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!

So this has to be the most noisy place we've ever stayed in. The furniture looks like it's something out of a rummage sale. I did find a bug in the bathroom light that eventually died that looked like a roach and in the middle of the night our fireplace kicked on and after that we could smell gas in our room and we opened all the windows and left as quickly as possible. The lady at the desk said she would have someone contact us about a partial refund but nobody ever did.
It did finally die in the light.

There was a used bar of soap in the shower and a dirty pair of underwear under the bed. The toilet was clogged when we arrived. Then to get fresh towels we were required to take our towels to the desk before they would allow us fresh towels. We also had an emergency call from our family on the west coast that they refused to put through to the room. They claimed that it is policy to not connect the call unless they have the room number. The room number was the only thing that our family member didn’t have because we had only checked in that day. They didn’t even try to let us know anyone was trying to contact us.

We had a very good experience. They are well prepared to assist people who are coming in for navy graduation. A lot of helpful information was provided for the stay and advice for the following day. The room is very large and the grounds were clean and spacious. I would recommend this hotel.

They have a separate room that live streams the Boot Camp graduation. There weren’t enough tickets for all of us to go to the graduation so we really were excited about that.
