My first time in Norfolk. It's a beautiful city and the hotel was centrally located, across from the water and easy walking to eat and shop. The restaurant in the hotel was pretty good.

The room curtains are torn/shredded and no employee has noticed?! shower area needs scrubbing and carpet needs cleaning. We requested coffee and cups which were never delivered, which was good - the coffee sucks. We reserved a king size room for 5 days and were provided two bath towels. Tissue box had six tissues pushed into the box resembling a flower but once those were used, the box was empty. It’s a good hotel but needs a makeover and better customer service. BTW, whoever decorated the elevator waiting area should have used more index cards.

Wonderful Birthday Weekend!!!

I had a wonderful time at Norfolk Waterside Marriot. I arrived early and thought I would see if I could check in a little early since it was my birthday. This absolutely wonderful front office supervisor Caroline Mann checked me in. Not only did she check me in a little early, she got me an upgrade on the room, corner room with two views of the waterside, and into the M lounge for my birthday. What a wonderful birthday gift. I will be returning next year for my birthday. Anytime I stay in Norfolk I will be staying there. Thank you AGAIN Caroline, from one Leo to another.

Great service

The service was amazing. The people were very friendly. I even locked myself out of my room and the front desk was very helpful. The hotel was clean, parking garage was easy to get in and out of. The restruarant had fast and friendly service. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Good Hotel, so so restaurant

Staff was friendly and efficient. I don't like the not making the room up, they missed it on day 2. But room was large, bed okay, having a desk with outlets was awesome for a road warrior. The restaurant was a different story, service was rotten. The wait staff were standing in the back behind a wall talking and did not bother to poke there head out to see if anyone was waiting. The menu was pricey and limited.After waiting a few minutes, I walked back and asked them if I should seat myself. I had the salmon and it was excellent.

Good Stay

We booked a river view room two months in advance but were given a room facing the parking deck. They had no other rooms available. Also, you would think with how much we pay for the room that breakfast would be included. But overall we enjoyed our stay. The staff were great and the room was spotless. We will continue to book this hotel.

Great place to stay for events at Waterside and an easy safe walk to The Norva. I scored this for a little less than the courtyard price and it came with a better location and water view. Pro tip: Self Park directly across the street but don’t forget to scan your room key!
