Nightlife Options

You’re just minutes from Norfolk’s buzzing nightlife scene, including bars, lounges, and live music venues. While the hotel itself is on the quieter side, that works well if you’re coming back late and want to unwind. The nearby Commodore Theater even brings a cinematic twist to your evening.

What People Say

Guests love the spacious suites with kitchens, which make extended stays or group trips easy. The location earns praise for being close to downtown Norfolk without the noise or traffic.

Areas for Improvement

Disgusting rooms; stained walls; gross bathroom; ghetto. Never again. Should have read reviews but it was the closest place available to nTelos. Had a great time despite, not because of our stay there. Stay away!

Disliked: Worst "hotel" I ever stayed at.

The most torrid experience ever!

Liked: The entire place was nasty. Seems overtaken by criminals and drug dealers. The door didn’t have a safety latch. The linen and bedding was very dirty, couldn’t shower how bad it was and I slept in my clothes with a piece of my clothing on the pillow I used.
