This hotel is amazing for MCRD SD graduation needs. They were very welcoming and top notch service from the hotel, its shuttle drivers and making you feel welcome and they were just as proud of the new marines as the families. Highly recommend staying here. They took care of us and it was a lot of people and never once saw a fault.
