We needed an accessible room. It was well-designed with adequate space, a roll-in shower, and a lounge chair that was easy to position in the room. A staff member said the property in 18 years old, but has been well-maintained. The breakfast area has plenty of room to move around and food was fresh and hot. Definitely would choose again.

Stayed here for 4 nights for my son's graduation from Navy bootcamp. Great location in proximity to the navy base, restaurants and stores. Our room was very clean and comfortable.

I stay at this hotel a lot I always love it! The breakfast is great, the rooms are always so clean and it’s overall a great hotel to stay at! I wouldn’t stay in room 211 again though it’s right in front of the elevator so it was a bit loud this weekend and I couldn’t really rest and relax. But besides that I always love staying at this hotel!
