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.

I got the wrong room. I paid for river view and got partial view. The bathroom was awful. It had a tub that was peeling and a the tub stop was broken.

Overall, it was just okay. The bathroom door was the hardest door to slide open and shut. We had to use our entire body to move it. My grandma barely could at all. We continually had to ask for towels for 4 people after housekeeping came in even though they knew 4 people were staying. The middle console between the beds didn’t work for the first 3 nights and then suddenly it did. The staff were friendly and the hotel was clean. The rooms were quiet at night. We liked that there were many options within walking distance from the hotel for food.

We had a wonderful stay. The hotel was beautiful. We stayed in a Riverview suite on the 18th floor. The room was clean and well maintained. The rain head shower, hot water and water pressure was on point!!! We found the bed to be extremely comfortable. Room service has some great options on the menu. I’d personally recommend the personal pan pizzas! The indoor pool is on the 6th floor with beautiful views through the glass vaulted ceiling. Water was cool, but quickly became comfortable. We were here Labor Day weekend 2025, but the pool was mostly empty when we used it. Lots of dining and shopping options on the area. The breakfast was included in our stay (as an add on we purchased while booking our stay). Lots of options including an omelette bar. Check-in and check-out was fast and smooth. All of the staff were polite and professional. We will definitely be back again!! Thank you.
