This is definitely a disappointment. Sure isn’t worth the price. Trash piled up in hall all day and night. Cans over flowing outside main entrance. Enough trash lining the front of the building to fill a truck bed. Go to walk up the stairs inside and I look down and see aluminum foil with some sort of substance that you could tell was cooked in the foil. Total disappointment.

The property is around a few longer term stay suites, lots of stores and shopping areas nearby that are walkable. The hotel is exactly average and what I was looking for. The room was clean enough and the amenities were great, it’s pet friendly too which is a bonus. Absolutely screams Virgina.

It was a horrible service from check-in to Check-out. Me and my family arrived Friday evening to check-in well none of the reservations paper work was printed out so we had to wait okay no big deal. We get to the room well key card did not work so we had to go back down the to service desk to get that situated. At that point we were tired and hungry so the front desk attendant express they will have it fix when we get back. We get back around 10pm and our key card still was not operational, we had to go back down at this point we were really tired and sleepy so the front desk attendant had to use his master card to let us in for tonight. Get up the next morning (Saturday) still no key card operational, we endure this the whole stay. Property manger had to hook up a computer just to open the door for each time we need to leave the property. Didn’t get ask to move to another room til Saturday night which we were to exhaust to move anll our belongings and we had an 5am flight Sunday morning. This was a very inconvenience for me and my family. Room 302 needs a major upgrade to that room. I pray they take that room off line until they are able to fix the door. I will never recommend this property to anyone.

I would not stay again
Trying to get in contact directly was awful. It didnt happen. You all had to email them after trying to make phone contact. Our room smelled like mildew. We opened the window to help. Paint was peeling in the bathroom. There was no toilet paper initially. It needs a refresh. Pull up the carpet and start over. I would not stay again. The staff was professional and attentive in person. No complaints about them.

Check In was supposed to be 3 pm but our room wasn’t clean until almost 9. Evening staff were not good. The lady working the desk told me to go out and find a manger who was smoking on his break and ask him about the room taking so long instead of her checking with house keeping. Rooms were suitable and comfortable but after a 10 Hour drive we didn’t want to Wait 6 hours in a lobby for a clean room that I booked and paid for 8 months earlier

Way. way , way over priced
This place is convenient to downtown Norfolk.....but I could and should have paid the same price and stayed downtown. The place is old, decorated old, feels old......tv's from the 90's, alarm clocks with no ports for plugging in phone....it's 2023 and felt like 2003 in that place. You can tell that ownership invests NOTHING in that property

There is absolutely no way to get help with your room booked through Expedia. We were delayed due to weather which I don't control. The folks at the hotel told me my room would cancel since I couldn't be there so it was my problem to find another place to stay.

I wish that I would have read the negative reviews before I booked. The first issue was the phone. I called before we checked in and no answer. When I arrived the front desk attendant said that when it rained that week it knocked the phones out and they were waiting on the repairman. (We stayed two days and we still had to go downstairs for trash bags and toilet tissue) When we got off the elevator to go to our room, it was extremely humid in the hallway with a mildew smell. Our room had a lot of patchwork done. There were missing tiles in the bathroom and the sink water ran real slow. The bathroom door looked as if it had been punched and they just painted over it. The good points were the bed was comfortable and the shower water was hot.

The third floor had a nasty odor.The hotel seemed like a refurbished hotel. They assuredly need the rugs replaced. They are stinky and smelly. No bath towels supplied I had to request 3x .my room had a kitchen with no silverware and coffee cups that didn't fit the coffee machine. So for the price of the room to me it wasn't worth it. The only good thing was it's convenience to military highway a main highway. But the man who checked me in was very nice

This is one of the best properties in the area. The rooms are spacious, clean and well stocked. The manager and staff are fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel for business travelers as most people here are workers and military. The imposed quiet time is great. The kitchen features are great for longer stays. I have stayed here twice while in transition and would definitely recommend to anyone and will be recommending to my friends and family traveling to the area.
