We were disappointed that the pool had a few centipedes in the water. And the hot tub was not operational. The night staff was very nice.

Not too bad but there are better options in area

Overall was not a bad stay. We had to have the blankets and sheets changed on both beds as one bed had some questionable stains and the other was full of dog hair. They changed them immediately. They had really good coffee (coffee was available all day) and muffins during breakfast.

I thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day stay here. We were in the city for our daughter’s naval graduation and this location was prime for all the things we could’ve wanted or needed. The staff was nice and very accommodating. The daily breakfast was plentiful and was always stocked whether you wanted to sit in the breakfast area, or grab and go! Highly recommend this hotel and I will be back so long as the service remains the same 🙂
