We flew in from California for my son’s graduation for boot camp. As soon as we go there we checked in but no accommodation for luggage. When we made a few trips up and down stairs from our car to the room the room smelled like dirty wet clothes. There were stains on the sheets and the floors were dirty. The pillows were great for decoration but not to sleep I had to fold a few towels to be able to sleep the second night. On top of all of this my son’s Nintendo switch was stolen from the room. We chose this location for the distance between camp and lodging but if your loved one has an upcoming graduation look elsewhere. The food they recommend was overpriced and not worth it. The cleaning staff were the most helpful and welcoming people.
