Top Waukegan Harbor Hotel Reviews

Best Western Executive Inn Kenosha/Pleasant Prairie

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a convenient location to a lot of shops and to my destination. It was clean and the staff was very helpful and courteous. The only reason I gave my stay four stars was the design of the bathroom. It was very cramped; the door almost hit the toilet and it wasn't easy to step into the bathtub/shower for lack of room."

Staybridge Suites Chicago - Glenview by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The older Asian gentleman who helps during breakfast is awesome! He makes it a point to interact with guests, he picks up our dirty plates, he joked around and played with my son's. The guy made the stay that much better. He deserves a raise! 😀"

The Inn on Sheridan

10/10 Excellent

Best Western Glenview -Chicagoland Inn and Suites

"Clean, good breakfast, reasonably priced and nice staff!"

Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Waukegan Gurnee

8/10 Good

"We stayed for 7 days and 6 nights for my stepdaughter graduation from the Navy. The only complaints I have was the mattress on the queen bed and the pull out sofa. The mattresses was very uncomfortable. I also would like to have seen a machine in the laundry room to give you change instead of having to go to the front office to get change. Other than that our stay was good great location close ( 10 mins from the Navy base)to a lot of restaurants, stores and some local attractions. The morning breakfast was good and the staff was friendly and helpful. I also liked that they televised the Navy graduation for guests that couldn’t attend."
