The value for the money staying at the Navy Lodge is impressive. There is nothing particularly impressive about this location other than it is convenient to the RTC Navy base. I have not ever had a bad stay, so I suggest you save your money and use this location.

They are remodeling but it was very clean and quiet. They provide a continental type breakfast and have breakfast on the go for this leaving early for PIR. The location is perfect for PIR. My only complaint is they overbook and if you check in late they may or may not have your room.

The same CC that was used to book my rental car on and same CC that I got a confirmation email from this hotel on. I also had called three days prior to inform them that I would be... More

I really, really wanted to write a great review of the Navy lodge. It's a great place. But I have to be honest - I just had a bad time. I was there on a short business trip and needed uninterrupted use of the Internet (much of my work is stored online), and unfortunately, perhaps due to the construction, I... More

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. Booking a hotel to stay for 3 nights... More

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!
