This was probably the nicest Navy Lodge we've stayed at. Very nice and quaint.

My 100th Review!!! And too bad it has to be a mediocre review!
This hotel does deserve the 5 stars if you are only staying for a night, or a week at the most. However, my husband and I and our dog are here for 2 and a half months. We are half way through, and I am itching to get out.
Pros:
-For the most part, the staff is really nice.
-When things are cleaned, they are cleaned well.
-It is in a great location.
-The beds are comfortable.
-The rooms are a good size.
-Free To-Go breakfast in the morning
Cons:
- Since we are long-term customers, I do not find it necessary for the cleaning staff to come in EVERYDAY to clean. So I allow them in every other day since they have a policy where they need to come in at least once every 24 hours. This is fine, except on more than one occasion, they have come in and nothing was done. Numerous times I have had to call and ask for toilet paper, ask for tissues, and ask for towels. One time, the covers on our bed were just thrown up. We went 3 weeks without having the toilet cleaned. The bathroom and kitchen floors have yet to be swept. Really, this would not be a big deal, but these are things I cannot do myself and when I do call the front desk and ask for cleaning supplies, I get 20 questions. Do I really need to explain why I need paper towels?
-Hot water is a luxury here on weekends unless you plan on taking a shower after 1pm. I understand that it is busy, but it is a hotel.
-Some of the staff at the front desk can be rude. There is one man in particular that I avoid because he makes me feel stupid. There was one incident where my dog got sick on the carpet in my room, so I needed something to clean it up with. I called and asked for paper towels and he said he had none. So I explained the situation and he comes to the door and tells me to find a cleaning lady for the supplies..... So I had to walk around finding a cleaning lady.
-The sheets are supposedly changed every four days, but thats doubtful.
I never expected anything grand since this is a Navy Lodge, but I was expecting the basics. If we weren't staying here for 2 and a half months, none of this would be a big deal, but the fact of the matter is that we are. This is our temporary home and I wish it would start to feel like one... -

Review from Heidi K.

Wow, absolutely clean! We only stayed for one night but I wish we had stayed for the weekend. It was a lot better than expected, and I'm so glad we stayed. Cheap and clean, comfortable! The only part I was disappointed about was the beautiful, cool looking pool across the street that guests are not allowed to use. I don't know if it's the base pool or a housing pool... but apparently navy lodge guests USED to be able to swim there, but not anymore because it was "too crowded." Only PCS-end guests are permitted. Oh well. I will be looking forward to our next navy lodge experience!

Review from Eric D.

I've always been reluctant to stay at the Navy Lodge since I had some idea of it being a glorified barracks. I was completely wrong. Definitely a great benefit to being a service member or family member of one.
The room was huge with a small kitchen suite and all sorts of things you'd find in a much more expensive motel. My wife and son enjoyed their stay very much. It's quiet, clean and the staff was friendly. I will definitely be staying here again when I'm visiting my brother.Listed in: Fury of Five

This is a fantastic place to stay. It books early, so get your reservation in as soon as possible. At about $70 a night, it's tough to beat price wise. Big rooms, nice furniture, excellent kitchenettes. Great place to go, even for a weekend get-a-way.
