Steve....just got back last night from grandsons PIR.  We stayed at the Residence Inn. WONDERFUL.  Full kitchen, couch makes out into a bed and clean clean clean!!  Pool, gym, basketball court and in a nice business area that was close to shopping and restaurants. They also have an included full hot breakfast...eggs, taters, french toast, waffles, sausage, fruit, juice etc. Even complimentary happy hour from 530 to 7pm...beer, wine, soda and some warm food items. Only 4 miles from base and they have a shuttle if you choose not to drive.

We are staying at the Marriott Courtyard.  Stayed in plenty of them over the years and always a good place.  They also have a shuttle to the base for PIR so I can leave the rental at the hotel and avoid the security delays for parking.

We booked the Navy Lodge. You need to tell them you are there for PIR. $65 per night, no tax and very close to the base.
