My dinning experience ess grrat
Layr night food and partying was what I needed. I love the comfort of the bed? It was hard for me to get up
The bed alone wrapped me up. I love the view from my room. I felt like I needed another day. My friend and I truly enjoyed our stay. Looking forward to my next stay.

Great restaurants
Stayed here a few times in the past but this time the rooms felt and looked run down. Holes in ceiling, carpet pulled up. Furniture was dirty. Time to redo some rooms. Room service was awful but the restaurants and service was good

Nice hotel in Norfolk
Great location near the water and within walking distance. Nice amenities including the pool. Rooms not as nice as they should have been considering it was a $400 room. Nice restaurants and bar.

The staff was very nice and went out of their way to give us a room that had a view and wasn’t too close to the bar that stayed open until 2:00am. I felt bad using a wash cloth to remove my makeup but didn’t have a make up wipe available.
