My family and I attended a graduation in Norfolk, VA and stayed at the Marriott for 2 nights. I was very apprenhensive to stay here because the brand itself is not that great. I was pleasantly surprised that it was a clean and updated property. Our room was on the 19th floor overlooking the water. It was a gorgeous view... More

When I walked in and discovered that this hotel was in the midst of a remodel, I panicked. I stayed in a Toronto hotel undergoing remodeling recently and that was a nightmare. But the fact that they were remodeling was simply not obvious and certainly caused me no problems at all. This is a very nice hotel in a great... More

This was my second stay here. The hotel is clean and well maintained as would be expected from a Marriott flagged hotel. The staff were friendly at both the hotel and the onsite Shula's restaurant. Although in town for business I did explore a little. There are a number of nearby restaurants, light rail, a waterfront walk, the Naval museum,... More

Wife and I spent the Memorial weekend in Downtown Norfolk. Excellent location and within walking distance to the waterfront, downtown restaurants, museums and McArthur Mall (best one in the area).

Stayed here for business. Normal Marriott, but you can't beat the location. Lots of places to eat with in a short walk. Mall 2 blocks away, water across the street. Food for events is rather expensive.

This is a nice hotel, comfortable & clean & well located. However, there is a $ 10.00 daily fee for WiFi. I think that is pretty sad in view of the fact that Holiday Inn Express & Hampton Inns both offer free WiFi. Anything to gouge a customer, I guess. Anyway, it leaves me with a bad Impression in an...
