One night stay with family
My hotel stay with my family was just an ok experience. When we first arrived at the front desk we were not greeted by the front desk gentleman and he was talking to what appeared to be the manager neither acknowledged my family or I as we stood there watching them talk for a couple minutes. The room was spacious but looked a little run down. Especially the bathroom/ shower looks to have the beginning stages of mold on the ceiling from not being properly ventilated. Overall the room had plenty of towels and space to accommodate a family of 5.

The staff was so friendly, helpful and went above expectations while we were there for our son’s graduation. They made sure we had everything we needed and took great care of us. The rooms are cleaned daily and that doesn’t happen at all hotels! The breakfast was great. The hotel was close to the airport, MCRD, beaches and restaurants.
