This older building shows the positive effects of remodeling. The carpet is a bit worn, but no signs of rips or tears. The vending and ice machine was really a hike. Would've been nice to have two on our floor. The step going from the first floor to the outside was larger than a normal step which could be a hazard. This was at one end of the building that we used. The full size beds were not the most comfortable. Very few parking spots in front. A little hike to park in back of building, especially upon check in. Rounded tub was unnerving because if your feet get onto the sides it can throw you off balance. Stay right in the center and your good. Nice front desk staff.

I loved how close this was to the military base! The staff was super friendly and our room was clean. The only parts I didn’t like were the fact that our refrigerator didn’t work at first (maintenance came and fixed it later that day) and the toilet didn’t work well. Overall great stay!

People coming in at all times of the night were very inconsiderate to the rest of the guess, and the walls were very thin from a family reunion to a 10 year old boy wanting his way

We were a family of 4 visiting for our son’s graduation from boot camp. I found the employees very pleasant and the building very clean. I’d highly recommend this place to families of graduating sailors.
