I stayed at the hotel to attend my son's boot camp graduation. The hotel check-in lady was lovely and told me she was a Navy parent and told me the best way to get to the graduation. The room was clean besides the two beers left in the refrigerator. The chairs and kitchen look like they are old and worn down but everything else was okay. Check out was easy.

Had a great stay. The service was top-notch, and the rooms were super comfy. Only downside? They were remodeling, so there was a bit of noise. Still, the staff made up for it, and I’d definitely stay again—can’t wait to see the upgrades!

The carpet was worn and stained. The curtains were stained. The furniture was worn and damaged. The fireplace only stays on for 10 minutes before it turns off and has to be turned back on. One of the bathroom fans is as loud as a truck engine.
