Navy Graduation stay
The hotel was very big with friendly staffing for the most part. Their breakfast service was amazing, best we’ve had. Only issue we had with the room was the amount of gnats that were coming out of the bathroom sink and the state of the floors when we first arrived. Overall, for the price and quality, it was a good deal. We booked for a studio and it was perfect for our little family.
