SpringHill Suites by Marriott Norfolk Old Dominion University

Spacious Suites and Game-Day Vibes Near Norfolk’s Music Scene

Modern, all-suite comfort awaits at SpringHill Suites by Marriott Norfolk Old Dominion University, located right on the campus of Old Dominion University and next door to the Ted Constant Convocation Center. This hotel blends collegiate energy with laid-back style, offering concert-goers a convenient, comfy home base in Norfolk.
Each suite comes with a microwave, mini-fridge, and free Wi-Fi, making it easy to relax between shows. Plus, an indoor saltwater pool, jacuzzi, and on-site restaurant keep things lively before and after the music ends.

Why Concert-goers love it

With the Ted Constant Center just steps away, you’ll never have to worry about post-show traffic or expensive ride shares. The hotel’s location also makes it easy to catch late-night buses or walk to nearby hangouts. Thanks to a 12:00 PM checkout, you can sleep in after a big night out. Despite being close to the action, the rooms are surprisingly quiet — perfect for winding down after a loud encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want a suite-style setup with plenty of space
• Solo travelers crossing artists off their bucket list
• Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
• Fans who want a quieter recovery spot post-gig
• Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value and comfort

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a daily breakfast buffet to help you recover from a late night. For lunch or dinner, the on-site Monarch Sports Grille serves American favorites and features 20 large-screen TVs — perfect for pre-show fuel or post-show recaps. While room service isn’t 24/7, you’ll find plenty of walkable dining options around campus, and the in-room microwaves and fridges make snacking a breeze.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no live music on-site, the nearby ODU campus bars and lounges offer a casual vibe and local flavor. If you prefer to stay in, the hotel bar and outdoor patio at Monarch Sports Grille is a great spot to unwind with a drink and catch highlights from the show.
