Elevators in the facility and in the parking garage need cleaning. One of the bartenders did not acknowledge me when I sat down. Perk about the property is the close proximity to the Elizabeth River Ferry stop.

The rooms were clean and each overlooks the Elizabeth River towards Norfolk's waterside which was beautiful at night. The restaurant food was delicious and all staff was pleasant and helpful. The hotel isn't in an area where there weren't any undesirable folks hanging around si it felt very safe to walk around at night.

Room was clean & comfortable. The food in the restaurant at dinner was delicious and the breakfast buffet was as well. The view from all rooms was absolutely beautiful, overlooking the Elizabeth River and the hotels on the water in Norfolk. At night they're all lit with neon lights and look magical.
