Shelby at guest services is remarkable and a fantastic representative of this facility. I've stayed here for years and more than ever this tax season; she made it feel like home like no other. Thank you!

The property I stated charged my card after I already paid through Expedia I into the room on the 23rd checked out the 25th and I still have $470 on hold. I was in town for my father’s funeral and already had enough going on then had to leave with no money because the Marriott has a hold on my card that should’ve never been there

The only compliant I have is that I had booked several months in advance and requested a king bed and was given a room with two queens. I was disappointed with that being changed.

Thank you for choosing the Newport News Marriott City Center hotel for your stay once again. As a General Manager, there is no greater praise to have a guest return because they love the staff, location, amenities and everything else our hotel has to offer. Our associates work exceptionally hard to go above and beyond to for every single guest that walks through our doors. We sincerely thank you for your business and look forward to welcoming you back soon to the Newport News Marriott City Center.

Nice spacious room. Good location & close to a variety of shoppes and reservation. One issue is that the maintenance workers were unable to light the fire pit which was a huge disappointment for us.

Thank you for choosing the Newport News Marriott City Center and your gracious feedback. I am glad you found the hotel clean and comfortable, up to date and ideally situated in City Center. There is so much to see and do, it is hard to fit it all in on one visit. From Hampton Roads historical sites, museum district and art galleries to trying some of the trendy restaurants and night spots, our Downtown is impressive. Thank you again for choosing Newport News Marriott at City Center and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back soon.

The first 25 spaces are reserved for "Valet" and when I asked for my car to be valeted, the desk clerk said "We don't valet." It felt unsafe to be walking deep into the the parking garage for items needed from the car. An employee at the hotel entrance just said "Hello" and didn't open the door for two older women struggling with bags and poorly maintained baggage cart. The cleaning staff was on our floor for hours with large trash bags and towels littering the hall. Each time we needed ice or vending machines they were lined up and down our hall obtrusively talking and working-It seemed the only floor with guests was our floor. Usually cleaning staff should be done by 4pm when we were checking in but they worked for hours before and after.
