Thought we might start some sort of discussion area for Great Lakes Lodging to help you plan your trip to PIR.
Try this link for several reviews of some area hotels:

My son graduates Jan. 14th, 2010. I looked at lots of sites (don't sleep well since my son left). It looks like Waukegan has the nicest hotels...but not cheap, even by my California standards. Waukegan is a small drive but it is supposed to be a very nice area...by small I mean under 10 miles. I was warned repeatidly about places near the base due to the neighborhoods, though it probably depends on your personal standards. We are coming from California and with the economy and my wife losing her job multiple times in recent years here in the bad economy land of CA (With respect to Michigan) we were looking for a deal. We took the advise of a recruiter and booked a room at the Navy Lodge which is apparantely 1 mile from the main entrance amongst Navy housing. So I can't comment on the conditions of the hotel yet, but you know it will be a safe area and clean. Our room was only $65 with a kitchenette and no taxes, Taxes are high...so no taxes is important. Hope this helps. Oh...by the way my reservation is in my son's name because I am non military. I believe only active or retired military can take advantage of this housing. But I told them my son was there for boot camp and there was no problem.
