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.
