The staff was courteous. The room was clean with comfortable beds, nice sized refrigerator and microwave. I especially appreciated the fact that there was no carpet in the room. Minimal noise from hallway. Shuttle was available for transport to naval base for graduation but we drove ourselves. Needed to get breakfast before we arrived on base. Overall a nice stay.
