Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I stayed at this hotel because it was close to the Navy base and it had a pool and hot tub. The pool had mold all around the deck, on the chairs and tables, the pool was supposed to be heated seeing its winter time and it was so cold we could not, The hot tub was closed. Our room has spider webs in the corners and in the shower, the beds were very small as well as the blankets. The blankets had duve covers on the and the blankes inside look like a rat or something had ate through it, it had holes all over the blanket. We got locked out of our room for 30 min because the door was doing something weird. There was puke outside the exit door to our car. People were smoking cigarettes and weed in their rooms and nothing was done about. I took pictures and provided them and they still would not give a refund.

I booked a standard double bed room. There was is no microwave or mini refrigerator in those types of rooms. I don’t know if they have them in a suite, but in a standard there were none. I expected to have those amenities inside of a standard room because anywhere else I stayed it was a standard amenity. The downstairs bar/restaurant was permanently closed. They only serve a breakfast buffet in the mornings for $12 per person and 1 child eats free with per paying adult. The hot tub in the pool area is covered and shut down permanently as well. I was traveling with my family and this hotel did not accommodate my family. I needed a mini refrigerator for juice boxes and nursing milk. It did have a coffee maker in the room but we don’t drink coffee so it was useless for our family needs. Lesson learned we won’t be staying at this property in the future.

Everything was seamless. Staff was very polite and helpful. Only downside was the Air Conditioner, the adjustment was able to go to 62 but the room temperature was a constant 70/72 which is a bit warm for me to sleep in.

Expedia advertised there is a hot tub. No working hot tub in years. Pool was ice cold. Property needs some TLC…dusty, chipped walls, carpets, etc. breakfast buffet…they were more worried about obtaining the buffet tickets or getting customers to pay to eat than they were about providing warm food or cleaning tables. Be better

The property is very dated. The vanity in the bathroom was detached from the ground. The vanity top in the kitchenette area was stained. The disposable coffee cups supplied in the room were too tall for the coffee maker. The mattress in the pull-out couch had stains and holes, and was very thin. The property was conveniently located and easy to get to.
