There are transient families and adults staying here. It was unexpected and unsettling. I was also charged a daily parking rate at check in and that was no advertised anywhere on the site or during booking. Minor repairs needed in the room and some of the security doors didn’t work around the building.

Upon arrival for my daughter’s 8th birthday we found the pool occupied with a wild adult party, crowds of people, gallons of alcohol glass bottles, smoking cannbis, loud explicit music! Hallways filled with what looked like a frat party. Didn’t feel safe enough to swim or let my daughter swim in fear of what she would be exposed to and or cutting her feet on broken liqour/beer bottles. Drove 4 hours to get here to hide in the room extremely uncomfortable trying to make the best of my kids birthday. Would not recommend if you have a family or children. Not family friendly. Unsafe.

I stayed in a 2 bedroom room with a little living room and kitchen. It was honestly great because each room had a bathroom and there was enough space for everyone, there were 7 of us including a baby. The breakfast was good, I wish it didn't end so early on Friday, at 8am, my whole family and I missed breakfast unfortunately. I think it should of ended at 9am instead. We were hoping on not having to spend money on breakfast. Staff was very nice and the property is very relaxing and feels safe and quiet. It is close to restaurants and some shopping and not far from the naval base. I definitely recommend staying here.

The stay in our 2 bedroom suite offered ample space for our 3 person family. The area was clean and provided a nice kitchen setup. The regular sized refrigerator was very useful. The furniture throughout the suite was was adequate but worn. The staff were always friendly and accommodating. The breakfast room provided scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon and pancakes as well as yogurt, oatmeal and bagels, etc. Unfortunately, the breakfast area only served for an hour, 7-8. The hot items were sometimes slow to be replenished. The exterior of the property was well maintained. The location is convenient to the Great Lakes training area, about a 10 minute drive. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Sonesta ES.

My family stayed there to be close to my Grandson's graduation from the Navy Bootcamp. It was close to the Naval base, stores, and the train.

Loved having the space for the whole family to gather after graduation on the Base. The towel policy was weird, especially when a room sleeps 6

The ONLY negative thing I can say is that the mattresses in the pull out beds need to be replaced. We used them in all three rooms and they were stained and flat. Otherwise I would highly recommend to families there for PIR graduation.
