It served it's purpose for what we traveled for but I would not stay here again.
Pros:

The reason for traveling was for the Navy graduation. This hotel was close to the base. The restaurant Flanagans nearby was also good.

Cons:

Bed were hard. Bathroom was dirty. Property smelled like sewer water.

Pros:

Close to the location where my son's graduation will be held. Easy access to places to go.

Cons:

I believed that more proactive monitoring of the hallways (significant disturbance from other guest) and ensuring that in-room equipment is fully functional would greatly improved the guest experience. I hope the management find this feedback helpful for future improvements.

Pros:

Bedroom was nice, clean and comfortable bed.

Cons:

Breakfast socks. If you expected to get a good and decent breakfast. Consider going somewhere else for eat breakfast. There is a breakfast restaurant across the street. But it wasn't open when we went. McDonald's, and Subway next door. I will stay again for the price.

The distance from base was great but I would never stay here again nor advise anyone to stay here.
Pros:

The location was very close to the base. We went for the Navy graduation. We took the shuttle and was able to get there without having to be stuck in the graduation traffic.

Cons:

The pictures provided are deceiving. The mattress was horrible. Bath tub was stained. Towels were very rough and need to be thrown away. We paid $10 per person for the shuttle. Leaving the hotel the driver backed into someone else's vehicle. Not once did he ask if anyone was okay. We were squeezed into the van and it was very unsafe conditions. He drove very wreckless. The key cards kept deactivating. While at the desk getting help with this another patron was there because when they cleaned his room they stole his medicine. The hallways had a very bad stench to them.

Cons:

Multiple nights had people YELLING/fighting in the hallway. One particular night involved a woman banging on doors and yelling which ended in cops being called. Did not feel safe having my child here.
