Hotel Red Roof Inn Gurnee - Waukegan (Waukegan, USA)

The staff at this Red Roof Inn location are consistently helpful, doing all they can to assist new arrivals. Many guests report being offered local directions and travel tips, while those visiting the nearby naval base have commented that the front desk team even go so far as to print visitor passes for those entering the site. This, of course, is much appreciated and goes a long way to enhance the profile of this basic accommodation.

In addition to being within walking distance of the Naval Station Great Lakes, many found that this property was well-situated for visiting a number of local area attractions, including Six Flags amusement park and downtown Waukegan.

Given the above points – especially its location – most commented that this Red Roof Inn represented excellent value for money.

They couldn’t put their finger on what it was exactly, but many were of the view that there was something a pedestrian about this property. Most mentioned that while it provided a decent stay, there was a certain sparkle lacking – especially in terms of appearance and amenities – that made this hotel feel drab.

Containing just three old pieces of exercise equipment, most found that this hotel’s ‘fitness room’ was not worthy of the name. Inside the dated rooms, guests noted that the TVs were very limited in terms of the channels on offer. Broken heaters were also a problem.

There was confusion regarding breakfast here. Until recently, it appears that this property did offer a continental selection, but this is now apparently no longer an option. However, those who booked via third-party sites reported that this meal was still being touted as an add-on.
