I was sorely disappointed to learn that despite the claim on the website, a shuttle to the airport was not, in fact, available. I was also disappointed to learn that there was no designated area to exercise. Both of these facts will prevent me from booking here in the future.

Can’t wait to stay again!

If I could have snuck the mattress out and into my car, I would’ve. It was that comfortable. The staff were super friendly and helpful, especially the young woman who was on the late evening shift. The breakfast is “continental”, but there were still plenty of options. There is a coffee station in the lobby, available 24/7. The room was immaculate, and the shower/tub combo was pristine. We’re already making plans to stay again. The only 2 negatives are that because they aren’t on the main street of town, there aren’t many food options. But, there are plenty one block over. The other thing is that you can’t turn left into the property-NOT THEIR FAULT. You just have to make a u-turn just a few buildings down. And you can’t beat the price!

ALL STAFF WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. FACILITY WAS VERY CLEAN, NEW, AND BRIGHT. CONSIDERING THE LOW PRICE OF THE ROOM, THE COMPLIMENTARY CONTINENTAL STYLE BRKFST AND COFFEE (SEEMINGLY ON TAP 24/7!) WAS GREAT. THERE WERE MULTIPLE RESTAURANTS IN WALKING DISTANCE AND A GROCERY STORE. I WAS TAKING CLASSES AT LITTLE CREEK NAVAL BASE. IF I AM BACK IN TOWN AGAIN IN THIS AREA I WOULD DEFINTIELY STAY HERE AGAIN. IT IS ALSO A REASONABLE DISTANCE FROM BEACH ACCESS LOCATIONS.

Basic hotel worth considering

1 night stay on a quick trip through Norfolk. Hotel was clean, and staff was nice and professional. Our room (325) was huge. The beds were comfortable. We didn’t eat breakfast there but did look. All carb-laden and quick stuff…fruit, cereal, bagels, muffins. Overall a good stay and we would return if we were in the area again.

Ice machine location

Ok. But, since they only had one ice machine on the 2nd floor, signs posted would have been nice indicating that. I was on third floor, no machine after walking entire corridor, elevator to first floor, was told ice was on the second floor. Elevator to second floor, got ice, elevator back to third floor. Also, it was raining when I arrived. NO access to front door due to design. Park on sides . Room and beds were nice and comfortable. Would stay again if and when in area.
