Definitely an older property but the friendliness of the staff and the support to the new Navy sailors was top notch. Beds are definitely smaller than a queen but it was cold enough to enjoy a snuggle with the wife. Distance to and from the Navy graduation was perfect.

The cleaning fumes were horrible! Caused us to have lung reactions and tightness. No lights to enter the room. Pitch black and had to find a light switch on the opposite side of the room! We only stayed for 15 mins as our lung reaction to the fumes were overwhelming. The area was awful. Not a safe area.
