Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and overlooked the shipyard, which was awesome, but there was nothing in the large room. The service was friendly but the hotel seemed understaffed at times. The location was great with water views but had very limited dining options. The dining experience was not as good as expected due to limited hours. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, the dining options were limited, and the Wi-Fi was not included in the price.
The hotel is located not far from the beach and other VA destinations, offering a wonderful view and spacious bathroom. However, the terrible lighting throughout the entire bedroom and gym clothes smell were a downside.
