Navy Graduation stay

The hotel was very big with friendly staffing for the most part. Their breakfast service was amazing, best we’ve had. Only issue we had with the room was the amount of gnats that were coming out of the bathroom sink and the state of the floors when we first arrived. Overall, for the price and quality, it was a good deal. We booked for a studio and it was perfect for our little family.

So this has to be the most noisy place we've ever stayed in. The furniture looks like it's something out of a rummage sale. I did find a bug in the bathroom light that eventually died that looked like a roach and in the middle of the night our fireplace kicked on and after that we could smell gas in our room and we opened all the windows and left as quickly as possible. The lady at the desk said she would have someone contact us about a partial refund but nobody ever did.
It did finally die in the light.

There was a used bar of soap in the shower and a dirty pair of underwear under the bed. The toilet was clogged when we arrived. Then to get fresh towels we were required to take our towels to the desk before they would allow us fresh towels. We also had an emergency call from our family on the west coast that they refused to put through to the room. They claimed that it is policy to not connect the call unless they have the room number. The room number was the only thing that our family member didn’t have because we had only checked in that day. They didn’t even try to let us know anyone was trying to contact us.
