Howard Johnson by Wyndham Waukegan Great Lakes

Pleasant

Disappointing, especially for the price.

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Rough location, panhandlers and people hanging out in parking lot, no elevator, room smelled, motion-sensor light in main room turned on during night when just rolling over in bed, price too high for quality of room, no breakfast for high price of room.

Very good

Good

Liked: Kindliness of the room and the facility
Disliked: Breakfast was lame. They only had coffee, orange juice, apple juice, muffins and yogurt

The hotel hallway smelled like...

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: That is was right next to a dmv

Sucked, but seeing my son...

Liked: The property was convenient, especially for a Boot Camp graduation and other places around that area.
Disliked: I did not like it was advertised for continental breakfast, and there was none only a cup of yogurt and muffins the good healthy breakfast the beds were extremely cheap springy and very uncomfortable sleepless 3 night’s, beware if you have back issues because I had to see a chiropractor when I got back home. There was no elevator at all which stinks when it comes to people with bad knees and certain disabilities. the breakfast should be advertised as well that it’s not even really a breakfast it sucked and not healthy for people who have health issues. People book because your advertisement is misleading and that’s wrong!

Exceptional

Poor

The breakfast was a disappointment...

Liked: I liked the cleanliness of the room, and it looked newly remodeled in the bathroom. However, the door would not shut with yanking it hard.
Disliked: The breakfast was a huge disappointment. I was expecting a hot breakfast. Instead, it was pre-packaged goods like yogurt and muffins. Which is not ideal with two young kids who make messes. The fitness center was closed the whole time we were there, which was the only amenity. There was also no laundromat to wash your clothes. The walls are thin, you can hear everything, especially in the hallway when people have full on conversations. When it rains, the rain hits the back of a/c and it sounds horrible. I thought the a/c was broke for a second until I realized it was raining. Overall, it was ok. The breakfast was the most disappointing. It should be disclosed before booking because I would have found a hotel with hot breakfast instead.
