Have not seen any reviews on this lodge so here goes. First of all you have to be active duty, retired, DOD, or a dependent of of these mentioned to use this facility. San Diego Naval Base is extremely large base. The lodge is located near the new Base Exchange (BX), new commissary and new strip mall. It is a three minute walk to these places. Additionally the lodge is located at the 32nd Street gate entrance. You need military ID to get on the base. If you fly into San Diego and not planning on renting a car you can go to the USO at the airport. They can provide you with shuttle service to the base. If you are active duty it is free. If not it is 10 dollars a person. Not a bad deal. Once you arrive at the base you can take trolley outside the gate. It can take you downtown, uptown, and even to Tijuana (not recommended). You can buy an all day pass that is good for the trolley's and Metro buses. The transportation in San Diego is excellent.
