The room was clean and comfortable, it was a good value. The hallways could use some improvement. The continental breakfast had a good selection and was served early in the morning, which was perfect for me as I had to leave early. Staff was very polite and helpful. Overall, I had nice and comfortable stay. Would stay there again.
Nice staff. Good room. Pillows on couch need replacing (a bit flat). Generally very nice and affordable. Great location and amenities, especially if you have a bootcamp graduate. Wasn't able to take advantage of free breakfast, but that was a nice option. I would definitely stay again.
I recommend this property. The staff was really nice. The room was very spacious. It had good water pressure. The room had all the amenities. My daughter and I truly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect.
The rooms were extremely nice and spacious making me feel like a home away from home. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I will definitely use the same hotel for future stays
Everything was amazing! I was only sad that the hot tub was out of order. The building was immaculate, the area was quiet, the staff was super nice and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!
We stayed here while in town for my son's Navy graduation, and we had a great experience. The hotel was very clean, our room was spotless, and the bed was comfortable with terrific pillows. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They even had snacks available for purchase, which was really convenient. Keep in mind that some rooms are closer to the road and if you are not used to traffic the noise, it can be somewhat unexpected- ear plugs for sleeping were a big help.
Overall if you are looking for somewhere to stay close to the base this place was spot on.
The staff were friendly. I love the size of the room and the kitchenette for the price of the stay! Additionally, the included breakfast was probably the best I’ve ever had at a hotel, with delicious hot items, a soda and juice machine, and several selections to pick from with multiple toppings for your oatmeal, yogurt or waffles/pancakes. They even had sugar free syrup and a delicious coffee and hot chocolate bar throughout the day. The hotel room was stocked with dispensable soap, shampoo and conditioner and dish washing soap, paper towels etc. This was our second stay here and we will definitely stay here again when we are in the area.
We had a very clean room, the service was great, and the breakfast was good as well . We didn’t really use the pool although it was available . They also have a hot tub but it wasn’t working during the time I was there . Overall I enjoyed it, I would definitely go back

We had to go to the front desk for a blanket because there was nothing for the sofa bed. Room was clean. Breakfast was good.
I feel like some of these reviews must be before they did some updating. My room was very nice, updated, and clean. We enjoyed our stay!

The staff was really helpful and pleasant. The property and exterior building looks good and the breakfast was nice. The suites are spacious with full kitchen. The only issue are the suites could use some updating as the interior hallways and elevator too. We had some issue with gnats, but not sure if thats normal for the area. The gym is OK with minimal equipment. Another plus is animals are allowed and they have a small store with beverages and snacks to purchase.
