Disliked: Amenities
The hotel looks dated, but it was clean. Definitely convenient to the Navy RTC. Parking is free and always available. Gym was closed at the time we stayed there. Breakfast consisted of coffee, tea, yogurt and prepackaged muffins, so you need to go out to get more substantial food. Not much in the immediate area. Restaurants are a few miles away.

The location is good, very close to the Naval Station. They provide a shuttle bus in the morning on graduation day. There are many restaurants nearby. The staff are polite. The receptions are friendly, respectful, and very helpful with recommendations. The hotel feels safe, and I would definitely stay here again if I have the chance.

This was a nice and convenient stay, close to navy base for graduation. The rooms were really clean, found a few hairs on my pillow. Other than that it was good. Mattress was comfy and there was enough space for 3 of us. Bathroom sink was leaky and could use an update but if you’re looking for convenience and good pricing, this is for you.

Parking in front was inconvenient during DMV hours. A lot of noise could be heard from people in hallways going in and out of rooms or just talking. Overall, room was clean, house keeping was phenomenal, and staff was welcoming, polite, and professional.
