A bed to sleep in.
It was a clean bed to sleep in. And a shower.
That’s about it. Wasn’t even hot coffee in the lobby in the morning.

Nice, helpful staff, inexpensive and not far from downtown. On the downside - no elevator, vending machines only take $1 bills and no other amenities.

I loved how close this was to the military base! The staff was super friendly and our room was clean. The only parts I didn’t like were the fact that our refrigerator didn’t work at first (maintenance came and fixed it later that day) and the toilet didn’t work well. Overall great stay!

We were a family of 4 visiting for our son’s graduation from boot camp. I found the employees very pleasant and the building very clean. I’d highly recommend this place to families of graduating sailors.
