Where You’ll Be Staying
Planning a stay in Waukegan? Get to know the city and explore the best areas to stay.
Discover what each area has to offer and find a hotel in Waukegan that suits your trip, budget, and plans.
The hotel is located in a suburban commercial district between Waukegan and Gurnee. Restaurants, shops and business parks are spread across the surrounding roads, while most attractions require a car.
Naval Station Great Lakes lies to the southeast, and the entertainment and shopping districts of Gurnee sit to the west. Downtown Waukegan and the Lake Michigan waterfront offer a more local atmosphere than the busy commercial corridors around the hotel.
Naval Station Great Lakes
Naval Station Great Lakes is approximately four and a half miles from the hotel. Families attending graduation ceremonies should allow time for security checks, event traffic and early arrival requirements.
Six Flags Great America
Six Flags Great America is roughly four miles away in Gurnee. The park includes roller coasters, family rides and seasonal events, making the hotel a practical base for amusement-park weekends.
Gurnee Mills
Gurnee Mills is approximately five miles from the property. The large indoor shopping center contains outlet stores, restaurants and entertainment, which is useful when northern Illinois weather becomes uncooperative.
Waukegan Harbor
Waukegan Harbor provides marina access, fishing areas and views across Lake Michigan. The waterfront offers a quieter change of pace from the commercial roads farther inland.
Genesee Theatre
The Genesee Theatre occupies a restored historic building in downtown Waukegan. Its schedule includes concerts, comedy and touring performances, adding an evening option beyond restaurants and shopping.
What to Expect Around Here
The surrounding area is spread out, commercial and easiest to navigate by car. It works especially well for Navy visits, regional business travel and trips combining Waukegan with Gurnee. The location is practical rather than scenic, but it keeps the main Lake County destinations close enough to avoid spending half the day in traffic.
Check current room availability at Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Waukegan/Gurnee and keep the Lake County itinerary simple.
