    Overall this hotel was pretty nice. The first day the hot tub was not hot, but told the guy up front and it was fixed eventually. The pool was a little cold, but nice. Breakfast was hot, with pancakes, eggs, sausage, potato's, & more. The suit we stayed in had a door so you have privacy from the living room which was nice. About 25-30 mins from six flags.

    A great stay at Holiday Inn Express, Waukegan. Service was amazing thanks to Anne and Lola going above and beyond the call of duty. If you're coming for a Navy Graduation you will not be disappointed with this location. Close to restuarants, stores etc and the Naval base. Free shuttle too. Thank you HI Express
