I stay at this hotel a lot I always love it! The breakfast is great, the rooms are always so clean and it’s overall a great hotel to stay at! I wouldn’t stay in room 211 again though it’s right in front of the elevator so it was a bit loud this weekend and I couldn’t really rest and relax. But besides that I always love staying at this hotel!

Stayed here for 4 nights for my son's graduation from Navy bootcamp. Great location in proximity to the navy base, restaurants and stores. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast bar was great and the fresh brewed coffee being avail 24x7 was an added bonus. I would definitely stay here again.
