Our stay was just ok. Sadly, the property has not been maintained to a high standard. The refrigerator in our room did not work. Even after maintenance came and told us it was fixed, it still did not work. The area under the sink in our bathroom was filthy. I dropped my contact case and it fell under the sink. When I looked under the sink to retrieve it, I saw an old toothbrush and other debris. We used to stay at this hotel years ago and have such fond memories. This trip was a disappointment. The renovations that have been done took away much of the hotel’s delightful character.

Get new sliding doors for bathrooms.

We really disliked the glass door for the bathroom. We always leave bathroom light on during the night, but close the door most of the way. Through the tinted glass door our room was then MUCH too bright during the night. Also, mattress was just okay.

Close to the Chrysler event location Nice restaurants within walking distance from the hotel. Don't forget to ask about "Fred", a free shuttle service provided by the City of Norfolk. We tipped the driver of course; who was a very knowledgeable man extremely good at his job who shared points of interest about the City on our ride.

Great hotel and location for a business trip

I stayed overnight on a business trip. I had a few challenges checking in - it seemed their card reader couldn’t read my cards. After that snafu, I found the hotel to be nice, clean and quiet. The hotel was in a good location just a short walk to my meeting. Looking out my window I noticed a little waterfront district, and it was a nice place to spend some time that evening. It was a little tricky to find it, but I had a nice breakfast in the restaurant the next morning. Overall, a great stay.
