I liked the location in downtown Norfolk, which was 10 minutes from the Old Dominion campus. The hotel is also very close to Granby Street which has several good restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk. The room was clean and comfortable. The lobby has a small Starbucks and is very bright and open. The staff was welcoming. The parking was either valet or there is a parking ramp which is conveniently attached to the hotel. We used the $33/night valet service the first nights until we got our bearings. The ramp was $13/night. We were happy with our stay.

Get new sliding doors for bathrooms.

We really disliked the glass door for the bathroom. We always leave bathroom light on during the night, but close the door most of the way. Through the tinted glass door our room was then MUCH too bright during the night. Also, mattress was just okay.

Close to the Chrysler event location Nice restaurants within walking distance from the hotel. Don't forget to ask about "Fred", a free shuttle service provided by the City of Norfolk. We tipped the driver of course; who was a very knowledgeable man extremely good at his job who shared points of interest about the City on our ride.

Great hotel and location for a business trip

I stayed overnight on a business trip. I had a few challenges checking in - it seemed their card reader couldn’t read my cards. After that snafu, I found the hotel to be nice, clean and quiet. The hotel was in a good location just a short walk to my meeting. Looking out my window I noticed a little waterfront district, and it was a nice place to spend some time that evening. It was a little tricky to find it, but I had a nice breakfast in the restaurant the next morning. Overall, a great stay.

Overall, it was just okay. The bathroom door was the hardest door to slide open and shut. We had to use our entire body to move it. My grandma barely could at all. We continually had to ask for towels for 4 people after housekeeping came in even though they knew 4 people were staying. The middle console between the beds didn’t work for the first 3 nights and then suddenly it did. The staff were friendly and the hotel was clean. The rooms were quiet at night. We liked that there were many options within walking distance from the hotel for food.
