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.

Pros - booking and checking in was easy
The breakfast area was nice, breakfast
choices were reasonable and ample.
The hotel was comfortable, quiet and
clean. We were only there overnight
so did not use the pool or workout.
Close, uncomplicated drive from our
Family’s celebration area, grocery store
and several restaurants close by.
Cons - Didn't have a diagram of the hotel,
which most do, of where the
emergency exits, ice machines, etc
are located or information of local
restaurants.
Our Accessible room, even though it
was also for the hearing impaired,
we thought, should have had an ADA
toilet and hand rails in the bathroom
and it did not.
Lastly, only pork sausages and pork in
the gravy for breakfast.
I would stay again and specifically ask for an accessible room with high toilets.
