The only waterfront hotel in Norfolk
The Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel, an AAA Diamond Award winner, boasts an enviable address in downtown Norfolk: It is the only waterfront hotel in the city. The hotel is adjacent to Waterside Festival Marketplace and near MacArthur Center and Norfolk Tides Harbor Park. The property sets the standard for luxury with boardroom chic rooms and a lounge offering free printing, Wi-Fi and gaming services. A seasonal outdoor pool and casual seafood restaurant and bar capture serene views of the water.

Highlights
  • The only waterfront hotel in Norfolk
  • Adjacent to Waterside Festival Marketplace
  • Seasonal outdoor pool
  • Fitness center with Life Fitness machines
  • Just a short drive to the world-renowned Virginia Beach Oceanfront Boardwalk

Rooms
A multimillion dollar renovation heightened the luxury in 468 rooms and suites at the Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel. City view, suites and club rooms are practically presidential in design, bearing sharp colors like red, white and blue. Handsome piped sofas, leather chairs and wood furniture create a more traditional appeal. Balconies in some rooms take advantage of water views. Guests can access Wi-Fi for a daily fee. Bliss bath products, iPod docking stations and Sheraton Sweet Sleeper Beds enhance the rooms.

Dining

The Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel brings together harbor views with fresh seafood at City Dock Restaurant. The casual eatery is known for its crab cakes and full range of cocktails, beers and microbrews.

Recreation

The on-site fitness center has Life Fitness equipment. The seasonal outdoor pool overlooks the Norfolk Harbor and is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. Love to dine alfresco? Grab a light bite or refreshing cocktail poolside.

Broken Bed and Drunken Abuse

I'm incredibly disappointed by this hotel and its services. I checked in last night and was given a room at the club level only to find that, upon arrival, my bed was broken and laying left-to-right at a 20 degree angle. With one leg of the bed broken and laying under it. After calling and asking for a different room, I was told that there were not enough staff members to bring me a key and I would need to pack my things, come to the main lobby, and return to the club level floor for my second room. As I was walking to the hallway of the second room, I heard a high noise level with noticeable drunken partying, not muted by the thickness of these hotel walls. As it turned out, this room not only neighbored mine but was, in fact, a suite with the door between the two shut and locked. I listened to loud profanity and shouting mixed with the sound of hitting, screaming, and drunken murmurs until I called security at 3 AM. They arrived within minutes (kudos) but then left before the loud, drunken profanity aimed at "whoever called security" began...which was immediately. Things finally calmed down at 4 AM and resumed at 6 AM. For my trouble, I was given a free full breakfast - not a continental breakfast, as this already comes free with a 10th floor stay. When I arrived for my full breakfast, I asked my waiter about his favorite menu item. He recommended the buffet, which looks EXACTLY like a continental breakfast, mini cereal boxes included. My breakfast of Yoplait and granola didn't quite fill me up so at 1:19 PM I called room service. The phone rang for FIVE MINUTES. I then hung up and dialed the front desk (1:24), asking if there was a better way to contact room service. The front desk attendant transferred me to room service, where the phone rang until 1:27 and then dropped. Absolutely unacceptable. I hope the hotel management has the decency to read this and respond appropriately.

Mediocre

The name "Waterside" suggests that they are on a sandy beach, but in fact they are on a polluted river with no beach. They charge a lot for parking at this hotel, even if you are staying there. They also charge for cable Internet access. There was a power outtage while we were there.

Great Location!

This hotel is located right on the harbor. I'm sure if the season was better it would have been even better than it was.

Norfolk Sheraton

the mattress was as hard as a rock and the pillows were so flat that not even stacking all four of them was enough to keep me comfortable. and charging $10/day for internet is just crazy.
