This hotel exceeded my expectations, the room was clean and the staff was extremely accommodating. I got a single queen bed room which was really spacious. The bathroom was also spacious and came with plenty of toiletries.

Nice room, great kitchenette, comfy beds, ample desk & closet space. Staff is wonderful & friendly! Breakfast is available every morning but options are incredibly limited and sub-par at best…especially if you have any allergies! (My children have egg & dairy allergies & there was nothing for them besides maybe dry Froot Loops or sausage.)

We were visiting our son and it was so nice to be able to stay on base. The breakfast was tasty and filling. Our room was amazing and the service was great. Everyone was always smiling and friendly.

The rooms are great with everything basic that you need and more. It’s not often you get a studio hotel room with a large kitchen! The free laundry machines are a huge plus. The staff was so helpful and friendly—specifically the overnight staff. I will be staying here again for the service and convenience this place offers. It’s also within walking distance of the Exchange and commissary. The base is very safe although some immediate areas outside of the base are more questionable. Just remember it is on a military installation so some amenities might be more stripped down. Overall it’s a great value.

Great Military temporary housing for active duty, PCS and retirees. My wife and I recently stayed here for over six months as we were displaced from our home due to a disaster. The staff welcomed us as family. Jean, the General Manager is wonderful! On one occasion there was a knock on our door and Jean stopped by on her vacation to make sure everything was AOK! Marylou, who runs the breakfast bar is precious. She was always concerned about our comfort and made sure we didn't go hungry! Thanks to all the staff for welcoming us and making this our home for an extended period.
