Jan 2012 visit

Only one night 's stay, but better than our last hotel in Norfolk. Large and pleasant room with two queen beds. Not a busy occupant night, so quiet, except for the light rail commuter train outside on the street adjacent to our room that rang bells till 11pm and started up at 5:45am. Small cafe had some decent offerings for breakfast and supper - affordable but not extensive. Valet parking needed: $18/day.

Great location

The staff was friendly and anticipated our needs. It is just a short walk to the Norva theater and the room was a great value for such a nice place!

Terrible Experience

When I arrived at the Hotel, there were at least 20 people in line to check in and there was only one person at the front desk. It took over 45 minutes to check in. We requested a king bed with a sofa bed but we were given a handicap room. When we asked for a room change we waited for over an hour for the front desk to get back with us. For the long wait the manager only offerded us a bottled water for our inconvenience. When we checked out we were billed by the hotel for the room to my credit card although I had already paid through Orbitz. Overall, it was not a pleasant experience and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Norfolk Night Out

Decent; hotel, wish they had a complimentary breakfast. Room was nice and clean, bed was comfortable, but room was a little cramped. Horrible view over business parking lot from our room. Great location for shopping as it is directly across the street from the MacArthur Center. Close to Granby Street's bars, restaurants, clubs, and other touristy venues but your lady will not want to make that walk in heels, make sure she brings her Old Navy flip-flops or those little slip-on flats that fit in a purse. Parking is $18 by valet only so with in-and-outs you'll need a view extra $$$ for the tip. They have a great indoor swimming pool area, probably the best I've seen a non 5-star hotel. Our toilet broke to where we had to lift the tank lid to force it to flush. When I reported it during check-out the front desk immediately comped my parking fee.

It worked for us

We were in Norfolk for a family reunion. The hotel was less than a mile from the festivities and it served us well.

Great Location !!

Easy and fast check in, great valet service but a little pricey. The room was nice and clean , the bathroom was quite nice. The location is fantastic really close to the Mall, restaurants and harbor. The only thing that we didn't like was the bed, it was wayyyy too soft, we were sinking and then my back was sore next day.

Best Staff and great location

The staff couldn't be more friendly or helpful. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the location was near the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters, where our son was scheduled for outpatient surgery.We were also impressed with the beauty and cleanliness of downtown Norfolk. We'll be back next year for my son's yearly recheck. The only negatives were scratchy towels and tissues,but having the sink area in a separate room outside the bathroom more than made up for this. It allowed us to get ready while family members took turns in the shower.

There's a beautiful mall with great stores just a short walk from the hotel. The Machismo Mexican restaurant, also near the hotel, was very good.

Go to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens. It is a beautiful place and there is a good chance you will get to see a bald eagle!
