I stayed at the Navy Lodge when I went up for my son's boot camp graduation, and I would definately recommend it. There is no tax on your lodging, the price is more reasonable than other lodging in the area, and it is probably the closest to the base. The rooms were very nice and the staff very friendly and helpful. They do have a shuttle that goes up to the base for bootcamp graduation, but they suggested that I drive as the grad will want to get out of there as quick as possible, and I gotta say, I did get out quicker than the shuttles.
