being senior with cancer our room key did not work would have to go to the desk to get another card that was 20 times. last day had to get upset and tell them. They tried to say my phone did it. wrong i did not carry a phone also i had 2 rooms only one room did this. The small guy started yelling at my husband then me. The Breakfast a joke health department needs to be notified. Also they have notice at front desk saying that they will stream the Navy Graduation in the breakfast room well that was not good either they ran vacuum and a man with EarPods on talking as loud as he could to his girlfriend because of the vacuum going on. The beds were clean. They have some kind of metal frame under the bed that sounds like a gong drum every time you get up. All the drawers were screwed shut could not use them.No microwave . I will consider calling franchise this is not looking good for their company. I was scared to post this if they try to charge me for phony charges . Except for being the closest motel to the base but you also can not walk from that motel either it says 9 mins wrong! The cleaning crew was polite but the small guy horrible.Will let other Navel people know skip that place funny stayed in Tennessee last month say franchise and it was excellent.

Impressed about the cleanliness of the rooms, but the following was disappointing:
1. The \"drawers\" were screwed shut and did not open. According to front dest, was on purpose.
2. Window locking mechanism was flimsy and felt unsafe for first floor. Definitely needs update.
3. Paper thin walls - heard all the neighbors until 4am and had to turn on television with a higher volume just to drown out the sounds from little ears. terrible night's sleep!
People come to a hotel during travel for rest. The fact that the staff knows that these rooms are for \"partying on the weekends\" (front desk admitted) and are ok with it tells me that they don't care about the reputation that brings with them. I don't care how \"affordable\" this appeared to be, I would have paid more for a better night's rest. I will not make that mistake again!

The room was clean, bed was very hard and creeky. The refrigerator froze our drinks and food we placed into it and there was not a microwave in the room to heat up food we bought. Our room was next to the elevator so we could hear everyone going up and down as well as every conversation had down the hall.We were there for a Navy graduation and it was very close to the Naval base. There was a convenient side door access near the elevator with key card reader, however, the reader didn’t work and the door was just left unlocked and anyone could enter the building so it felt a little unsafe.

I had to seek lodging at another site. There was a burning to the face that I experienced when I walked into the room, and there someone painting a room close by. I went out for fresh air and then I decided to seek another site because the burning was related to something that was used at the property. I told the mgr that I was leaving because of health and safety reasons , and he said that he can do nothing. I spent 15 mins in the room. I went to another Days Inn and it was night and day. Clean, welcoming, ready for guests.

The room was just ok, there was no microwave in the room! For one full day, every time we left and came back to the room, our key would not work! We had to get it reset at least 3 different times, VERY ANNOYING! Also, there was a metal flashing around the bottom of both beds. When you walked up to your bed your foot would ALWAYS kick it and the noise it made would reverberate LOUDLY! Wished we would have booked somewhere else! The only good thing was it is close to the Navy Graduation.

The room was 62 degrees, slept with my coat on all my winter cloths and double socks because no one tuned the heat on in the room for us. We arrived at 2:30am after calling the hotel at midnight that we would be arriving in the middle of the night so we could make sure we could get in. I never thought I would have to remind them to make sure the heat was on. Middle of January and in a deep freeze while traveling. Very disappointed. Room was clean and otherwise decent.

There was a winter storm on the way so I chose to stay here to be close to work. When I got here, there was no one at the front desk to check me in. Waited for 15-20 minutes. I then get to the room and can’t get in because my room key wasn’t working. I get in the room, the bed is so uncomfortable here. It feels like you are sleeping on springs. Quite noisy outside and the people staying next to me and above were so noisy. They kept throwing stuff and stomping on the floor. I will not be coming to stay at this place again.

The breakfast items were fresh, around the property was clean, when I arrived the shower was not cleaned properly and front desk had to come clean it, the second day housekeeping left dirty rag and glasses on the dresser, the third day they didn't clean the room but later did come back but didn't change the sheets. The excuse that were given is that staff called out and management had to help out. It is an older property

If you're passing and need ONE night to stay this place will suffice. But the bed is UNCOMFORTABLE. I spoke to several guests and they all say the same. The place has mold that is just painted over. The AC unit trips and only works for 15 mins at a time. Hair dryer doesn't work. Room service doesn't get done until 6PMish and its done half-assed .. i was there for a week and it was only swept 2x.
when The bedding is juat two sheets and a thin throw blanket. \"Breakfast\" was just cereal and a breakfast bar.

I'm not sure who's leaving five star.Reviews because all the people I talk to over a week's stay All had the same consensus ..

Staff were great. They tried to charge my card several times the day prior to check in even tho i selected pay at facility. We came to a understanding and he waited till we got there to check in . Room was spotless ! Cons. Beds were very firm so for myself it wasnt good but my husband loved it. They dont have anywhere to hang your clothes if you have a suit or anything. My favorite is the glow in the dark toilet seat! Lol the hallway on the first floor did have a bad smell. We also loved that the room wasnt carpted .

The shuttle for the graduation was fast, affordable and they communicate the instruction very well. Breakfast available enough to get my morning going the basic but im greatful.

Picture was so bad we could barely see the screen, plus we called a day ahead of time to move one day due to a missed flight and they refused to change or refund my money for the one day after the manager hounded me for early payment they were rude and shut the breakfast down 30 min early claiming to be out of food this was a special day of my daughters Navy graduation and the 3 rooms we had were so awefull it made the entire trip off

On Thursday, he told us he had to leave Saturday. I informed the front desk Thursday evening but they said sorry, we still had to pay. Very disappointed. Also every morning we tried to eat breakfast at about 8:30/9am and nothing but cereal and fruit. Room was ok but had to get different keys 5 times since they didn’t work. Very frustrating.

Terrible hotel. Please spend your money elsewhere.

It was an extremely difficult check-in and they couldn't find the reservation. They booked and charged me on the hotels side and told me to cancel my reservation through hotels.com but stated not to tell them they charged at the hotel. We did not have a closet, rack, anything to hang towels up, no mirror in the room. There was an orange extension power cord as the only means of charging electronics. No microwave. The shower curtain was dirty. Holes in the sheets. Breakfast was not edible. Went to the counter twice during the stay and had to go find staff as noone was at the front desk. Side door was not secured and just opened, rather than using the room key. Carpets were always dirty. Vending machines did not work. Again, nobody at the desk to return my keys upon checkout. This was the worst hotel we have stayed in, ever.

I told the Sir behind the counter that it was reserv for 2 bed and he said no it was a one bed. We chalked up that error to get into the room and see the metal bed frame was so loud every move. The closet was on the wall, toilet tissue was sitting on top of toilet(no holder) and to top it off the bathtub had a prior hole in it that was putty in(alot) and not smoothed out.I have stwayed in alot of different spots traveling but this was not worth the price at all!!

If you're just looking for a place to crash for a night or two, it's not bad. If you're coming here for vacation or longer than two nights, I would consider spending a little bit more on a nicer hotel or air b&b. I was pleased with it but it could definitely use some upgrades like nicer bedding, lamps, etc.
