Nice Hotel, Not so nice staff

The hotel is in a nice location for a weekend stay. There is a small harbor behind it and bars a few blocks over on Granby Street. The hotel was in good condition. One of the employees at the front desk was extremely rude to me. I dropped my car off at 11:45 PM for the valet and when I returned at 2AM it was still there. I was assured it would be moved within an hour. When I came back it was still there. I asked the lady at the desk about it and she told me they were too busy to move it and I can go park it in a public garage across the street if I want. She had no sense of customer service. Other then that this was a nice hotel for the price and about a 20 minute drive from VA Beach.

Nice Location

I booked this hotel to enjoy the Norfolk area over the weekend. Unfortunately there were 2k plus high school age kids in town for DECA. I did not appreciate the hotel not mentioning they had a large amount kids staying there this weekend and for the most part unsupervised. Low and behold, Saturday night from about mid-night until 230 AM we laid awake listening to four of the young ladies who were screaming and carrying on in the adjoining room...unsatisfactory at mulitiple levels. Otherwise the hotel was clean and pleasant, minus all the noise.

Great stay!

I have stayed at this hotel once before, and this second time around was even better! Spent New Years here. The location is perfect - I didn't have to drive anywhere. Walking distance from MacArthur Center and the bars on Granby Street so there is always something to do. Nauticus/Waterside right by the hotel. I had a beautiful view from the 23rd floor! When the light rail actually gets up and running it will be even more awesome. The only con I can think of is that you have to pay to use wireless and wired internet, and also have to pay to use the business center. But if you have a good cell phone this is not an issue.

Nice clean room, great location

We only stayed one night so we did not get a chance to experience many of the amenities. However the room was very nice and the location is great. Recommend not using the valet ($24) when there is a parking garage across the street for ($12).

Walking distance to MacArthur Center Mall (highly recommend Kincaids restaurant on first floor of the mall, expensive but food is out of this world). Also walking distance to Waterside and the bars on Granby street.

Perfect for what we were looking for

I had read reviews about this hotel and it was what I had expected from the reviews. The beds! most comfortable! check in and out easy! Did not see much of the hotel, but the lobby was beautiful. Vending/Ice area very small and would not take my dollar for a soda, but the trip to that area, provided me and my sister a very funny memory that should have been caught on tape! Our room was very nice. Whatever they clean with or freshen the room with bothered me a little but not enough to complain. The hotel met our needs perfectly.

We had a good time, hotel centrally located to shooping and dinning areas. The kids had fun in the indoor pool as well.

Heart of Downtown and near the action

The beds are very comfortable that you melt away. The location is everything with this property, it is dead middle of the action held downtown. And you are not very far from the beach, but your still close to water.

Awesome Hotel

The Norfolk Marriott Waterside was wonderful. Everything is walking distance so you don't need to rent a car. The staff was great and very fiendly. We had a water view which was spectaculary. The room was a good size and the food was wonderful. They make homemade granola...yummy! Room service was very reasonable. I totaly recommend this hotel.

There's a cool park near the water just 1 block from the hotel. There is a ferry you take and also a dinner cruise.
