We had a great experience here. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We stayed here for my son's Navy boot camp graduation, it is very close to the base. They went above and beyond to help me when my son left his Nintendo switch at the hotel to help drop it off at a shipping place and send it back to us. I really appreciate that they were so honest and helpful.

We stayed here for our son’s Navy graduation. They offer free shuttle to and from graduation (recommended after seeing the line of traffic waiting to get in) Hot breakfast daily , graduation day they served at 6 am to accommodate families Loved that. The only thing we didn’t like was when we asked about a discount do to being there for graduation the lady said oh yes.. she then preceded typing and “claimed to have giving discount” but we ended up paying the same amount that it was prior to her giving “discount” so if you don’t offer that just say that don’t LIE!
