Positives: I thought it was a very well put together and very well taken care of facility.

Negatives: Maybe needs to be updated some

Shirl solo traveller September 21, 2024
Positives: Clean
Negatives: Came from military graduation. The Navy discount code on their site but unable to use through Booking.com. Try to call hotel to book through then to get the discount but the phone just rang and rang ; no one ever picked up . I called multiple times on different days and at various times. There were other hotels in the area with better rates.

Superb
Luke young couple September 16, 2024
Positives: The staff were incredibly nice. We checked in, went to the front desk within our one night stay, and checked out with 3 different staff members and every single one of them were so kind and happy. The room was also clean and it seemed like our hotel was within close proximity to things.
Negatives: The couch was not very comfortable.

Very good
David family with young children September 13, 2024
Positives: The professionalism of the desk clerks in providing personal care items such as toothpaste and with a smile. Also this mornings desk clerk set up a live stream feed for a number of us guests to watch the recruit graduation ceremony at Great Lakes Naval Training Center. She was very knowledgeable, including adjusting the air conditioning in the room to accomadate my 94 yr old father. And she also provided a blanket for him to warm himself.
Negatives: The room key was intermittent in allowing access to the room. Worked fine for access to the common areas, but it didn't seem to like the card reader on the room door most of the time.
Review
Awesome experience with my dad.

Very good
English family with young children September 8, 2024
Positives: The rooms were perfect for our needs. We didn't have to be on top of each other all the time.
Negatives: The bedding was strange...a padded duvet type thing in between 2 top sheets. Would rather have a blanket and sheet. Also saw an older man walking around in his undies...in the hallway. I'm glad it was me, and not my girls who saw that.

Exceptional
Erin review category business travellers September 2, 2024
Positives: Room size
Negatives: Bathroom cleanliness was not good, did you ever hear of a toothbrush to clean the edges of floor in the bathroom. Mopping just pushes dirt to the edges. Hotel could use a major makeover. Red tape over hole in carpet.
Review
Pleasant
Lucretia family with young children August 28, 2024
Positives: The location was perfect for the reason I was there. Hot tub was amazing and the breakfast was great!
Negatives: There were small bugs crawling on the door and inside the room by the front door. I couldn’t get the deadbolt to unlock. The bed was hard. And smaller than expected.
Review
It was pretty decent just...
Eddie family with young children August 28, 2024
Positives: The staff was great. Very friendly. Was close to the base.
Negatives: The room was horribly dirty, stains on the carpet as soon as you walked in, that looked like they were never attempted to be clean. I mean a huge black splatter not a simple small coffee or drink spill. Our white socks turned brown after only a few minutes of trying to relax with our shoes off. Chairs had torn and worn leather that looked like they were from a garage sale or had been in a warehouse for years. The chairs did not present well in our photos. Cabinets had actual food spill on them and grime that litterally got on your hands. The dishwasher is loose and not fully connected to the cabinet frame making it hard to turn on. The refrigerator had so many dents it looked like someone shot at it with a pellet gun. The couch was horrible and sunken in and the pull out bed in the couch was like sleeping on a bunch of springs. Getting extra towels seemed to be a big deal where I had to go down and get them and return the used ones at the same time. We were in a filthy pet room when we did not have any pets with us. Key cards did not always work to get in from the outside and a worker let us in and said he was going to fix it, which he did. Coffee was not always available in the lobby nor was the cream, we had to keep asking. The photos online did not reflect the room appearance and quality. Totally false advertising. If you do not have pets make sure you ask for a room that is not a pet room. We would have loved to bring our fur babies but boarded them instead.
Review
Room was filthy and broken...
Ladonna family with young children August 27, 2024
Positives: Convenience. Privacy. Nice to have a hotel room for the whole family but everyone is still able to get to their own spaces if needed.
Negatives: The room wasn't the cleanest but it wasn't bad. There was a couple things left behind by previous guests and the shower didn't look like it had been cleaned (hair on the walls). No huge issues though! Also, the road noise on the back side is pretty bad.... Would have changed rooms if it wasn't sold out.
Review
Not great... But also perfect!
