The front desk staff were very friendly and our room was very clean. My only complaint is not being able to adjust the room temperature. It was slightly warm in our room while we were sleeping, but other than that it was great!

The waterfront location and the patio fireside sites that were lit in the evening. Can't wait until the renovations are complete and full dinning services are available. Recommend that the place of safety grab bars be placed in the room showers. Some of us "old timers" need more stability in places like showers.

4th of July

Great stay for 4th if July fireworks that night. Hotel even set up bar with food in lawn along water for spectators. View partially obscured by an apartment building but good enough. Located very near 2 ferry docks for travel across to Norfolk waterfront or I heard also a sports stadium in Norfolk. Rooms were clean, staff friendly, parking deck, restaurant on premises. It was my second stay there

Pros: we had a beautiful view from our 9th floor room of the river, ships and skyline. The room was clean overall except it was hot and smelled mildew. Room service was good. We ordered breakfast. Very pricey but good. There are plenty of restaurants and shops near by that you can walk to or take the ferry over across the water to. The bell hop was nice and took our luggage upstairs to our room for us. Overall the staff was nice and friendly. Cons: Our room was quite warm. The hotel is doing renovations . Thermostat said 62 and it felt like 76 degrees. We asked for an engineer to look at it on Friday night at around 11:30pm and he never showed. We wanted room service and there were no menus in the room. The main shower head at the top of shower had low water pressure while the shower head at the bottom was great. Called front desk and they didn’t have any new menus so they gave us an older one. Seems to be a breakdown in communication between the front desk and the kitchen staff. The staff show great effort in their jobs but the hotel could be better managed. Saturday morning at 7am we were awoken to a fire alarm which was terrible. We called the front desk and asked was it a real alarm and they investigated and called us back and said it wasn’t. We only received two towels and two wash cloths so we had to ask the front desk for more. I would definitely stay there again under the pretense that the room will have AC, no smells
