Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
A little bit older, but honestly for the price and convenient location, I was pleasantly surprised. Especially since it was a suite with a kitchenette, separate bedroom, pull out couch, two TV's and two closets. Its really close to the interstate and the navy base. Highly recommend.
