I would like to thank Sarah (AKA Ms. B in a prior review) for the great customer service at the front desk. I would like to thank Stacey for the instant response to a warranted house keeping situation. I would like to thank James for everything. The staff is very helpful and appeasing to whatever your needs are. If you have a problem or unpleasant situation, this is the staff you would want to handle it. I would recommend this hotel due to the staff members that exhibited great leadership skills and the way they went out of their job expectations at hand to give you a memorable experience.

Nice staff. But I was unable to get the fan on the thermostat to stay on unless it was actively heating or cooling. I usually use this to block outside noise, so I was awakened all hours by traffic/sirens and sounds of hotel doors & other guests alarms. The bed was also much too firm, which was super disappointing - I had been very much looking forward to sinking into one of Marriott's reliably comfortable beds. Very clean, new, great design & decor, and staff was very nice

I’ve stayed here several times visiting my son at the naval base. I just love this hotel and the employees. They are very friendly and welcoming. My favorite part, there is a stray cat that has been “living” there for years. Of course the employees feed her and so do the guests!
