Nice place to stay, rooms were clean and staff was friendly. The property is close to Walmart, places to eat , and a bowling alley. Breakfast was available and it’s not far from the Navy Bootcamp graduation center, it also had an indoor pool which my 6 year old nephew loved. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
