have kids and plans to stay for a few days.

Everything was very clean, honestly for the price I was expecting less quality but I was very pleasantly surprised, everything was very well kept. The bathroom and shower was tiles which was a pleasant surprise and the AC was already running and ready for me. The staff was very friendly and on top of keeping the main lobby looking clean and welcoming as well

No blankets in the room. Front desk couldn’t get one and the bed had sheets only so had to go to Walmart and buy a blanket to stay warm.

How close it was to the military base

The tv didn't work right. Didn't want to turn on, hard to work any controls. Took the remote to the front desk and they replaced the batteries but didn't help. And the controls on the tv didn't want to work. Very frustrating.
