Just some info. I am staying at Navy Lodge and just called to change the reservation to my SR's name (as my sponsor) I was informed he will not have to go to the Navy Lodge to verify anything. Also she stated that the Navy Lodge is under construction and there may be some noise during the daytime hours.

They should be allowed to come to your hotel room with no problem at all. The only problems anyone has experienced is at the Gateway Inn. And you can only stay there if you have the proper military or DOD ID. So very few families stay there. You should be fine and the Sailors can hang out in your room, take a nap, take a nice long shower or whatever. Some, like my daughter can't wait to get off that base and see what they have been missing lol. So we went to the Mall and out to eat and had a wonderful time. There were tons of Sailors and families at the mall :)

Lavendergrl8 I asked that question yesterday and was told by DianneP that it is Gateway that we need to stay away from.  In fact I think you make your reservation in your sailor recruit's name and they are supposed to check in with the front desk sometime during your stay.  So you are fine staying at Navy Lodge

Syntia my sil wants to stay at days inn becasus it has a jacuzzi  and he thinks my daughter would enjoy that, lol.  Hope it works as I have stayed places that advertise that but then they don't work.

CourtRenee we are renting as well.  I think my s-i-l said that he also reserved a car seat from the car rental place so we didn't have to bring ours from home.

Hi MartiB, when I booked my stay at NAVY Lodge, the rate was flat $66.00 no taxes, no extras up to 6 people, that are allowed in a 2 bed room. Also, there seems to be larger rooms with kitchenettes and room for a bigger family for $71.00.

My S-I-L decided he wanted to stay at Days Inn so got a room over there - it is pretty close to RTC as well.  Hope to meet some of you ladies at graduation - it has been awesome getting such great information.  just 38 more days until our kids graduate:)

MartiB TX- I am definitely renting a car because I do have 2 infants that fro safety reasons I will have to have their carseats installed at tall times!

DianneP- Thank you for all of the information! I MAY try to bring them in and I will definitely be sitting at the bottom, because I know for a fact they won't sit still long. They are just so young, they won't remember this... I want to go and be able to listen & enjoy my hubby graduating, this is SUCH a big deal for us !! :)
I may just have my mom bring them at about the end, so when he is allowed to come see me, the kids will be there too by then... I know that when I talked to my hubby he said it was my call, but that the graduation is a big deal and they didn't need to be running around, like they always do! lol
