We stayed at the Norfolk Waterside Marriott on May 26, 2012. We used a free night certificate for a category 1-4 hotel. We are Platinum category for the Marriott Rewards program, so we were able to get a waterfront corner room on the 23rd floor. The view was wonderful. As with most downtown hotels of any brand, the rooms are... More

Stayed here for a disaster response conference. The front desk staff were just terrific, and I found the same general good vibe throughout the hotel, from bellboys to banquet staff. My corner room was very well decorated and included a comfortable desk, and a cute and comfortable chair and ottoman. I ordered an amazing crab cake dinner from Shula's via... More

Very nice lobby, excellent conference facilities, well kept rooms, nicely equipped gym, great indoor pool with excellent hot tubs (yes, multiple open air hot tubs with a view of the harbor!). My only complaint would be that the elevators were a little slow to respond, but that is very minor. I will stay here again when in Norfolk!

Time got the best of me and in the day of saving money, I was able to book this hotel through Priceline's "Name Your Own Price" for $100. I really needed a hotel in downtown Norfolk for a graduation I planned on attending. For the price, I am still wondering how in the world did I get this view? We... More

I have stayed in several hotels lately and this one is the best I've stayed in. The staff is super friendly and so helpful! The beds are comfortable and the rooms really clean! It's centrally located and within walking distance to several restaurants and Center Mall. I would stay here again! The only complaint I have is the breakfast buffet.... More

I came to Norfolk for a business convention last minute. It was being held at this hotel. When I saw that the convention rates were no longer available, I looked at regular rates. I found that they "romantic package" was cheaper than the standard package. So, I booked it. I didn't care about the extras, just the cost reduction in... More

Thank you for your wonderful comments about your recent stay. As you found out with our romance package, we are always running specials with discounted room rates for our guests. There is a room renovation scheduled by the year end to help with the dated look of the rooms. It may not always be chocolate dipped strawberries and champagne, but... More

I spent a whole summer here back in 2010 so this review is overdue but I really would like to show my appreciation to the ladies who work the front desk.

Great location within walking distance of the city offices, courts and various govt agencies. Shula's restaurant and bar is nice but is the only facility on the property. Try the crabcake sandwich! Short walk to upscale mall, marina, Nauticus maritime museum and other attractions including the MacArthur Memorial. Town Point Park is also a short walk for outdoor festivals and... More

The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Ask for a room with a view. Very few rooms with King beds have Bay views. The front desk staff were courteous and kind.
