TDY Gouge - Virginia

Langley AFB, VA - Extended Stay America was a great hotel. This place is wonderfully located right behind Hooters, across the street from a mall and the Bass Pro Shop. The base is only ten minutes away but will take twenty to thirty to get on because of traffic. Rooms were spacious with free internet, kitchenette, full size refrigerator, cupboards, and dishes! It was an all around great stay for our entire crew of nearly fourty.

Norfolk NAS, Virginia Beach, VA - I made reservations at the Comfort Suites previously recommended on the page, but that hotel does not cater to AMC crews anymore. In fact, they even gave me a very hard time canceling my reservation. Comfort Inn Norfolk Naval Station -- "We wanted to let everyone know that we are offering you the same great deal that Comfort Suites is offering....only ours is better 1/2 mile from NAS, free cab fare from MAC Terminal, Crew Room, Free Pizza, Free Continental breakfast, Indoor Pool & hot tub, preferred guest hospitality -- We would be happy to honor any special requests for food & beverages as long as you let Johnetta or myself know in advance" Contact Johnetta or Mitzi @ 757-451-0000 Great Rates!!!! -excellent customer service,free pizza & beer, transportation from airport! Sheraton on Waterside Drive is good -(757)622 6664 -Go down the street to Dixie's Tavern. Great Bartenders! ~Comfort Inn Norfolk NAS was a nice clean hotel with great customer service. We found plenty of restaurants nearby. See the manager Mitzi...she's great. Plenty of free beer and pizza and a private hospitality room (not in the lobby like comfort suites) ~It seems the place to go now is the Quality Suites at Lake Wright. It has all the old amenities and is located next to a golf course. the rooms are all suites. Please pass along. Their phone# is (757) 461-6251. ~Good Hotel. AMC room BEST in Norfolk. Transportation provided from base. ~Sheraton Waterside (757-622-6664) was great! Great rooms service and location. Was able to negotiate government rate of $55 night.Located next to Waterside Restaurants, including Outback Steakhouse, Jillians, Hooters et.al. Plan on a cab fare of appx $20-25 if Navy doesn't give you wheels. Complimentary USA Today and WSJ. Much nicer than Radisson. Ground transportation from NAS Norfolk to Norfolk Intl, use LPR Airport Express 757-857-5950, 1 to a busload with go-to-war baggage. P/U at terminal (not the front gate), large group discount. Our 20 persons cost $125 total, open 24/7 ask for Perry or Lisa.

Pentagon, Arlington, VA - Crystal City Doubletree was a great hotel, close to the Pentagon. Walking dist to Pentagon City Shopping Mall. Free bus to the Pentagon. Rooms with nice views of the Capitol Mall. Rotating bar overlooking DC with expensive beers. Overall, nice place to stay. Oh, yeah. Free warm chocolate chip cookies on check in. ~Ritz Carlton, Crystal City was a Palace! Ask for the military rate of 150.00 per night. This hotel is terrific. It connects to a mall and is within walking distance of the Pentagon and numerous restaurants. So if you have official business at the Pentagon you might as well put on the Ritz.

Quantico MCAF, VA - Quantico MCAF is a separate installation from Quantico Marine Base. Therefore you DO NOT need a non-availability slip from lodging. You're on your own finding a hotel & rental car. Good luck on the weekends or when OCS has a graduation. - Stayed at The Crossroads Inn and was not displeased. Clean and easy with a 10 minute on-base drive to baseops and the flightline. Would be pretty good for an extended stay with a mini-kitchen in the rooms and a GOV signed out no hassle. The Marines run a good show here. Good trails/roads for running and a pretty good gym too. Excellent German dining "Zum Rheingarten Restaurant" with excellent beer. right out the gate (straight shot from billeting).
