I'll try this again .......
Naval Amphibious Base, Coronado, CA
http://ngis.dodlodging.net/propertys/Coronado-NAB----San-Diego-CA
The Phib Base is near and dear to
my heart. As a brand-new ensign I spent
4 months there in late 1974 as a student at the brand-new Surface Warfare
Officer School. And over the next 20
years of my naval career I stayed here dozens of times, and even now I still
get there on occasion.
My last visit there was in October
2013. I was lucky enough to get a Suite
in B/504 (what was the BOQ in those days):
the Neptune Suite, Room 935, looking south. The 9th floor is the top floor, and the view
is fantastic with a complete ocean view !!
(Amazingly enough, as an ensign I was in room 435 ..... it took me 39
years to finally work my way to the top floor).
The
setup for the Suite is you get 2 side-by-side rooms: they cut/created a door in the wall between
two rooms. So one room is the bedroom
& bath, the other room is a living room, and that bath has been converted
into a tiny "kitchen."
The
bedroom has a very small "dining area" w/ table & 2 chairs. with There
is also a small desk (I used that for my laptop). There was a hospitality basket of welcome
goodies on the table.
Each
room has floor-to-ceiling glass to the exterior: one is a window pane, the other is a sliding
glass door. Each room opens onto a
balcony, and in this case, both balconies are connected.
There
was free WiFi, kinda/sorta slow.
Outside,
there is actually a designated Parking Place for the Neptune Suite if you want
to use it.
The
rooms in B/504 face south or north (view of the city/Glorietta Bay/Pt Loma).
There is another former-BOQ
building (I don't know the number), the rooms of which face either west (ocean
view) or east (city view). The
west-facing (ocean view) is spectacular (I have included a few pictures below).
