For my first time in Waukegan, this was a great place to stay. It's close to an Enterprise rent a car, great service all around in this area. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. Duncan donuts on the corner. Great place to stay. Quiet and peaceful.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was in poor condition, very outdated. Didn't seem very clean. My door had to be forced to shut all the way. When I came back from my show in the middle of the night the clerk was nowhere to be found and I had had my wallet stolen, which had my room key, so I was stranded in the lobby for a good hour. Every Motel 6 I've been to in the last year has been deplorable. Don't come here unless you have to.

So it was clean enough and bed was comfortable. Could have had a few more pillows. There were only 3. Just was noisy could hear music blaring all night outside. So a few times we woke up from that. Area also seems a bit shady definitely would make sure to be cautious going to and from your car. Staff were ok. Check in and out was easy.

It’s a Average cheap motel. But I didn’t like how our key card was always deactivated and we would have to go to get it reactivated. And the place is a little dated.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Book your stay elsewhere! When we checked in the ceiling in the lobby was falling down, there was nothing welcoming at all about this lobby. I was weary about staying at this point, we went ahead and got checked in. When we opened the door to the room my heart dropped, this trip was to see my son graduate from boot camp and have his overnight liberty, the thought of having my family stay here brought me to tears. We ended up getting a refund and staying at another hotel.

Pillows were too small and there were only two per bed. Floors need work and the outside had people just standing between buildings. Not the best but not the worst either.
