It was a nice place, no major changes since our last stay a few years back. They've removed individual k-cup coffee pots in the rooms but coffee is available in the lobby.
FYI-This place is pricey if you are bringing pets, you have a non-refundable pet deposit and nightly fee per pet.

We got this hotel for my in-laws thinking it would be ideal - not realizing that this IHG was a VOQ or visiting officers quarters, a temporary housing place for single and unaccompanied married officers arriving for duty. It has been renovated. It has some satisfactory and less than satisfactory attributes.
At first appearance, it seems like a nice hotel hidden within the trees and foliage. Location is highly convenient. The outer appearance and entrance areas of the hotel are clean and inviting. The basement where breakfast is served has large panorama windows and is well lit. Breakfast was very satisfactory for our in-laws. The usual free breakfast IHG provides. These were the satisfactory attributes of the hotel.
The unsatisfactory attributes of the hotel:
You can see signs of the original VOQ building despite renovations done to make it a hotel. There was a stained crack wall area by the hotel room.
One of the elevator doors was out of order.
The hotel room was so so yet looked satisfactory. No problems.
Overall, we were not highly satisfied with this hotel. We decided that we would book our in laws in the other hotel on base.

Stayed here for 58 nights for the FA57 course, firstly, the staff go above and beyond, they host a social dinner weekly; work hard to provide a good breakfast, and answer maintenance requests immediately. The main drawback is the building, it’s old, it leaks, it’s humid, and the rooms aren’t super well insulated so you can hear your neighbors. My experience overall was fine, as my neighbors were respectful most of the time and quiet. If you’re an FA57, this is conveniently located to the schoolhouse. There’s a huge laundry room with probably 10 washers and 10 dryers, and the gym is really nicely setup, and generally empty. No pool on the property. House keeping is twice a week and does fantastic. The kitchenette is stocked decently and useful. There are gaps between the doors and hallway which let a lot of light in, I’d use a towel at the bottom to block the hallway lights, I wish they dimmed them at night. I’ve heard plenty of ACs and general plumbing issues from classmates, though never experienced any personally, like I said, it’s a very old building and needs a lot of love. Very content with the accommodations for the summer. The internet does pretty well, they offer an HDMI for the TV. Full size refrigerator, stove top, microwave, no oven. Bed is comfortable, pillows are pretty bad (as most hotels are), I brought my own and recommend you do for long stays.
