I stayed at this hotel in October 2025 and got woken up to people fighting and yelling at 1 am they were also slamming doors and being very loud for an hour. Also the battery in the fire alarm went off a couple times and beeped very loud. On the positive side it was very easy to check in when I walked in my room it was very clean but I wish the bathroom was bigger it was very small and inconvenient. I don’t think I would like to stay here again because of how loud it is and nobody did anything about it.

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!
