Six Flags Great America, Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, and Genesee Theater are near the military installation and will round out your day nicely.

8.2/10 Very Good! (2,365 reviews)
The hotel is nice. Not luxurious, not fully equipped, but well located. It is definitely understaffed since the same person handles the front office and the breakfast/drinks in the morning, and the front office and bar in the evening. But they manage well and are extremely nice. Shoutout to Marina who was very helpful.
It is rather clean, though we had to request our room to be cleaned on the 2nd day as they hadn’t done it on the first day.
The breakfast options are not great, only 5-6 options are available and they’re all pastries. They have some fruits as well. Overall the stay was good but I wouldn’t go back.
