These are not hotels. These are motels. Room service sucks. They don’t come clean the rooms when they are supposed to. The rooms have horrible smells and the showers are dirty. Looks like they just paint over the dirt on the walls.

Clean rooms that were in good shape. Very quiet. Nothing special but was good for visiting the base. It is located within the base so you must register as a visitor. If arriving late, you must enter through specific gate near the McDonalds. Overall a good stay and great value - would recommend.

We stayed here when we moved here around 5 years ago and then again this week as we move away. The upgrade from then to now is amazing. I cannot get over how much nicer the rooms are, & the pool is well kept. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. It’s so close to the commissary & px. The park and catfish cover are right across the street behind Dunkin! Perfect area for sure.

Outstanding customer service! The staff, in particular Rebekah, was extremely accommodating with the needs of our large group. Based upon the service alone, our stay was great.
