"Save your hard-earned money and look elsewhere. \n\nThis place is advertised as "Base Lodging," but that's misleading--it's essentially two barracks rooms awkwardly connected. The moment I stepped in, I was greeted by dirt and sticky surfaces that made it clear cleanliness was not a priority. Everything in the room looked like it was trapped in 1985: a tiny, outdated TV, worn-out furniture, dingy carpets, and clocks that belong in a thrift store. There were exactly two USB ports in the room, and unsurprisingly, neither of them worked. If you're expecting modern amenities, you'll be sorely disappointed.\n\nHousekeeping? More like no-keeping. The civilian cleaning staff barely did anything. The shower was a disaster--the head was sticky, and there were long black hairs stuck to the ceiling and tiles, a surefire sign of carelessness. The toilet seal was leaking, adding to the room's overall neglected condition. \n\nThe courtyards added to the experience, and not in a good way. You see, Marines frequent the area, and let's just say they don't keep it quiet. My nights were filled with the sounds of Marines doing Marine things--talking, singing, taking loud bathroom trips, and other shenanigans that echoed through the night. The thin walls made it impossible to escape the noise.\n\nIf you want rest, peace, or even basic comfort, go somewhere else. This place doesn't provide it, and the experience left me frustrated and sleep-deprived. There are far better places to spend your money and actually feel like you're getting what you pay for."

"It is open on Saturday and Sunday. But you don’t go on the ship. You go in a small room and look at pictures. Takes 5 minutes. Very disappointed. Those of us that went to boot camp here would like to see the rest of the ship."
