Top Virginia Zoo Hotel Reviews

Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was friendly and very accommodating."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Norfolk Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great."

Renaissance Portsmouth-Norfolk Waterfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed after enjoying dinner on the nearby City Cruise. Quiet and clean with a nice view of the Elizabeth river."

Glass Light Hotel & Gallery, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"The queen size room was large and modern. The bathroom and shower were also very large and modern. The only thing that I could find wrong was that there were no drinking glasses and the coffee maker didn’t have enough coffee pods. The main downside was the lack of friendliness at the main desk ."

Courtyard by Marriott Norfolk Downtown

8/10 Good

"The shower curtain was too small for the shower allowing water to spray on the bathroom wall. Beds need another pillow for a queen only offered 3 to a bed. Shower floor wasn’t as clean as it could be with buildup of soap scum. Outlets on the lamps didn’t work nor did the outlet on the alarm clock. TV was too small for the room. An overall update is well overdue due for the unit we stayed in. The food was outstanding that we ate for breakfast, a made to order menu. Was impressed with the breakfast!"

SpringHill Suites Marriott Norfolk Old Dominion University

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, clean rooms."

Quality Inn & Suites Olde Town

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for the night!"

The Inn at Four Eleven York

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for our honeymoon before embarking on our cruise to Bermuda out of Norfolk. The port was very close to the Inn. The Inn is beautiful and so romantic. The area around the Inn had several options for dining. The walkable area was so romantic with its old architecture and cobblestone streets. I would love to come and stay longer and experience their restaurants and the city of Norfolk. I would highly recommend the Inn to anyone wanting a place that is not a big box type hotel. If you want charm and romance this place is for you!!!!"
