Red Roof Inn Gurnee - Waukegan

Red Roof Inn Gurnee - Waukegan

10/10 Excellent
"Overall, excellent stay! Mr.W was very accommodating after a long, taxing trip. It was safe & friendly with a good location. We were there for our son’s graduation from Navy basic training. Rooms were clean & comfortable & the beds were comfortable as well. The only thing that could be improved was that I noticed trash accumulated outside the doors but not a deal breaker. I would check here first if I ever travel to Waukegan. Thank you!"

"This property has very efficient employees. They're all professional and friendly. The rooms are clean and it is convenient to the Great Lakes Naval base. The price was fantastic. The only problem is the breakfast. They only offer of muffins and yogurt along with juice, coffee, and tea, but the muffins were good. They were top-tier Otis Spunkmeyer."

"I had a very comfortable stay. Clean rooms, helpful staff, breakfast was on point, many selections to choose from, and most of all, close to the naval base and plenty of places to eat. Walmart right across the street for your essentials and a casino literally next door. Close to the freeway, easy to find, felt safe, planet fitness right across the street. If I comeback for a navy boot camp graduation, definitely this is where I’m gonna stay."
