UPDATE: the managers reached out to me after this review and said they appreciated the input and would strive to make things better for future guests. I appreciate their follow up!
I should start off by saying that the front desk staff were very kind! Otherwise, just a “fair” experience.
We stayed here because we thought it would be a good option while we were visiting from out of state. For the price, we could have stayed off base at a regular hotel for just a good price and better value. In our room, the bathtub didn’t drain well (filled up during a shower), the air condition didn’t work so they had a unit hooked up to the window, this made it so the blinds didn’t close so there was a gap where people outside could see in. The tv signal was constantly glitching. We had the room reserved for two nights but we canceled the second night.
It wasn’t terrible, but if you have the option, I would suggest shopping around and see what else is available

First day had no elevators so 4th floor wasnt the best. They got fixed after a day and half. By my 3rd day my hot water stopped working so had to switch rooms but front desk was helpful with that and got a larger room to replace it. Breakfast was free and parking too, although lot usually was full by 7 so back up lot is needed
