Great hotel in the suburbs. Close to Six Flags and not too far away from transportation into the city. Good breakfast options and close to other restaurants. Hot tub wasn't the best.

Our stay was great. The hotel is surrounded by many different food places. Bowling alley right next door. A Walmart 3 minutes away. It is located in a very convenient area for all your needs. The breakfast was good different options and was constantly being changed out for fresher food. When it came to check out day that's where the only issue we had came into play. My partner had left the room with a key to go grab a luggage cart an upon returning to the room the key wasn't working. My partner left out the room at 11am check out was at 12noon luckily I was still in the room otherwise we would've been out of luck and had to go back down stairs to gain access. If check out is at 12noon the key card should stay active til 12. If it isn't they should let people know at check-in so people know.

Various parts of building in need of repair, dirty windows, hallway walls and elevators. Hot tub smelled strange and was cloudy. Gum on floor around pool. Our room was not very clean. Coffee table had food and sticky spots. Cobwebs and hair in bathroom. Boogers wiped on walls. The fold out couch bed was absolute garbage, no one was able to sleep on it. Hole in comforter. There was dirt/sand in bed. Room was nice size, beds comfy, breakfast was decent. It was nice we could watch navy graduation in the dining room area. We were told by lady at the front desk that check out time was noon. Went to our room to get our things at 10:25am and our key cards no longer worked. Housekeeping was nice enough to let us in, and told us rooms are locked afted 10:30.

Stayed for boot camp graduation. 10 mins away from command. Easy to get around. Close to restaurants, stores and six flags. Offers great breakfast, clean, has a little vending area with a variety of items. Has iron board & hair dryer in room. Beds comfortable. Only issue pillows not great, but not really super bad either.
