Do not recommend
Bed sheets had holes in them from cigarettes, and sheets were not as clean as they should be as there was some dirt and also hairs on the pillows. Toilet did not flush great and shower did not look clean. The hallways smelt like weed. Breakfast was not great at all.

I attended my son’s boot camp graduation. Every easy to get to the base. The staff was very attentive and they made sure as a member I received my credit. Very clean. Staff during breakfast kept the area clean and in the middle of the day very cleaned as well. I recommend this if attending a boot camp graduation.
