I didn't like the mishandling of my daughter in law reservation. She was not notified of problems with her reservation until day of arrival which resulted in our family being separated and staying at different locations. I found that to be very unprofessional.

Disappointing condition of the room and pool area

We stayed in room 709, it was very clean, but several items were missing or damaged. Pull-out sofa was broken, which made it impossible to sleep on, TV remote was missing and TV in living room didn’t work even after asking to have it fixed, situation wasn’t resolved. There was no luggage stand to put the suitcase on, sink was clogged and carpet was damaged. The pool looked dirty and the hot tub condition was so poor that we didn’t risk using it. The bright star of the stay was our breakfast assistant DeeDee who was just amazing. Other than that, the hotel has a lot to catch up on.

Sorry stay!!

We had to come to Norfolk to visit my Dad who is in the process of passing. During my search for a place to stay, this was the closest. Our family consist of 2 adults and 1 small, well trained ShihTzu. I planned to stay for 2 days and paid for two days, but was not happy with this hotel so we left early on the second day. The room was lacking amenities' that we needed for my husbands health issues, No microwave being one, and I saw what i thought was a manager in the hall after the first night and ask about it. Was told we would have one delivered, however when I returned to the hotel that day, there was no microwave. The bed was not comfortable, the furniture was not comfortable. We left at like 5-6:00 on the second day. My husband and pet stayed in the hotel while I went to the hospital to be with my father. When i told the front clerk we were check out, he never even ask if there were any problems! But the hotel has charged me the full $691.70 for this sorry stay. Upon checking into this hotel, I told the lady I was usually a Hilton member, but did not find one close enough. She said "hopefully we can do better and your stay will be good" or something to that effect. The stay was not better, it was horrible!! And just for the record, our dog is well trained and left nothing behind in the room and does his bathroom breaks outside. Our trip home was 4 hours one way and after a stay in the hospital for 1&1/2 days, it was a ruff trip home!!

The beds were terrible -- too soft, saggy, and just worn out. We had to move rooms after 1 night because there was no hot water on the 2nd floor. The breakfast buffet was OK, but some hot food items were cold. You should add a microwave oven so guests can reheat cold food.

Traveling by myself, I was not pleased with having to park across the street from the hotel and there was an additional cost to the parking since I would need to come and go a few times. Additionally, in the evening/night there were quite a number of emergency vehicles passing by making it difficult to get to/stay asleep. For the amount I paid for the room, this is quite disappointing.
