The Spotlight on Motel 6-Portsmouth VA

Simple Comfort Close to the Stage

Modern essentials meet budget-friendly rates at Motel 6-Portsmouth VA. Located in Portsmouth, just off London Boulevard, this 2-star hotel keeps things easy and accessible with clean, air-conditioned rooms, free WiFi, and a no-frills vibe. It’s a practical home base whether you're catching a show in downtown Norfolk or heading out to the Virginia Beach scene.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're chasing live music in Norfolk or Virginia Beach, this hotel puts you within a short drive of several top venues. The 24-hour front desk means late check-ins after a long night are no problem, and free WiFi helps you upload those concert clips in no time. The hotel is also a quick 15-minute drive from Norfolk International Airport—perfect for out-of-town fans flying in for a big night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want a simple, shared space before and after the show
  • Solo travelers checking off a must-see artist on their list
  • Couples making a weekend of it without overspending
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space just outside the downtown buzz
  • Budget-conscious music fans who'd rather spend more on tickets than lodging

Food and Drink Options

While Motel 6-Portsmouth VA doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, each room features a kitchenette—a big plus for late-night snacks or morning-after coffee. Several fast food spots and local diners are within walking or short driving distance, making it easy to grab a bite before or after your show. Bonus: no overpriced hotel breakfasts here!

Nightlife Options

You won’t find live music or a bar on-site, but the hotel’s location gives easy access to downtown Norfolk’s nightlife, just over the river. Whether you're into craft brews, rooftop lounges, or low-key cocktail spots, you're just a quick Uber or Lyft away from the action.

What People Say

Travelers appreciate the value for money and the clean, comfortable rooms. Many mention the helpful front desk staff and the convenience of a quick check-in. The location is also a win for guests heading to both Norfolk and Virginia Beach events.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel keeps things basic, so don’t expect luxury extras. Some guests note that the area can feel industrial, and while the rooms are clean, the décor is more “function over fashion.” But for the price, most agree it’s a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

Motel 6-Portsmouth VA is a smart, no-frills choice for concert-goers who want a clean, affordable place to crash between shows and city adventures.

Brice, Dover, visiting The Norva

The room was filthy. The microwave was broken - t looked like it had been punched in. There was a huge hole in the wall in the bathroom. Big roaches in the bathroom. The fridge looked like someone had thrwn up on it. The lamps by the bed didn't work. And there was no comforter.

Disliked: Dirty; bugs; faulty electrics.

Awful experience

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Location, the facility was nothing like it was presented on booking.com. it was filthy, the staff was rude, homeless passed out on sidewalk, drug paraphernalia on the ground, pool clearly hasn't been in use in years. I don't think this property should even be presented on your site

Liked: The room was dirty. The tub was filthy. The sheets had burned holes in them from somebody smoking a cigarette.
Disliked: Coming into the place. There were drug addicts sitting in the stairwells. Overall, it look like I walked into the middle of the ghetto with drug addicts, hung out.

Extremely disappointed

Liked: Location was ok. Not far from friends I was visiting.
Disliked: The room smelled of smoke and there was a continuous leak above the toilet. I had to place a trash can to catch the water or whatever it was coming from the ceiling. I was told there were no more rooms available.

Shut it down for false...

Liked: To be honest we never again will my family and I stay in hotel falsely advertise about how the rooms look. The manager placed us in a room that was suppose to be out of service, NO POOL it was covered, room wasn't cleaned, toilet lid had to be removed to flush, only 1 channel (CNN) on the TV, dirty kitchen, mold smell in room, furniture old, cracks in floors, air conditioner lid was off, drug users hanging out in front of rooms all night (talking, yelling and cooking on grills in front of rooms. My second room for my grand kids was so bad I had to have them moved and they room wasn't any better
Disliked: The hotel owner should be forced to remodeling or shut it down. It's really for drug users

Do yourself a favor. Dont...

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Crackheads dealing drugs in the parking lot all night long. What appeared to be homeless people lurking around every corner. Yelling and fighting all night. Every time we walked out the door beggars rushing up to us wanting something. Pool closed. No hot water in room. Inside manual lock on door broken. Trash in parking lot. We left 2 days early. Couldn’t take it any more. Stayed in hundreds of hotels all over this country and others. This is THE WORST place we have ever stayed. Only positive..the people working the front desk were very nice.
