Exceptional hotel, great downtown location, convenient parking ($18), close to light rail, short walk to waterfront. I love the new upscale Residence Inn design and the typical Marriott style friendly staff did not dissapoint. We've stayed at other downtown hotels and this is best by far.

Very Clean hotel and Friendly Staff. The suite was very spacious and comfortable. Location was just minutes away from the heart of downtown Norfolk and the Waterside Shops. The breakfast each morning was delicious and kitchen staff was very accommodating to the customers needs at all time. Very Nice Hotel! The only downside to the trip was the parking fee... More

Thank you for staying with us here at the Residence Inn Downtown. We appreciate the kind comments about the hotel and staff. We do contract with the City of Norfolk for our parking and as with many downtown locations parking is a premium. Since the lot is not an overnight parking lot we have contracted for overnight spaces which do... More

Upscale RI with modern burgandy decor/furnishings. Comfortable, clean 1-bdrm suite (hoped for a bit more roominess) with all the amenities RI spoils you with. Lovely, spacious gatehouse & food area. Consistently, hearty RI breakfasts & evening light meals; makes life easier especially if you're busy with full day's activities & haven't time/energy to prepare meals. (Always hoping for *additional* healthy... More

This appears to be a newer hotel; it is very modern and clean. Staff is very friendly. The free soup and salad offered for dinner on Wed/Thursday evening was delicious. I did not take advantage of the daily breakfast althought it was included at no additional charge. There is an additional charge for parking in the deck next to the... More

I liked this Residence Inn. It was the newest style, nice granite countertops, very nice kitchen appliances and a roomy design. Standard workout equipment, a couple of treadmills, nothing to write home about. i liked the location, very close to the naval museum and some great restaurants downtown. Finding the parking garage was a little bit funny at first, I'm... More

Thank you for choosing the Residence Inn Downtown for your trip to Norfolk. We are happy you enjoyed your time here. The city garage is a little confusing. There are two entrances and only one exit. As long as you were able to get in and out you must have been doing something right. When your travels bring you back... More

10-15 minutes from Naval Station Norfolk, very close to ODU. Hotel decor and rooms can easily match some high end hotels. The rooms have nice kitchens and the breakfast served in the morning is worth getting up for.

I had the pleasure to stay in a king suite. The room was very spacious and provided plenty of space for a business trip- I had two laptops spread on the work table!

The friendly and exceptional front desk staff really stand out in this almost two-year old Residence Inn. As a Marriott Rewards Platinum or Gold Elite member the past several years, I have been in a lot of different hotels in the Marriott chain. Pros: very exceptional front desk staff; contemporary, modern design; good location with close proximity to downtown, waterfront,... More

This was one of the worst hotel experiences that I have ever had. We were given 3 different rooms all of which had hair in the bathrooms or bed. After the third switch we were moved to the Courtyard Marriot which was not nearly as nice for the price. The next day all that they offered was "sorry". I have... More
