The property is in a good spot because of its proximity to Walmart and other restaurants. If you are there for a Navy graduation, the base is less than a 15-minute drive (if you are going to the graduation, make sure you get there before 7 a.m., or you will not have the best seats). The front desk and breakfast are awesome.

Great for family, pets and Navy Graduation
It was great. Especially with our pets. We went for Navy graduation over Thanksgiving and it was perfect. It’s a little dated but was very clean which is the most important.

I liked it a lot. The reason we chose this specific location was due to the close proximity to the naval station, but all in all it was pretty good my only complaint was that the couche had a few stains and the windows hadn’t been dusted in a while

This property is conveniently located near the Naval Base/Cadet, perfect for traveling to the graduation & nearby facilities (NEX Mall Area) the Property itself is basic, no frills or design touches like artwork, lamps, etc. It was clean but the furniture (nightstands, tables, chairs, sofa, kitchen cabinets, carpet, etc) are all outdated & show lots of signs of use. There were no soap dish, just 1 bar of hand soap for sink, 1 box of kleenex, 1 roll of opened toilet paper. I am used to there being a spare (esp TP). The main house is in close proximity, where apparently there is breakfast, coffee, tea, etc. I did not use any of those amenities.

Staff was always welcoming and super helpful. Room and property were clean and area felt safe. I think it’s wild that you have to pay nightly for open, unmonitored parking lot parking - I mean, where else is someone from out of town going to park? - but that is a corporate decision, not a staff decision, so I’m not going to knock them or the property itself. Overall a very pleasant stay, and I would highly recommend staying here. We were in for our son’s graduation from boot camp, and the location was super convenient to everything we needed.
