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 🙂

Do not recommend
Bed sheets had holes in them from cigarettes, and sheets were not as clean as they should be as there was some dirt and also hairs on the pillows. Toilet did not flush great and shower did not look clean. The hallways smelt like weed. Breakfast was not great at all.
