Why People Love It

7.8⭐581 reviews
  • Complete renovation finished Dec 2024 means 'new hotel' smell
  • The legendary warm chocolate chip cookie at check-in (it never gets old)
  • Free airport shuttle that runs 5am-midnight

Quick Take: A shiny new interior inside a generic highway shell—perfect for a layover, but don't expect a walkable neighborhood.

Reviewed by @Narcisa.Maura: I stayed here for a quick trip to Norfolk and it was exactly what I needed. The room was surprisingly spacious with a great desk for getting work done. Plus, getting that warm DoubleTree cookie at check-in never gets old! A solid, reliable choice.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Travelers are pleasantly surprised by the 2024 renovation, praising the 'luxurious' new feel and friendly staff.

Reality check

The soundproofing struggles against the roar of I-64 and nearby jet engines, and the paid breakfast stings for families.

  • You want a 'new' hotel experience without the 5-star price tag
  • You need a reliable shuttle to ORF (2 miles away)
  • You appreciate a heated indoor pool that's open year-round

Cleanliness & Maintenance

8.5
  • Housekeeping: Daily service upon request. Post-renovation reviews consistently cite 'spotless' rooms.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling new fixtures (2025 standards). Grout is fresh. No mold reports in recent months.
  • Maintenance: Everything works. The 2024 overhaul fixed the old 'tired' issues like peeling wallpaper.
  • Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and new. No 'scratchy' complaints recently.
  • Odors & scents: Smells like 'new hotel' and faint chlorine from the pool. No musty carpet smells.

Room Genie

Best picks

  • Top floor, odd-numbered rooms (often face away from the highway)

Rooms to avoid

  • Ground floor rooms near the lobby (noise from check-in/bar)

Room Request Genie – copy & paste

“I'd love a quiet room on a high floor, specifically facing away from Military Highway/I-64 if possible. A renovated room is preferred!”
