Comfort Suites Airport
Had several room changes before settling in for the night. Room was clean and well appointed for our short stay. Breakfast was ok, not many options, and only offered pork sausage, flat frisbee shaped eggs, and cold boiled eggs for protein choices. Fruit was bananas.

Holiday Inn Newport News - Hampton by IHG
The hotel was great, clean, and staff was wonderful. The rooms were amazing. My only gripe is the water pressure for the shower was so low, you pretty much had to stand under the shower head to get wet.
