Good hotel located within walking distance to shops (very large mall Macarthur Center/restaurants, even the ball park. Hotel staff very friendly and accomodating. Parking a bit of a challenge. We opted to park oursleves in the parking garage and was a lot cheaper than paying at the hotel or utilizing valet. You may also find parking on the street (particularly overnight) that costs nothing. The only negative of this hotel is that fact that it is a convention center. Thus, you get a lot fo wedding parties, meetings, etc. This made for loud guests in the hallways late a night. That said, the hotel was great and we would stay again given the location and accomodation. If you want a nice meal...stay at the hotel and eat at Shula's...good steaks...good atmosphere...and you don't have to spend an arm and a leg if you don't want to.
Great time perfect place!

Just when i thought the Marriott chain couldn't get any better, they go and out do themselves again. From check-in to check-out everything was perfect and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly.
Only thing i would comment about is the parking arrangement......all the parking garages are privately owned and none belong to the hotel, so plan on spending about $14 a night for parking. Still not a bad deal though.
Clean Rooms, Grand Lobby, Great Location

I was recently in downtown Norfolk for a wedding and chose to forego the wedding block that was set up at the Sheraton Waterside across the street and instead stay at the Marriott. While the Sheraton has in fact been newly renovated ? my experience with the staff there was completely horrid. I was MUCH happier at the Marriott. The property itself has a more luxurious feel & the rooms are nicely appointed and have a classier look and feel than the redone Sheraton (which still smells of paint). Bathrooms are of good size ? and best of all, everything was EXTRA CLEAN. Room service came by promptly during my two night stay and cleaned the room from top to bottom. Service was friendly and polite in my few interactions with them. The property is conveniently located to all area attractions, with Nauticus and the waterfront one block away, and the huge MacArthur Center / mall a short 2 blocks out the front door. Also ? to the people who constantly complain. The hefty parking fees are not the hotels fault ? they go to the city of Norfolk and you will pay them regardless of where you stay. Thank you Marriott waterside for a great stay!

I arrived at the hotel 2 hrs. before checking in to find out that there wasn't no king size beds available after making reservations 5 months in advance. The only parking that the hotel provided was valet only which was $* per day, everyone else had to park in a private owned parking deck cross the street at your own risk. which also charged $* per day, plus because of a event that was taking place I was charged a addtional $* on that Saturday. The front desk wasn't pleasant at all, very poor customer service.
