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 🙂
