Sleep Inn near Great Lakes Naval Base

Super comfortable, basic but great stay all the way through. We came for a Naval graduation and had to book a stay last minute and would definitely recommend if you’re just staying for a few nights.

Great for 1 night maybe 2 nights max. If you're a light sleeper, just bring ear plugs and you'll be fine (this should just be a standard practice when staying anywhere over night). There is some utility noise (water/plumbing). Bed was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast included cereal, fruits and make your own waffles. There was no microwave in our room, just a fridge/freezer combo.

Sleep Inn is known for being basic. It has a stand-up shower only, no comfy chair, no microwave, no extra end tables. However, it appears to be recently renovated, and everything is clean and up-to-date. Bed was VERY comfortable. We stayed for three days, so we really started wishing for a room with furniture besides a swivel chair.

Breakfast is two waffle makers, cold cereal, yogurt, granola bars, fruit, and packaged muffins. No eggs or breakfast meats. McDonald's and Dunkin' are adjacent to the property.

Go to the Silo for pizza!

Our trip was connected to the Naval training base, so for that it was absolutely a perfect location. We would recommend the hotel and would likely stay again.

FYI, the Navy base has a parking garage right beside the graduation hall. The Navy discourages parking on base, but it was surprisingly easy to do. Just present your tickets, IDs, and vehicle info. Just leave a little extra time in case you are chosen for a random vehicle search.
