Dated, but a great location with decent accommodations
The Marines Memorial Hotel has been in business since 1946, immediately following WWII. It has provided its hotel rooms, conference rooms and dining facilities since then to many military and civilian personnel. While the building is in need of some overall updating, there are many attractions still to be found. The dining room near the top floor serves good and inexpensive food/drinks with a wonderful view of the city. You don't have to be a hotel guest to eat lunch or dinner.
Some of the hotel rooms are rather small and lacking a view while others are more spacious with a view. The higher the floor you are on the better the chances for a bigger room and a view. It is always advisable when booking to inquire about your options. As part of the facility, there are some areas that commemorate military history with pictures, metals, books, etc. It is a great place to explore either on a single visit or when staying as a guest.
