This place was great! We stayed here because our recruit was graduating. They had a shuttle to take you there in the morning but we didn't opt in for that. They also serve breakfast in the morning. Will be staying here again if we ever visit again.

Our bathroom didn’t seem to have been cleaned. Long black hairs on folded towels on rack & soap residue on shower shelf :( Staff wasn’t overly friendly and seemed bothered when we asked for more towels and WiFi access. Shuttle to PIR and back was nice but it’s also $3 per person each way - cash only and no AC in the van so it was a miserable ride. Definitely a no frills hotel and way overpriced.
