Can you assist me with hotel reservations?
If you are a Navy Reservist attending a course using AT/ADT orders, the GMATS will arrange your lodging for you. Navy Reservists are not permitted to make their own lodging arrangements or to make changes to their lodging due to our MOA with the Navy Reserve.
Civilians attending a GMATS course will find Lodging Requests on page 3 of the registration form. Place your lodging request, in order of preference, on the registration form and GMATS will endeavor to fill your request. On the first day of the course, you will be expected to pay GMATS for your lodging along with the tuition.

What about meals?
Most hotels offer a continental breakfast. Also, there are plenty of eateries along the way to the school for those that wish to pick something up.
Lunch is served in the Upper Deck Dining Room which is located on campus. The lunch includes multiple hot entrees, soup, salad bar, carving station, dessert bar. Since the USMMA campus is located approximately 1 ½ miles from the nearest food store it is recommended that students order lunch. You will be asked on the first day of class if you wish to order the lunch plan. Once you order the plan we will NOT be able to refund any unused portion of the plan. If you opt not to order the lunch plan you may go into town. (The Seafarer Canteen is open at lunch for USMMA Faculty and Staff only)
Dinner is served in Upper Deck Dining Room when we have a minimum of 20 students request dinner. Students staying on campus may eat in the Seafarer Canteen on a pay as you go basis.
