"Everything was nice"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Chicago Gurnee

8/10 Good

"Overall, I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff was friendly, and the location worked well for my weekend trip. My only concerns were the cleanliness of the room, which could have been better, and the bathroom was quite small. With a little more attention to housekeeping, I think the stay would have been even better. I would still consider staying here again."

"The location to the Navy Graduation was great. Plenty of stuff to do. The climbing wall and bowling were a lot of fun."

"I had a very comfortable stay. Clean rooms, helpful staff, breakfast was on point, many selections to choose from, and most of all, close to the naval base and plenty of places to eat. Walmart right across the street for your essentials and a casino literally next door. Close to the freeway, easy to find, felt safe, planet fitness right across the street. If I comeback for a navy boot camp graduation, definitely this is where I’m gonna stay."
