“Howard Johnson By Wyndham Waukegan Great Lakes has its drawbacks, as I see it. Its location near the Naval Base, restaurants, and shopping is undeniably convenient; still, reports of unsavory characters and concerns about room security give me pause. While some have had positive experiences, I'd advise caution.”
