For $500 plus our room was dirty, the carpet when you get off the elevator smelled and had old old stains. The furniture was dated. The worker at Starbucks seem like she didn’t want to work any day, not friendly at all. I will never stay at this hotel again.

Nice but don't bet on breakfast

Everything was great, very nice accommodations. Except, the "Bistro Breakfast" was not well explained or signed. I went to the lobby in the morning to see about 10 muffins sitting on a sad little tray and an empty coffee pot. Went back to my room too tell my hubby. When he went to the lobby, he saw the same arrangement, people sitting at tables waiting for food, no signage apparent. One employee was taking an order over the counter, then put out a placard starting which menu items could be ordered at no cost to hotel guests. I assume this arrangement works better for the hotel and wastes less time and money than a typical continental breakfast, but guests need to be informed about this procedure and employees should be present to meet the breakfast needs of the guests

Evening valet extremely rude, Night person on reception desk is unapproachable (Playing and texting on his phone) and the person at the bistro at night is literally exchanging numbers with a customer while working (as you can hear if you stay at the lobby). Maybe this is the culture in Norfolk Courtyard and other customers are Ok with it, but I don’t recommend it if one is not used to an unaccommodating stay. It is only for late evening check in but once the morning people comes the environment becomes a-lot better.

Perfectly acceptable place to stay. Decent walking distance to restaurants, and the water front. Clean and comfortable. The shower was an ADA entry, so the bathroom floor got pretty wet. Not really a big deal, they supplied plenty of towels.
