The staff was so friendly, helpful and went above expectations while we were there for our son’s graduation. They made sure we had everything we needed and took great care of us. The rooms are cleaned daily and that doesn’t happen at all hotels! The breakfast was great. The hotel was close to the airport, MCRD, beaches and restaurants.

Wonderful
We were on a couples' vacation. The hotel is very clean and modern. Excellent staff-very friendly. Mike at the Front Desk was very helpful and Lydia make sure we were good every morning. The free breakfast was amazing-plenty of selections. There was ample free parking. Hotel is quiet and close enough to everything. We will surely stay here again.

Ants in our room, no AC in hallways so they smelled bad and were very hot. Gap around doors very wide letting in light and noise. A drug overdose in the elevator. Staff were amazing. Owner should invest in property upkeep.

The stay at the inn was really nice, they have free parking and breakfast compared to the other inns and hotels in the same area. However, this area is unsafe to walk around, me and my partner were followed after a concert walking back to the inn on Hancock St, luckily we were able to run to different and bigger groups of people. Our stay at the inn was great but unfortunately the area is not.

The staff is wonderful and the rooms have been very nicely updated. My kids love the breakfast, sitting is limmited but we were eating early enough that is was not an issue for us. The hotel is in a less desirable are. We never felt unsafe as we were not out super late and they do have really good security at tge hotel. But zi definately would not go out for a stroll in the area.

The room was clean,nice and quiet. The Breakfast was very good with lots of choices. One person in the desk staff ruined this review for all the others. I asked Yazmin if we could have an extra 30 minutes for checkout because we were waiting for a phone call from a medical facility because i was having difficulties from Covid symptoms. She said NO because i was not a member. Yazmin ruined an otherwise good review
