About Sonesta Simply Suites Chicago Waukegan

An extended-stay setup with full kitchens, roomy work areas, and fewer reasons to live on takeaway food.

Sonesta Simply Suites Chicago Waukegan is an all-suite hotel on South Waukegan Road, five miles from Naval Station Great Lakes and within easy driving distance of Gurnee attractions. Studio and one-bedroom accommodations provide more space than a conventional hotel room, pairing queen-size bedding with a full kitchen, work area, complimentary Wi-Fi, and climate control. Shared amenities include an around-the-clock fitness center, on-site laundry, outdoor barbecue grills, a picnic area, a 24-hour store, business facilities, and paid self-parking. The property does not operate as a breakfast-included hotel, but each suite is equipped for preparing meals. Up to two pets are accepted under specific policies, while shopping, restaurants, Lake Michigan, Six Flags Great America, and local military facilities remain nearby.

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 at 1151 South Waukegan Road in a suburban commercial district west of central Waukegan. Restaurants, supermarkets, entertainment venues, and major roads are close, although the area is better explored by car than on foot. Naval Station Great Lakes, Lake Michigan, Gurnee, and the Illinois–Wisconsin state line are all within a manageable drive.

Nearby Attractions

  • Naval Station Great Lakes – The naval training base is about five miles away and regularly draws families attending graduation ceremonies and official events.
  • American Place Casino – A nearby gaming and entertainment venue with dining options, live events, and a location roughly two miles from the hotel.
  • Six Flags Great America – Gurnee’s major amusement park offers roller coasters, family rides, and seasonal events within a short drive.
  • Gurnee Mills – A large shopping and entertainment complex with outlet stores, restaurants, and indoor attractions.
  • Illinois Beach State Park – Lake Michigan shoreline, dunes, wetlands, beaches, and walking trails provide a quieter contrast to the surrounding commercial corridors.
  • Waukegan Harbor and Lakefront – The marina, beach, and waterfront paths offer open lake views east of downtown Waukegan.

What to Expect Around Here

This part of Waukegan is practical rather than picturesque, with broad roads, business parks, restaurants, and shopping spread across the area. A car makes daily travel considerably easier, while the location works particularly well for naval-base visits and longer assignments in northern Lake County.
