The room was very dirty, obviously not vacuumed in days. Food was left in the microwave, window was smeared, lint all over the floor. Front desk was nice and issues a breakfast voucher but the manager at breakfast caused an embarrassing situation and did not honor the coupon. Would not recommend, buisness travelers expect more from the "Select" chain!!!!!
very convenient and comfortable

Very convenient to the airport and everything I needed during a visit with relatives. I was traveling alone, so I wanted to be careful about where I stayed... some of the reviews I read of other places were..ugh. The room had a small fridge and microwave, hair dryer, iron and ironing board. They do a very reasonable room service breakfast, but I also went down for the breakfast buffet, which was very good. The room was very clean and comfortable, though the sheets seemed to slide around.My back parking lot view featured a neighboring business's pond and ducks.
There were some problems with the printer in the business office, but the desk clerk very kindly printed what I needed at the front desk. The pool seemed to be nice enough, but I didn;t care to use it alone, and when there were people there were LOTS of people. In a small pool.,
It would have been nice to have tea bags offered as well as coffee with the coffee maker (though they gave me some extra ones in the restaurant). Norfolk seems to be very Pepsified-
no Diet coke in the vending machines at the hotel or at several restaurants I went to. Thank God for the 24 hour Super K Mart at Military Hwy and Norview Ave, which kept me supplied with all kinds of things.
The hotel does have a little sundries store, that has things like frozen breakfast foods.
All the staff I encountered were friendly and polite and helpful!
I really didn't go much of anywhere, but the hotel was very close to the interstate without being right next to it.
All in all, a good experience.
All in all, a good experience.
Good stay for the price

Location was very convenient to the airport, just 5 minutes in a car. Service was average, the room itself was very clean and comfortable. Bathroom/shower was above average. In-hotel dining was below average, the menu is small and service is not great, it was not used by most guests. The fitness facility conisisted of several bikes/treadmills and a set of weights (dumbbells). Pool was clean and of a good size, with a seperate hot tub. Business center printer did not work during my stay, causing somewhat of an inconvenience. I'd stay here again.
Ok in a pinch.

My biggest disappointment was in the amount of dust and grime that showed an obvious lack of proper cleaning. The worn condition of the furnishings and linens was quite noticeable. I found the first room I was given to be too dirty to accept when the buttons on the phone were too sticky to push and the pen on the desk was chewed. I notified the front desk manager and requested a new room which I found to be just a little better. This room had maintenance issues in the bathroom. (cracked sink and shower head molding hanging off wall) The staff was friendly and as helpful as they could be. I will not stay here again unless they renovate first and retrain the cleaning staff.
very surprising

My wife took me to VA for my birthday, and wasn't really expecting a great stay. But, the location was great, everything was very close to hotel, rooms were better than I expected, bed very comfortable. So, needless to say, I had a great time, that I'm thinking of moving to VA very soon. It was so relaxing, went to the beach a couple of days, weather was excellent. Am looking forward to relocating to VA.
