5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

My husband, two kids and I chose this hotel because of its proximity to Lake Forest and the fact that it's only a 40 minute train ride into Chicago. The property and rooms are spotless, the beds are super comfy and adjustable. The real stars, however, are the staff! Toni, the front desk manager, not only checked my husband and... More

Our family went to see our daughter graduate Navy Boot Camp. We looked at other hotels recommended by the Navy, but they were over $100 a night for the nicer rated hotels. I looked through the Hilton web sight and found this Garden Inn about 10 miles from the Great Lakes Naval Station, as well as 10 miles from the... More

My husband and I stayed one night here and were very pleased. The property is well maintained, and the staff is great. The lady at the front desk was cheerful and welcoming, and the room was emaculate. Breakfast is plentiful and although the continental fare was perfectly sufficient, we had the made to order breakfast which came with our gold... More

The Hilton Garden Inn Lake Forest Mettawa is only 10 min drive to Great Lakes,IL Naval Graduation. The Navy provides some recommendations but those hotels are not necessarily in a nice area and are older. This hotel is in a nice area and it is conveniently off the exit and close 10 min drive to a mall and restaurants. They... More

I've stayed at this hotel twice now on business and it is extremely good value and pleasant. The lobby is welcoming and the bar restaurant area is very comfortably. Half of the lobby is set aside as a casual seating area with a fireplace--part of the Garden Inn look. The breakfast was plentiful--hot, cold, you name it. The bar was... More

stay here for work now and again and the hotel always does the job.

Had a little glitch getting checked in. Seems we booked through Expedia (by accident) and was promised an adjoining room. When we got there they knew nothing about it.
