“The property stands out for its direct connection to the Waterside Convention Center and on-site dining, including an Italian steakhouse; it also has an indoor pool and a well-equipped gym for guest use. I found the hotel ideally suited to business travelers attending events, and the location puts guests steps away from shopping and local dining. In my opinion, it's a solid choice for those seeking convenience and comfort in downtown Norfolk.”
