The Spotlight on Economy Lodge Portsmouth

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from the Norfolk Music Scene

Modern convenience meets no-frills comfort at the Economy Lodge Portsmouth, a wallet-friendly motel in Portsmouth, Virginia. Just 10 miles from Norfolk International Airport and within easy reach of Virginia Beach and downtown Norfolk, this location gives concert-goers easy access to top venues while offering a quiet place to crash after the encore.
Rooms are simple but practical, featuring private bathrooms, air conditioning, and free WiFi. With 24-hour front desk support and room service, it’s designed for travelers who value convenience and value above all.

Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you're headed to a show in downtown Norfolk or catching a music festival at the beach, this spot keeps you within striking distance. Late-night returns are no problem with a 24-hour front desk and flexible check-out time at 12:00 PM. The location is far enough from the noise to let you rest easy, but close enough for a quick ride to the action.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for affordable digs with easy access to shows
  • Solo travelers chasing a dream gig in Norfolk or Virginia Beach
  • Couples wanting a low-key weekend with a concert centerpiece
  • Fans needing a quiet recovery space after a loud night out
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want to save for merch and tickets

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel has room service available and is surrounded by casual eateries and diners within a short drive. Grab a bite pre-show or refuel post-performance. Late breakfast options are nearby for those sleeping in after a big night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is low-key, you're just a short ride from Norfolk’s lively bar scene, beachside lounges, and live music venues. Whether you're into chill dive bars or upscale cocktails, nightlife is less than 20 minutes away.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the clean rooms, friendly staff, and excellent value for the price. Many mention the convenience to concert venues and the quiet atmosphere for a good night's sleep. It’s a solid basecamp for a music-filled weekend.

Areas for Improvement

Some rooms are a bit dated in decor, and the hotel doesn’t offer luxury amenities—but that’s part of the charm if you’re just looking for a clean, quiet place to crash. A car is helpful, as public transport options nearby are limited.

The Bottom Line

If you're catching a show and want a no-fuss, budget-friendly place to rest up afterwards, Economy Lodge Portsmouth hits all the right notes.

Low quality for the low...

Liked: Hotel was close to the wedding I was attending. Check out was easy.
Disliked: Sent me to a room that wasn’t ready - door was open, trash still there, sheets undone. Put us in a different room. The sheets and towels had stains on them.

Bad

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Additionally, I waited 30 minutes for the office manager to get off her phone as she was conducting a personal conversation before she would help me. When she finally started tge check in, she acting like they could not find my reservation because they didn't want to honor the price then because the price was so low online they charged me a $25 deposit. The towels in the room were dirty the Bed had stains on it and was dirty
