Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Norfolk Airport by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Norfolk Airport by IHG

8/10 Good
"The service folks managing the food was very helpful. The front desk young lady that checked me in was very helpful. A couple of issues: 1. The tv did not have good reception on local changes and a couple would not come in at all 2. The bathtub would not drain properly and you could not retrieve cold water, resulting in warmer showers 3. Toilet would not consistently flush, without continuing to run. The room was very nice."

Families, in particular, find these months ideal, aligning perfectly with school holidays for a relaxed beach vacation.
