The location is good, very close to the Naval Station. They provide a shuttle bus in the morning on graduation day. There are many restaurants nearby. The staff are polite. The receptions are friendly, respectful, and very helpful with recommendations. The hotel feels safe, and I would definitely stay here again if I have the chance.

I didn’t like the parking. And the room is not matching the price it’s too pricey. When we checked in they gave us a wrong card the power won’t turn on and there was no chair. The bed was noisy with a little movement. It was a bad experience i felt like i wasted my money there
