Super 8 Waukegan I 94 N Il

This hotel was the most inexpensive I could find in the area, and I got what I paid for. We complained to the desk clerk that there was mold on the wall in the shower and behind the toilet and there was gunk built up in the corners of the bathroom. The room had a funky smell to it, and the beds felt like laying directly on metal springs. They promptly provided another room, which was cleaner, but the beds were smaller. The pillows were barely pillows. Whatever cleaning fluid they used in the lobby and rooms smelled like urine. The blankets were scratchy and akin to sandpaper lined felt. It was interesting to note the wood bars that you could set in the window on the first floor for added security. The neighborhood isn't great, but it's also not where I'd be afraid to step outside at night. I certainly did lock my doors. The key cards to the room were demagnetized a couple of times... more than I've had to deal with at any other hotel. Breakfast each morning was fresh doughnuts, english muffins, coffee, orange and apple juice. The walls were thin, but the guests were thankfully calm. The hotel is popular for parents and family in town for boot camp graduates of Great Lakes Naval Training Center. It was not a BAD hotel... but it certainly wasn't four stars. The staff was pleasant. It was just a place to crash after running around all day.

Very dirty, smelled bad. Price was cheap, but don't recommend at all.
