I attended my son's PIR last Sept 21, 2013, a very memorable date that is now forever tattooed in my heart together with the journey starting in the UK, the people I met along the journey as a Navy Mom-to-be and the places I have been to or set my foot on.

Stayed at the Navy Lodge to attend my nephew's graduation from Great Lakes. The location is the best hands down, just a couple of minutes from the graduation gate on Ohio Ave.I gave this a five circle because I think it is the best it can be for what it is. It's not a resort but the rooms were spacious... More

Just came back from Great Lakes Navy Lodge. Went for my Sailors PIR and I found it was the perfect place to stay! The rooms have been refurbished with new beds, carpets and painted. There's what they call a full kitchen, but I call it a kitchenette. Over all for $71 a night with no taxes the room was super... More

Very clean and comfortable. Staff were great! Mario who works the front desk is very friendly, professional and made our trip much less stressful. Bathrooms were very clean. Even housekeeping were always smiling. Only downfall is no breakfast but Dunkin Donuts is only a mile away! well worth it!

With a very positive attitude. With the hotel full, it was very quiet. We were not in one of the newly renovated rooms, but it was very clean. Would stay... More

Had a wonderful trip to Chicago and stayed at the Great Lakes Navy Lodge, because our Grandson graduated boot camp. It's right up the street from the "Recruit Training Command" where graduation takes place. All the rooms are being re-newed and just couldn't have been better. For $65! And for a NEW room? Can't be beat. And after graduation you... More

We stayed here for our son's graduation on 10/5/2012. The hotel was undergoing some renovations, but none had been done to our room yet. The room was clean. The size of the fridge was more than enough for our purposes. The beds were very comfortable. The front desk was very helpful with information about the surrounding area and PIR. The... More

A great location when you are in Great Lakes for a Navy graduation. You will be minutes from the base and have quick and easy access to your Sailor! The lodge is a nice, clean, comfortable place. There are not many amenities ( no pool, or on location restaurants) but they do provide a bag breakfast to go that you... More
