Wingate by Wyndham Chesapeake
Front desk girl…fantastic! Ain’t peeling off wooden bathroom counter…unsanitary. Sink had been patched to the wall. Looked like it was going to fall off. Mattress was so worn you could see body imprints. Pillows were great, room was clean. Housekeeping people were pleasant.

Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel
The waterside view was a little less than amazing. Overall friendly staff, but an indoor pool or a hot tub would’ve made it a little more special.

Wyndham Garden Norfolk Downtown
Took 30 minutes to check in due to understaffing. The parking situation was a nightmare. No clear signage for entrance.
