Hotel with shuttle to PIR?
Hello!
My son, Ben will hopefully be graduating Oct. 6. I've heard that some hotels offer a shuttle to and from the PIR on graduation day. Does anyone know which ones?
Thanks! So glad to have found this site!!!!

There are so many hotels it would be impossible to list them here. You need to ask at the hotel when you call, or look them up and see if it is posted on their website.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Suites in Waukegan. They have a shuttle service and serve breakfast at 0600 that morning.

We are staying here in Sept for PIR. We will have a rental car but heard taking a shuttle will have less waiting time to get onto the base?

Hi - have you stayed there yet? Have you been to the PIR?
Thank you

We'll be staying at the Spring Hill Suites by Marriott. I just read that they have shuttle service to the naval graduation.

A shuttle would be great for the day of PIR. I called LaQinta and they do not have one.

Hi there! My son does too! :-)
I know if you use Sarge's services from the airport, he offers a ride to the ceremony too. I do not know if the hotels offer a shuttle. Which hotel are you staying at?
