The hotel offers spacious rooms with a large bathroom, barrier-free shower, and beds of the right height, boasting a nice view of the waterfront. The service was stellar, with professional, courteous, and very responsive staff who tended to our needs promptly. However, the location was not ideal, lacking cleanliness and being situated in Norfolk. The dining experience, although not included in the price, featured delightful homemade jams. The facilities were up to standard, enhancing the overall stay.

I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The room had a nice view of the waterfront, being a corner king room with a breathtaking downtown view. The room was very comfortable, equipped with a large barrier-free shower and beds of the right height. The service was exceptional with professional, courteous, and responsive staff, though they were unable to honor our request. The location was convenient with overall cleanliness. The dining experience was not included in the price, which was surprising, and the early closing time was a downside. The facilities were modern and well-maintained.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with a stunning view of the waterfront from my corner king room. The rooms were spacious, modern, and had a large bathroom with a barrier-free shower, making it very convenient. The service was exceptional, with professional and responsive staff. The location in downtown Norfolk was not only clean but also provided a great overall experience. Dining options were limited in terms of timing, and the price did not include some surprises, but my overall stay was comfortable and enjoyable.
