I left within 15 minutes of checking in. This place is very unsafe for being right outside of the military base. Drive a few more exits to go elsewhere.

NO BREAKFAST, Lucky to have coffee!!!!

Well, we showed up and thought OK this might be ok, got up the next morning 730ish to go get continental breakfast only to find the door locked and NO BREAKFAST there. So my wife bitched and the next morning it was open but only coffee. Just to be clear our trip was NOT all about breakfast, BUT we did pick the place due to it and location, NEVER again!
