OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

You may book your reservation and place it on a 6 PM hold.  This will hold your reservation unitl you present a method of payment. We do not charge any credit card until you arrival, however, at 6 PM on the day of arrival we authorize your card for one night's stay which holds your room for late arrival.  Please make your reservation as soon as possible.

My boyfriend is graduating in Great Lakes and i'm going with his family. i'm in charge of travel plans however his mom doesnt get paid until january 3 while the graduation is the 24th. Do you still have rooms left first off. but how do you charge guests, while booking, upon arrival, or after the stay? i really would like to stay here because of how convenient and all of the wonderful reviews! i just dont want to have to wait until the 3rd because it will probably be all booked. let me know, thank you!!

Yes...we have reservations for PIR and my daughter (our SRs mother) said to be sure and bring my handicap placard so I would not have to walk as far. I am so excited and can't wait to see our SR! Looking forward to meeting you all.

Parking on Base is a great option for those who are not able to walk far.  The parking lot is just across the street from the Drill Hall.
