Great location for seeing downtown Norfolk
Clean, friendly staff, perfect location for us. We ate breakfast at the restaurant on 2nd level. Very good food and service. We never had to take car out of garage. We were close enough to walk to the sights and restaurants we wanted to see (boat ride on river, museum, battleship.) very pleasant trip!

So in love
My dinning experience ess grrat
Layr night food and partying was what I needed. I love the comfort of the bed? It was hard for me to get up
The bed alone wrapped me up. I love the view from my room. I felt like I needed another day. My friend and I truly enjoyed our stay. Looking forward to my next stay.

Great restaurants
Stayed here a few times in the past but this time the rooms felt and looked run down. Holes in ceiling, carpet pulled up. Furniture was dirty. Time to redo some rooms. Room service was awful but the restaurants and service was good

Nice hotel in Norfolk
Great location near the water and within walking distance. Nice amenities including the pool. Rooms not as nice as they should have been considering it was a $400 room. Nice restaurants and bar.
