I did like that they offered breakfast, hotel is in need of new furniture. The chairs in my suite were some kind of vinyl , they looked pretty rough. Vinyl was peeling , the couch in the living area sunk down so bad and the coffee tables were wobbly.

The windows were old and allowed a lot of road noise. The couch was absolutely terrible. The pull out had dirty sheets on it. The couch itself was covered in stains and dirty so we got an extra sheet to cover it. Dining table chsirs were falling apart. Rooms were overall out dated.

The room had two bed rooms and two bathrooms, 3 TVs, a whole kitchen that was stocked with all your kitchen needs. It had a fireplace as well. My son graduated from Navy boot camp, and for me to be able to cook him a home cooked meal since he had been gone for 9 weeks was absolutely everything to us. We would recommend this establishment to any and all Navy recruit families.
