My room smelled like smoke and that smell was in the linens as well. I became sick even after getting fresh linens. There were also alot of strange noises from the A/C unit that made it very difficult to relax as well. Customers service was good.

I liked the location in downtown Norfolk, which was 10 minutes from the Old Dominion campus. The hotel is also very close to Granby Street which has several good restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk. The room was clean and comfortable. The lobby has a small Starbucks and is very bright and open. The staff was welcoming. The parking was either valet or there is a parking ramp which is conveniently attached to the hotel. We used the $33/night valet service the first nights until we got our bearings. The ramp was $13/night. We were happy with our stay.
