What guests think

Sleep Inn near Great Lakes Naval Base draws many Navy families for its convenient location and simple, budget stay, with frequent praise for friendly staff and value, but feedback varies on cleanliness, maintenance, and overall condition.

Many reviews highlight easy access to the RTC, with a paid shuttle for graduation days and small touches like early breakfast hours or Navy-themed decor. Rooms are basic and sometimes small or dated, with occasional noise, weak shower pressure, and limited in-room amenities like no microwave. Cleanliness is inconsistent, with multiple reports of odors, dirty bathrooms, and pests such as ants, roaches, and occasional bed bugs, while housekeeping is by request. Expect a simple, base-focused stay; the surrounding area feels industrial with limited dining, so plan on driving.

This is a solid hotel for the room rates. It is very close to the naval base and convenient for attending boot camp graduation. The staff was very nice. I enjoyed the snacks that were available daily. Plus there was a microwave in the lobby and paper goods, plastic ware. Easy access to Dunkin Donuts, McDonald’s and Subway. Also a convenience store nearby.

I went to my son celebration at the Navy recruit in Great Lakes. The drive from the hotel to the location was less than10 minutes, with out the ceremony traffic. This hotel is very peaceful with plenty parking. I enjoyed and would recommend this hotel to families that will be attending their child's Navy Ceremony.

This hotel was decent, it was mostly clean, the carpets could definitely use a good cleaning as our floors were stained and sticky. There were also some questionable stains on the bathroom walls. The website listed an indoor pool but when we got there, there was no pool or signage for the pool to see. But overall if you are looking for a no frills hotel, this is a decent place

We stayed on 7/26/25. Check in was great! Got to our room, left about 1/2 hr later to go to a concert. Got back around 11:30pm, left at 11:45pm. There was a live cockroach running around in the bathroom. Took a picture, went to the front desk. No one was there. We turned in our room key and got out of there. Called the next day on Sunday to speak with a manager. He wasn't in. Called again on Monday, no manager again and the front desk could not help me. This hotel has a bug problem, hopefully they try to take care of it, but getting ahold of someone that

I booked two rooms for my family last week. One of the rooms had a strong, unbearable odor that smelled like a rotten dead body. I immediately reported the issue to the front desk and asked to change rooms, but the staff refused. Instead of helping, they simply handed me an air freshener and told me to spray it myself. I checked out within ten minutes of checking in and requested a refund, but that was also denied. They still charged me $150 for a room I couldn’t even stay in. This was a terrible experience and completely unacceptable. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Basic cleanliness and customer service were completely lacking.

Front desk staff were never at the desk, you had to use the phone at the counter to have someone come to the desk. They were rather impersonal and unwelcoming. Room had an unpleasant (mildew?) smell, perhaps from the shower curtain. TV image was distorted, not really watchable. Just a strange place with an unfriendly and strange vibe. On the positive side: it was pretty cheap, and the room itself wasn't bad except for the odor and TV.

The second I walked into our room I noticed my sheets were dirty. When I spoke to front desk regarding the situation and showing her the photos she just handed me a new set of sheets and pillow cases. Our hairdryer didn't work nor the light above the shower. I guess I at least expected an apology for the state of our room or the opportunity to correct it. It was definitely disappointing and I felt that the hospitality was lacking. We drove 6 hours for my brother's naval graduation and I at least expected to have a clean room to sleep in

It was a little pricey for a hotel with little accommodations. The room was clean but humid. The A/C unit was extremely loud! I stood for three nights and didn’t receive any fresh towels. Perhaps the stay wasn’t long enough for service. I gave it 3 stars because it was a decent hotel.

My hotel review I had to go Karen on these folks bru I paid $236 for my stay here, but somehow my card was also hit with an extra $122 charge and another $113 charge. When I called to ask about it, instead of helping, the front desk lady decided rudeness was the policy of the day. Apparently, hospitality isn’t included in the price. For nearly $500 total, I expected at least basic courtesy, but I guess that costs extra too. If you enjoy surprise charges and staff who act like answering your questions is ruining their afternoon, this is the hotel for you. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and stay literally anywhere else. please train your staff that answering the phone isn’t a personal inconvenience. And maybe fix your billing system so that I don’t have to play “Guess That Charge” after checkout. A smile and a correct receipt aren’t luxury amenities, they’re the bare minimum. The hotel lady really didn’t have to be rude. I tried to ask calmly about the random extra charges, but her attitude made me feel like I had no choice but to try to get her fired since she’s no help.

I had to cancel my stay due to change in plans that were out of my control. The stay was cancelled days in advance and Expedia contacted the Sleep Inn near Great Lakes on my behalf to ask for a refund. Although it was cancelled days in advance the hotel refused to provide a refund. Be wary of these people as they are crooks and will steal your money.
