PIR and Close to RTC! PERFECT STAY!

If you’re going to Chi for PIR, this is a GREAT location! I’m from Florida and was SHOCKED at how nice everyone was everywhere we went. The hotel is clean and 12 minutes from RTC. Surrounded by many shops, restaurants, Walmart, dollar tree, and Sarges Dinner location. Safe, great breakfast, steaming of the graduation in the dining room for those that don’t have a ticket, a hot dog social for families after the graduation when you take your Sailor to the room to rest/change to Civies. Can’t say enough! Don’t hesitate, just BOOK and grab your door decor at the dollar tree down the block! Congrats!
