The Spotlight on Wyndham Garden Norfolk Downtown

Stay in the Heart of Norfolk's Entertainment Scene

Modern comfort meets unbeatable location at Wyndham Garden Norfolk Downtown, a laid-back hotel directly across the street from Norfolk Scope Arena and Chrysler Hall. With an outdoor pool, on-site restaurant, and cozy rooms featuring free WiFi, microwaves, and fridges, this spot makes concert nights easy and enjoyable.
Whether you're in town for a show or planning a weekend music escape, this hotel keeps you close to the action and comfortable between sets.

Why Concert-goers love it

You honestly can't get much closer—Wyndham Garden is just steps from two of Norfolk’s major venues. That means no taxis, no traffic, and no FOMO. Guests love the convenience of walking home after a show. The area stays lively late, but rooms are surprisingly quiet for downtown. Flexible 4 PM check-in is great for those arriving day-of, and the central location makes it easy to grab a ride share or explore the city by foot.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends heading to a show together
- Solo travelers checking off a dream concert
- Couples making a weekend out of it
- Fans who want a peaceful crash pad after the encore
- Budget-conscious music lovers who want good value near the venue

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Black Tuna Bar & Grill serves both breakfast and dinner, with a focus on fresh seafood and satisfying sandwiches—perfect fuel before or after a gig. While there’s no 24/7 room service, in-room microwaves and fridges make late-night snacking a breeze. Plus, you’re in walking distance of other local eateries and coffee spots for that much-needed post-show brunch.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more of a chill zone, the downtown area offers plenty of nightlife—from bars and live music venues to low-key lounges. You’re close enough to enjoy the scene without having it spill into your room. For a nightcap, the bar at Black Tuna offers local brews and a relaxed vibe.

What People Say

Guests love the walkable location, especially when attending events at Scope Arena or Chrysler Hall. Many mention the friendly staff and how convenient it is to have a restaurant and pool on-site. The value for the location is another big plus, and reviewers often note how easy it is to get around from this central spot.

Areas for Improvement

Some rooms are a bit dated, and a few guests mention that the hotel could benefit from minor cosmetic updates. Parking is available but can be tight during busy weekends. If you're a light sleeper, ask for a room away from the elevators just in case.

The Bottom Line

With its unbeatable location across from major venues and all the essentials for a fun, low-hassle stay, Wyndham Garden Norfolk Downtown is a solid pick for concert-goers looking to stay close to the music.

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Vicki, Elizabeth City Sat, 29 June 2024

Liked: The staff was very friendly, and our experience in the hotel restaurant was very good,

Exceptional - 5.0 out of 5

Sharon L, Baltimore, visiting Atlantic Union Bank Pavilion Fri, 10 June 2022

When you first walk in, you notice how spacious the lobby is; the nice furniture and polite, helpful service. The room was clean with plenty of space. Everything you need is in the room - iron, microwave, refrigerator, hair dryer and a nice view of downtown.

Liked: The lobby was clean; nice seating area.
Disliked: I have nothing bad to say.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Lindsay, Stephens City, visiting The Norva

Bed was uncomfortable. No space in the bathroom and outdated. The Jets went by all night.

Liked: Close to the Norva.
Disliked: Hotel room was horrible.

Exceptional - 5.0 out of 5

Elizabeth, Warsaw, visiting Scope Arena

Liked: We had a very nice suite for our stay. Was within walking distances to the Scope, which was great for us being there for WWE Smackdown.

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Judith, Lawrence, visiting Chrysler Hall

Elegant lobby but that does not mean the rooms are! Staff friendly and helpful. Room had no helpful note book on hotel or a Room Service menu so I ordered pizza.

Liked: Close to Chrysler Hall - nice.
Disliked: Plaster in bad shape in my room; musty smelling.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Stan, Richmond, VA, visiting Chrysler Hall

Although this hotel's location was great for proximity of the concert we were attending, I probably would not stay there again and would not recommend it.

Liked: The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Disliked: Was not given the king room I booked - given 2 doubles. Room was small and cramped, particularly the bathroom. Lighting in the bathroom was too dark to shave. Paint was peeling off the ceiling. I booked this hotel because of the rating and reviews found on this site. But to say the least, in my opinion they were inaccurate.

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

AS Mendelsohn, Raleigh, visiting The Norva

It was good enough for a one night stay in order to go to a concert at the Norva, but not a hotel I would ever seek out under other circumstances.

Liked: Staff was very polite and helpful; convenient location.
Disliked: Hallways had an odd smell; bathroom needs updating (stains in tub); A/C controls were broken so it cycles on and off all night.

2

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Teri, Kitty Hawk, visiting The Norva

Liked: The staff was friendly.
Disliked: The pictures on the website made the hotel look much nicer than it really was. The elevators did not have a certification posted and the room was filthy. Also, when I pulled back the curtain there was black mold and what appeared to be red wine spilled all over the window sill. Judging by the amount of mold it hadn't been cleaned in a long time.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

Elle, Viginia Beach, visiting Chrysler Hall

Entrance was not clearly marked. So I went in by way of the pool area - noticed that walls were crumbling all around. Found the lobby and it looked like something out of a 70's Vegas movie. Because the cost of the room was non refundable I felt trapped into staying here. I normally run at first sign of yuck. Checked in and made it up to the 12th floor where the roof was actually crumbling in and huge sections were missing. Got to the room and the TV's sound was broken, the remote control didn't work, no Wi-Fi, and the bed was broken. Called downstairs and they were able to bring a new TV and new batteries. And the man pushed the button on the bed and stated that it did work. Long story short, my husband slept on a totally deflated side and I slept on a rock hard side because it wouldn't deflate at all (husband's side was -- and mine was at 100). The only reason I even thought this hotel was decent was because it was listed on the Seven Venues website and I trusted them to know what kinds of places they were sending their customers to. I truly feel let down.

Liked: Walking distance to Chryler Hall.
Disliked: The building is literally is falling apart and equipment is broken.

4

Very Good - 4.0 out of 5

Todd, Midlothian, visiting Chrysler Hall

Staff was very friendly and hotel is very convenient to the Chrysler Center.

Liked: Very good hotel and room for the money.
Disliked: Resturant and bar closed at 9pm.
