My husband and I are military and unfortunately, the Navy Lodge was booked at capacity.
We have a cat and considering we drove across country with him, we were well aware that while most hotels allow dogs, it is not the same with felines.
This "hotel" (actually apartments) allows both cats and dogs which we found VERY accommodating!
Because we needed to stay for for an extended period of time, having a washer and dryer, a FULL kitchen (complete with pots, pans, silverware etc.) with DOUBLE sinks in the bathroom was a luxury that we truly appreciated!
In addition, each apartment has a fireplace which we got to make great use out of!
The only negatives I have to say is that there is no room service for guests staying less than two weeks (you have to take out your own garbage which is quite a walk away, wash your own towels, make your bed, etc.) and access to the gym and other facilities is NOT 24 hours.
You have to wait until the office opens at 9 to use those facilities which is a big deal to me.
Other than that, the neighbor's were great, parking was suitable (they give you a parking pass and ACTUAL keys to get into your room) and they have indoor courts! Nearby shopping and food include Wal-Mart, Safeway, AMPM and Chevron (within walking distance), Burger King, Quiznos, Taco Time, Starbucks, Dominoes, etc.
Overall, it was a good experience! read more
