Ship13 Division 196 graduation on June 6, 2014

[NAVY BOOT CAMP]

Interested in sharing with parents going to the PIR. Live in Columbus, Ohio. Flying to Great Lakes on June 5. Want to talk about lodging options. Hope this is the best discussion site.

Lots of options available. My sons PIR is 02MAY2014... Getting close. My two adult kids will be staying at the Marriott with my wife and I. We have a suite that will hold all of us. Some of the hotels have shuttles to and from the base, my big thing was to make sure we have a clean place to stay. The Marriott has a good track record. There are other places with similar accommodations but I feel better with what I know. With the amount of business that's goes through that area, I'm sure we'd hear of the bad places. Not much help here, good luck!

I stayed at the Marriott Courtyard twice...very nice, but the most reasonable and closet to the base is the Navy Lodge at $65/night

Marriott Staff was great, they were very helpful and the whole community made us feel very humble in their attentiveness to our needs.  Glad you are going in June we were there for the Polar Vortex in January and I could NOT wait to get back to California!
