This was a great experience overall. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I didn't give it 5 stars because the breakfast options didn't give none pork eaters an option, and no hot chocolate :). I would definitely return and recommend it.

Great hotel for Navy Graduation

Staff was amazing and very knowledgeable of the area. Felt very welcoming the second I stepped into the building. Breakfast was great. Hotel is located at a very convenient location. Supermarket, 2 dollar stores and restaurants just steps away. Naval base only a 18 minute drive. Couldn’t have been happier with this choice in North Chicago.

I visit my son and his family every so often. They live in an adjacent town. This motel (Holiday Inn Express )in Zion is the cleanest and most well run facility in the area. Friendly staff and location to family make it work for me. I’ve stayed here a few times already and it remains a top notch motel.
