It is NOT close enough to walk, especially this time of year in Great Lakes weather- I loved staying at the Navy Lodge! It was clean and close to RTC-the front desk can call and arrange a ride for you if you did not rent a car or drive- there is a charge but it is not far---- so it shouldn't cost too much. Hope this helps

Did you save a lot of money staying at the Navy Lodge? I'm considering staying there, but I don't know much about it. The biggest thing I'm trying to avoid is tons of traffic. I guessing that staying on base will help me do that?

I have a question about the Navy Lodge. I read on their website that only family members or official guests can stay there. My boyfriend is currently in boot camp, but he did put my name on the list to attend PIR. Would I be able to stay at the Navy Lodge since I'm not legally "family?"

Is this the Navy lodge located on Meridian road. On the website its navy lodge? They show rates for different things but not family rate.

There is information in another forum that you should take a towel for your new sailor to sit on and a lint brush, because they have to keep the uniform spotless.. also suggested taking a civilian change of close for them when they are in the hotel with you.. They have to be in Navy dress when in public, swimming, etc.. They have to keep their right arm free to salute when out in public. Nothing was said about thier shoes.. except in the hotel only...also they can use their cell phone ipod etc.. but not sure if they can keep them or if your have to mail them when they are in A school... My SR is ship 09 div 192.. his big day is 6/3/11,, can't wait
