Weekend stay
The noise commotion in first night. It was after 1:30 am and it carried on outside. Not having the fitness center as highly hoped. Parking is shared with the dmv and another hotel. It was a bit nutty on Saturday morning
Staff was friendly and room was good.

A bed to sleep in.

Definitely an older property but the friendliness of the staff and the support to the new Navy sailors was top notch. Beds are definitely smaller than a queen but it was cold enough to enjoy a snuggle with the wife. Distance to and from the Navy graduation was perfect.
