Verified Reviews of Howard Johnson by Wyndham Waukegan Great Lakes

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Great location Friendly staff"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
I got one room for four nights. We were in town for my son's Navy graduation. I wish I got her name but there's a wonderful, blonde lady that checked us in. The housekeeper were great! Always made sure we had clean towels and beds were made up. If we were in the room still, they made sure to come back while we were away to clean. They offer a shuttle company to take us to and from the Navy graduation. The hotel is close to so much.
