Hotel Agora is very friendly and clean. The atmosphere is great and they accommodate all the US military that are temporarily housed there when the navy lodge is full. Christian is the owner and speaks fluent english and aims to make your experience the best he can. They have happy hour daily and a weekly BBQ. There is breakfast included in the stay which has croissants, coffee, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, charcuterie/cheese, cereal, and juice. There is a small lock box in your room if you want to use it for valuables. The pool does have an associated fee (I think), but the gym is free (small, clean). The shuttle to the base was only a morning and evening run which you sign up for the night before.
We made the mistake of going to get our certificate of non-availability from the navy lodge a few days late. The lodge told us we HAD to move in since they suddenly DID have availability. We called Hotel Agora and Christian was very accommodating even though the lodge was forcing us to leave which could have hurt him and certainly inconvenienced us. Thankfully he had a waitlist so his room was filled, but we definitely wanted to stay. I would much rather be there than the lodge for two months! read more
