Top Virginia Zoo Hotel Reviews

Delta Hotels by Marriott Norfolk Airport

8/10 Good

"Sofa bed wasn't great. Building is aging. Overall okay stay."

Norfolk Waterside Marriott

8/10 Good

"I noticed some places in the hall and especially the area where you go from the hotel to the walkway of the street on the second floor where there’s water damage. My concern is that the damage did not look fresh. It looked like something that’s been an issue for a while where there’s water damage. There is mold. Other than that, everyone was so wonderfully nice and helpful. One of the guys out front though at the valet needs to leave the energy drinks alone; he was a bit aggressive. I enjoyed my stay. I had a corner King suite with a Riverview and it was absolutely wonderful. I will stay here again. It is also wonderfully located because the walking and nightlife is fabulous especially on the weekends."

Wyndham Garden Norfolk Downtown
