We booked Navy Lodge last night, only $65. From what I've been reading it's supposd to be very nice and close to the base. My only concern, the guy that took the resevation said they didn't have a shuttle. I'll have to check on that again...a shuttle would be nice from what I hear of the traffic getting on the base.

We booked a double queen suite at Holiday Inn Express. It was more pricey $149 but we're saving up priority points so we can do a trip depending on where he'll be stationed after A-school. Also, I really like their breakfasts and their pool.

I have reservations at the navy lodge. They said they were 1 mile from base. I have a military id so that won't be a problem. Was just wondering which one was actually on base.
