Nice stay for Naval graduation
Nice area, many stores and restaurants in walking distance. Has a Bar/restaurant in hotel lobby, but didn't try it out so can't rate that. Very nice staff. About 20 m8ns from Naval base and Naval graduation.

Classy place to stay
Nice hotel with a great design. Great room and nice set up and furnishings. The insulation isn’t very good so you do get noise from the hallways and other rooms. They gave me a room by the elevator which added to the noise but wasn’t too bad at night. The area felt safe and upper class with good shopping nearby. No breakfast offered but the have a bar/cafe area to get food and drinks

Nice cosy and affordable hotel.
Hotel was nice but noisy at night. My room was right outside the elevator and there was several parties going on that spilled out onto the hallway.
