Food and Drink Options

Start the day with a complimentary breakfast—perfect when you’ve stayed up late.

Plus, the hotel hosts a weekly social with light food and drinks—a fun way to meet fellow travelers.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is chill, you're just a short drive from downtown Norfolk’s lively bar scene, lounges, and live music spots. Prefer a quieter night? Grab a drink and relax in your suite or by the firepit in the outdoor space. There’s no on-site bar, but the area offers plenty of nightlife within reach.
