Our Son had just graduated from Navy Basic Training
Our son had graduated from Great Lakes Navy Base that day. We were able to meet him at teh USO on Saturdaay morning before his flight, but he was getting there at 2:30 am. I search for hotels around the airport. The cost differences were minimal and we would be right at terminal 2 to meet him without having to drive and park. The service was outstanding, everyone was polite and friendly. The room was quite even though when we looked out the window directly at airplanes taking off and landing. But key was we just walked out the door and into the airport. This was great choice for us because we were able to spend more time with our son before his flight.
