We enjoyed every restaurant. Parking was convenient and only $18.00 a day. All the restaurants had great food and good Happy Hour specials. The river view we had was nice. The location is convenient as well. There are also some great restaurants and bars nearby. We attended a concert at NORVA and that was about a three minute walk. I would love to stay a couple more weeks but I couldn't get the govt per diem rate anymore. Some additional pros: Clean hotel, not stingy with waters, $15.00 daily credit (30 for a couple), lite breakfast in lounge, amenities for Empyrean rooms, happy hour specials in lounge, lite dinner in lounge, free pool table at Grain, awesome bartenders who give good recommendations. Front desk personnel are helpful! Some cons: hit or miss service in lounge, drinks can be expensive, no microwave in lounge, no microwave in rooms, cold food in lounge.

The Main was a Christmas fairyland when we walked in for Thanksgiving dinner at one of their…read morerestaurants. Even though I normally think Christmas decorations & music belong after Thanksgiving, the beauty of The Main made me feel quite differently. The Main is a Hilton property located as named, on Main Street in downtown Norfolk, it's in easy walking distance to the Norfolk Harbor, Waterside, Nauticus, Half Moone Cruise Terminal, Battleship USS Wisconsin & the Spirit of Norfolk. In addition to the wonderful restaurants in the hotel, you'll find restaurant & theater row on Granby Street. The Norfolk Tide light rail line will take you to much more. The most convenient parking is Valet, which they do extremely well. When you exit the vehicle your attendant points out a different path to pick up your car. A checkout desk offers the ability to do add your tip to the charge. This eliminates a last minute scrambling for cash. The experience couldn't have been smoother. I'm a Hilton person. This property is Hilton at its finest.

The king bed was comfortable if a bit soft and the duvet is a bit thin. Sometimes we were cold. The bathroom was clean, but the window in the bathroom doesn't have a room darkening shade, and the bathroom door is frosted glass, so there is a lot of light shiny through. The omelette at the breakfast restaurant was good. There is a delightful free museum of glass adjacent. Gym: had one non- working treadmill and 3 working. It has bikes and a few weights too. Water cups are plastic. This should be changed to something biodegradable Problems : There was not one day that didn't have a significant issue. The least of these was rude or incomplete service, likely based in either poor training or ignorance or both The greatest issues concerned housekeeping. A lack of TOWELS --yes, that's right--meant every day we either had to beg for towels or not shower. The shower leaked onto the floor ( door seal insufficient) so keeping a towel for more than one day wasn't an option as the puddle needed sopping up so the sink could be accessed Gregg, a manager, tried very hard to fix issues. Even with him promising, we still had issues. Because of Gregg's efforts this review is a 2 star instead of a 1 star. Look at my reviews and you will see I very rarely give low ratings Compliments to Adrienne ( front desk who was friendly and helpful with some printing jobs) and Gregg for good service

The location is truly incredible, right in downtown Norfolk with easy access to the waterfront and so much within walking distance. That said, I was a bit disappointed with the vibe on my last visit this past weekend. I was expecting more of a true refresh or "facelift," but it still feels like the property needs additional updates to fully match its potential and prime location. During my stay, there were also noticeable maintenance issues, including an escalator that wasn't working, peeling wallpaper, chipped paint, doors not locking, sheets with makeup stains, and areas that felt generally dated. As for parking I suggest using the paid lots, though they do offer valet. Overall, it's still a solid hotel in an unbeatable location, staff was friendly, check in was a breeze. I would stay again for the convenience and nostalgia alone, but I'd really love to see a more thoughtful, comprehensive remodel to truly bring it up to its full potential.

The room was clean, nicely appointed, offered great storage, and included a decent (although limited) complimentary breakfast (a nice perk). Self-parking was conveniently located directly across the street and was reasonably priced at a fixed daily rate with unlimited in-and-out privileges. Staff members were friendly, professional, and accommodating. Overall, our stay was good. The only area for improvement would be requiring key card access for elevators to hotel room floors as an extra measure to enhance guest safety. I would recommend it to visitors to the Norfolk area.

I recently stayed at the Residence Inn Norfolk Downtown and unfortunately my experience did not…read morematch the expectations I have for a Marriott property -- especially for the price I paid. At around $300 per night, I expected a much higher level of quality and comfort. When we first entered the room, there was a very strong and unpleasant odor. Maintenance had to come and spray Lysol and ZEP to try to eliminate the smell. We ended up opening the windows and the door to air the room out, which eventually helped, but that is not something guests should have to do upon arrival. There were also several maintenance and cleanliness issues in the room. The closet door would not slide properly, the carpet had visible stains, and the bed sheets had a noticeable stain and were wrinkled. The comforters also appeared worn and not very clean, and the sofa looked old and stained as well. While the kitchen area appeared to be cleaned, the rest of the room definitely needed more attention. Another inconvenience was that only one elevator was working. A gentleman who stays there often mentioned that the second elevator had reportedly been out of service for about two months. The breakfast was mediocre at best -- nothing particularly impressive. On a positive note, the staff was friendly and the lobby and hallways were nice and clean, which made the condition of the rooms even more disappointing. Overall, I expected much more from a Marriott property at this price point. The hotel has potential, but the guest rooms need significantly more attention to cleanliness, maintenance, and upkeep.

The front desk was understaffed but the lady working was handling everything like superwoman. The night we checked in, it was 15 mins before the bistro closed at so I brought the luggage to the room and came back down right at 10:00 and they had already turned off their machines. The lady saw my pregnant belly and made me something anyway! In the morning we were given free breakfast vouchers which allows for a free entree and Starbucks drink at the Bistro. The room itself was clean and pretty standard for Marriott. I love pumping up the AC in hotels and usually I noticed some hotels limit how low or high you can make the AC but not here! The room was freezing and it was amazing.

The hotel shares a parking lot with Walgreens which came in super handy because my husband came down with a terrible head cold, so we had to buy every decongestant and cough medicine known to mankind. We walked to Walmart across the street to buy our cases of soda and bottles of wine to carry on to the ship. I forgot my belt for the formal night and found one for $10 at a women's clothing store in the same area, but we could have walked to TJ Max too. There's a Chick Fil A and a Target across the street too. We were happy about the 24 hr coffee and hot water which we needed for Theraflu and Emergen-C. Room was super clean. Had a mini fridge and microwave. We didn't make it to breakfast only because we were zonked from our red-eye flight and the sleep disrupting cough. All of the staff were incredibly courteous and professional. The Lyft ride, for a midsize vehicle to fit all of our luggage, to the port was $13. I would definitely recommend.

You might think that they are noisy with planes constantly flying overhead, but that is not the case. I usually look for them because they are usually reasonably priced with good amenities. Hampton Inn always has the features we like and this one in Norfolk is no exception. Upon check-in, we were given a room at the end of the hall on the 2nd floor. It turns out the hotel wasn't too full and we were upgraded to a large junior suite! Our very comfortable suite was easily 600-700 sq ft vs a regular 250-300 sq ft room and was long enough to have two windows facing the street. There is a wet bar area by the entrance with sink, refrigerator, coffee machine & microwave. Behind that was a large closet and a separate bathroom sink area outside of the shower/bathtub/toilet room. A king-size bed, 52" HDTV, desk and pull-out sleeper couch filled up the rest of the room. There are plenty of outlets & USB ports conveniently located on the desk and nightstands to charge all your phones, earpods, watches, ipads and laptops. The TV was even mounted on a swing-out mount so that you can see it properly from either the couch or in bed. The WiFi was adequate but you had to sometimes reenter your info to login. Breakfast served from 6am-10am everyday was adequate, though other Hamptons have better spreads. The one chafing tray with 3 compartments usually had scrambled eggs or omelet, sausage or bacon and home fried potatoes or biscuits and gravy. Get some toast or a bagel with fresh fruit, juice and you're all set for the day. The all-day coffee carafes are located in the lobby by the elevators though, not in the breakfast area. You can also enjoy a hot, fresh made Belgian Waffle from the DIY waffle irons, with a full size and a 4 mini iron. If you're on the run, the staff sets out quick grab-n-go breakfast sacks by the front door with bagel & spreads, fruit & yogurt. We didn't get to use the indoor pool, but we did use the gym once, even though it was small with only 3 machines. The gym opens at 6am though. For a long weekend stay, this was really nice and I would stay here again in the future.
