The room was clean and nice and I just told my husband I loved the breakfast options and another top notch thing was that they had a wonderful set up for Navy sailor families to watch the graduation ceremony in a private room. It was wonderful! Thanks Sonesta ES Suites Waukegan for making our stay memorable!

Very disappointed

Room was not ready twice and was told to come back both times. Hotel was not full so I am confused why they couldn’t give us a different room when I asked I was told they couldn’t change it in the computer. Room smelled like syrup and one bathroom smelled like urine. Breakfast was the only decent thing but tables weren’t washed between guests

Pool was clean room was nice. Breakfast was wonderful with great selection.Convenient for navy graduation and welcome center and mall.no place is perfect. The hallway carpet could be replaced and stairway cleaned little more. Gives bad impression. Some local pizza places little shady but thats not hotel fault.very very nice staff. Even a viewing area for navy graduation if you were unable to go in person. Would definitely stay again!

Nice full kitchen. The whole room was very clean. Well designed use of space, the building and trees give a more honey feel than a regular motel. Large workspace is helpful, even if you're a tourist. I would recommend. (Side note: the elevator was not in the main office area.) Attractive pools and landscaping.
