Would have been nice if two of the four elevators worked. Always a hassle and wait for an elevator. Plus the bed needed upgraded. Very uncomfortable.

We appreciate your feedback, it was quite frustrating for each one of our guests having to wait for longer than expected times for the elevators Thank you for your patience and empathy. We will be using this information for our future planning to make our hotel progress in the right direction.

I stayed here as a quiet getaway on a night I had a migraine. The air freshener they use in the rooms was awful and overpowering and made my head worse. But the worst happened while I was throwing up in the toilet and the ceiling above me started pouring some sort of water right onto my head!! It flooded the bathroom and was a large growing bubble in the ceiling of water damage with water just steady pouring down. I immediately packed up all my stuff and checked out. The manager said he would refund my room, but I will have to just wait and see if that happens. It’s been two days so it might still. I will never be staying here again. I expected a great deal more from a Marriott.

Hello, we are very saddened to hear about your experience here in downtown Norfolk. Your reservation has been refunded in full and we will be following up with our leadership team to ensure this type of thing does not happen again. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we go through this process. We hope to possibly have a second opportunity to have a better impression if you return to the area.

Overall the room was really nice and clean! Staying in the downtown Norfolk area was really convenient and everything was within walking distance. The parking garage had a reasonable daily price. The downsides, we had to request a remote because there wasn’t one in the room, the original iron that was in the room did not work and neither did the second iron we requested. There was a hole in the top blanket on the bed and the ottoman was broken. We also thought it was strange not to have a microwave in the room.

We had to walk 18 flights of stairs because the elevator was not working. Then kids was running and yelling in the halls for several hrs. The last thing was the AC was not working in our room. Very unhappy with this hotel and I will not be back.

I have stayed in this facility several times during my daughter’s college tenure at ODU. The grand entryway at this hotel was magnificent. I was so disappointed when I entered and saw it had been replaced by a white wall during renovations. The sheer beauty of this hotel was completely ruined by the renovations and I will probably never stay here again. So very disappointed.
