Great for Families

Very close to Navy Training Center & lots of restaurants. There are grocery stores and a Walmart very close by if you need or forget anything. The room was clean and linens very comfortable. The bed was too firm for me. The room itself could use a upfresh but it served its purpose. Front Desk staff were awesome

Extended stay hotel....not our preferred VRBO

Really had been looking for a VRBO individual home, but all in our price range were already booked because it was graduation weekend. An extended stay hotel worked, but not our first choice. Breakfast was so-so...pancake machine was either empty or not working, other choices were typically blah.
