The story

The building was dedicated in 1924 as the Armed Services YMCA, offering lodging and recreation, and it hosted tens of thousands of service members within months of opening. It served that role for decades in the Navy town. It was redeveloped and reopened in 2019 as The Guild, a 162-room Marriott Tribute Portfolio hotel.
