The Spotlight on Residence Inn by Marriott Norfolk Downtown

Spacious, Suite-Style Comfort in the Heart of Norfolk


Modern, practical, and right in the center of downtown Norfolk, the Residence Inn by Marriott Norfolk Downtown offers concert-goers a homey, all-suite stay just a short walk from key venues and nightlife. With full kitchens, separate living areas, and free Wi-Fi in every suite, this hotel blends comfort with convenience. Whether you're pre-gaming or recovering post-show, this spot gives you space to relax and recharge.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location is hard to beat—just a 5-minute walk to the Chrysler Museum and only minutes from many of Norfolk’s top music venues. After a late-night show, returning here is quick and low-stress. Suites are quiet and spacious, making it easy to unwind. With check-in at 3:00 PM and a generous 12:00 PM check-out, you won’t feel rushed. Plus, the on-site amenities like the indoor pool and hot tub offer a sweet way to relax after a standing-room-only gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for roomy accommodations with kitchen space
  • Solo travelers catching a must-see act
  • Couples making a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans wanting a quiet, post-show retreat
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value and convenience

Food and Drink Options

Start your day with a hot breakfast buffet, served daily—even if you were out late the night before. While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, the evening social receptions offer light bites on select nights. With full kitchens in every suite, late-night cravings can be handled in-room, or you can walk to nearby downtown eateries for quick bites and drinks.

Nightlife Options

Downtown Norfolk has plenty to offer right outside your door. Whether you're looking for craft cocktails, live music bars, or low-key pubs, you’ll find them within walking distance. The hotel doesn’t host its own nightlife, but it makes a great base for exploring the local scene.

What People Say

Guests love the spacious, apartment-style suites and the ability to cook their own meals after a long night out. Reviewers often mention the hotel’s excellent downtown location, friendly staff, and quiet, comfortable rooms. The indoor pool and hot tub are a favorite perk for those recovering from a high-energy night.

Areas for Improvement

Parking comes at an extra cost, and some guests mention that the garage can feel a bit tight. While the breakfast is appreciated, a few reviewers wished there were more variety. Still, most agree the pros far outweigh the cons.

The Bottom Line

Residence Inn by Marriott Norfolk Downtown is a top pick for concert-goers who want extra space, comfort, and a walkable location in the heart of Norfolk.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Ashley, Dumfries, visiting Spirit of Norfolk Tue, 23 August 2016

First and foremost customer service sucked! I believe the lady's name was Shirley. We came in and nobody acknowledged us for about 15 minutes. Then she gave us the key to our room and the first thing I noticed was that there were long black stands of hairs everywhere. Literally! Hair on the couch, on the kitchen table, on all of our towels, even in the bed between the sheets. Also, the lights went out around 12 a.m - by this time my wife and I were exhausted so I didn't bother to say anything. However when we woke up in the morning they were still out - now I am highly pissed off as I paid damn near 300 dollars to bathe and eat with no lights and to sleep with hair! No that was not the intention! I almost forgot the damn fire alarms went off and we all had to evacuate the building which was unpleasant. I can not say I will come here again but I definitely will not recommend this hotel to anyone. Also my wife left a voicemail for customer service and they have yet to get back to her. I need to be accommodated.

Liked: The kitchen.
Disliked: Strands of hair everywhere and dirty couches!

This is by far the best hotel that I've ever stayed in! It is amazingly clean and the staff is totally awesome. For anyone staying from out of town they make you feel right at home. Oh and did I mention the amazing breakfast?!

Robert, Kill Devil Hills, NC, visiting Chrysler Hall Sun, 11 January 2015

Easy walking distance to Chrysler Hall where we were attending a night opera. The overall experience was very good; friendly, helpful staff; very clean and properly prepared room. Plenty of very nice food venues within a 5 to 10 minute walk. Well lit for night life and secure. Great breakfast buffet. All in all a great stay and highly recommended.

Liked: Very clean room; very friendly staff; very close walk to venue we were attending.
Disliked: None that I can think of.
