The Spotlight on American Inn Chesapeake - Portsmouth

Affordable Comfort Near the Music Scene in Chesapeake

Modern and straightforward, American Inn Chesapeake - Portsmouth is a no-frills, budget-friendly hotel located in Chesapeake, Virginia. Set just 17 miles from Norfolk and Virginia Beach hotspots, this 2-star property offers a clean and quiet place to recharge between shows. Guests enjoy free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and a 24-hour front desk — all the basics covered for a stress-free stay.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a smart pick for music fans heading to concerts in Norfolk or Virginia Beach. With Norfolk International Airport only 16 miles away, it's an easy hop for out-of-town travelers. The area is relatively quiet, making it a solid choice for fans who want to retreat from the post-show buzz. While it’s not walking distance to major venues, the hotel’s location along South Military Highway puts you within easy driving distance of key music spots across the region.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends needing affordable, simple accommodations
  • Solo travelers in town for a one-night show
  • Couples on a concert weekend escape
  • Fans seeking a quiet, low-key recovery zone after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers prioritizing value and location

Food and Drink Options

The hotel itself doesn’t offer on-site dining, but there are several casual eateries and fast food spots within a short drive. Late-night food runs are doable with nearby 24-hour options. While there’s no breakfast buffet, you’ll find options close by to fuel up after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

There’s no bar or lounge on-site, but you're not far from the action. Head toward Norfolk or Virginia Beach for bar hopping, live music venues, and late-night lounges. Uber and Lyft operate in the area, making it easy to enjoy the nightlife without worrying about the drive back.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the clean rooms, comfortable beds, and the hotel’s quiet location. Many say it’s a solid value for the price, especially for those just needing a place to sleep after a concert. The 24-hour front desk also gets positive mentions for convenience.

Areas for Improvement

This is a basic, budget hotel — no frills or fancy amenities here. Some guests mention that the surrounding area isn’t particularly scenic, and there’s no on-site dining or bar. But for the price, most travelers feel they get what they need.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for affordable comfort and convenience near Norfolk and Virginia Beach, American Inn Chesapeake - Portsmouth hits the right notes.

Wasn’t for us.

Liked: Nothing about this was convenient for my family. I didn’t like the staff, there were multiple overdoses from customers and staff too, checking in was a hassle, and the location was horrible.
Disliked: I didn’t like anything besides having a bed to sleep in until I could leave.

Disappointing Nights Stay At American...

Liked: DISLIKED!! No breakfast mentioned or offered. The outside of Motel had trash and litter around the entryway, sidewalk, stairway and parking lot. The latch key lock was missing inside the room. There was a nasty looking, patched 6 inch crack in the bathroom sink. The towels and washcloths felt rough and very thin. I understand why...probably location of motel & for safety....but was cold at check-in ...standing outside...not being allowed in lobby. Trouble cutting on TV....should have been told at check-in. Firetrucks sirens blaring the next morning outside our room...which was also located right by a noisy highway. So $75 for less than a 12 hour stay...not worth it; we couldn't wait to leave and tho we come to that area quite often I don't want to stay there again. I wouldn't recommend to family and friends. Our usual hotel was booked full...that's how we ended up there...not making prior reservations on a last minute trip.
Disliked: LIKE....room was available on short notice.Sorry I put comments in wrong boxes....

Will never stop or refer...

Liked: The bed was comfy
Disliked: No hot water to take a bath, then after finding that out, the floor outside the bathroom was soaked. Hole in the shower had toilet paper stuck in it. The pillows....well you might as well not have any they were so flat. And the television didn't work. It sucked!
