Navy Exchange Service Command’s (NEXCOM) Navy Lodge Program recently finished renovating and updating several of its properties. Navy Lodge Naples, Italy, updated its outdoor terrace; Navy Lodge Gulfport, Miss., renovated its guest rooms and Navy Lodge Whidbey Island and Navy Lodge Bangor, Wash., each renovated its lobby and guests rooms.

“In all, the Navy Lodge Program invests several million dollars each year on property resets to ensure our guests have an updated, clean and comfortable stay when away from home,” said Christopher Settelen, Vice President, NEXCOM’s Navy Lodge Program. “Our aim is to renovate each of our 39 worldwide Navy Lodge properties every five years. We want our guests to feel like our Navy Lodge offers them their home away from home.”

Navy Lodge room renovations normally include new furniture, carpet and flooring, bathrooms, kitchens, closets, working areas and more. Lobby renovations included a new front desk and breakfast bar with seating area as well as new furniture, carpet, paint, lighting and signage.

Navy Lodges feature oversized guest rooms and family suites with onsite amenities such as vending machines, laundry area and workout room and children’s outside play area. Navy Lodges also offer guests free Wi-Fi and breakfast. Every Navy Lodge is accessible.
