My stay was terrible. When we checked in, the room was dirty. There were dirty laundry (lingerie) from the prior guests, the toilet seat was broken, the garbage still had garbage in it, the bathroom walls were full of someone else's hair and the vent was disgusting!

When we arrived and went to bed, we found no blanket. When the wife went up to the front desk, she was made to show a picture of the missing blanket before they would give her a blanket. The floors are filthy. It was 10 minutes from our destination, Great Lakes Naval Station.
