Best place for families who have a Marine graduating!! This is our second time in one year to be here for graduation. Our oldest graduated last year and the place we stayed was too far and not a good location. This time I booked with Holiday Inn Old Town and from the minute they picked us up from the airport we felt welcomed and the transportation to and from was so easy! They take you to the base and pick you up. They also shuttle to airport, Old Town, and a couple other places. This was so nice and convenient! Nick, Art, and all the staff were so nice and welcoming! We even got to ride in the Telsa a few times and that was super cool. 😎 Much better experience than last and having the shuttle was so worth it!!! Thank you for a wonderful stay, Semper Fi 🇺🇸

The property is located right by I-5 and all the two-bed rooms are overlooking it. They tried to accommodate us as far away from it as possible but the noise was still unbearable unless you keep the windows closed of course. The parking downstairs is probably no more than 30 feet away from I-5 with no noise barrier. The noise there is horrendous, and they charge a parking fee for it.
