The overall hotel room was one of the most sturdiest rooms I've ever stayed.There were black spots on our sheets and pillowcases.And then when we went to take a shower.The bathroom shower had flew off.And almost hit us in the head.We had to have him change the shower head because it would not work even after tightening it, the overall maintenance of the hotel smell like cigarettes, even though it was a non-smoking room and just the overall dirtiness.We'll never stay here again

I arrived late, exhausted, and ready to collapse into bed. Unfortunately, my stay quickly turned into a live-action horror comedy. Night one: I was jarringly awakened by a man screaming in the hallway. He appeared to be holding an impromptu TED Talk about the hotel's cleanliness, though his exact words were hard to decipher—maybe due to the panic or the echo off the suspiciously sticky walls. I managed to fall back asleep, chalking it up to “crazies.” Morning one: I opened my door and two roaches sprinted into my room like they were checking in for their own stay. I played exterminator with my shoe, which honestly deserves hazard pay at this point. Later that evening, I met another roach—this one on the bathroom wall. I tried to channel my inner ninja and struck it down, only for it to land on my towel. At that moment, I decided I would not be bathing here. I slept fully clothed like I was camping in the wilderness... with questionable linens. Speaking of which, a massive mystery stain on the bed sheet revealed itself like a jump scare in a horror film. Too tired the night before to notice—lucky me. Checkout morning: One final roach made a farewell appearance as it scurried behind the headboard like it was clocking out of a shift. I didn’t wait to say goodbye. I grabbed my things, loaded up my car, and got out faster than a contestant in a haunted house challenge. In summary, if you’re looking for a hotel that includes a midnight hallway performance, surprise bug

Do NOT stay here

Do NOT stay here unless you like sharing a room with roaches! During my stay I've killed about 12-15 roaches. Housekeeping does not use gloves when cleaning rooms and hands you dirty towels. I've spoken to the front desk several times with no resolution. The hallway smells like ass, weed and dirty carpet. I'm in the process of getting a refund for my stay. Please look for other places in the area.

Not enough food options, no vending machines in the hotel, nothing in the room to write on or with, no tv guide other than on the tv, no phone book. I understand most people uses their phone for everything, so what happens to a guest that is not comfortable looking for everything on a cell phone?

I loved the welcome sign for the Naval graduates! If they had smart tvs, it would be better. If they had an elevator, I would be better or at least someone to help with your bags. Housekeeping came in the room regardless of the “do not disturb” sign but after a polite conversation, it was solved. Overall good experience. AC works great in the room. Gets a little stuffy in the hallways though. The fan helped them a lot! I would stay again.
