"I was unhappy that I wasn't informed that the hotel was under construction and the water was shut off for 5 hours each day. It was dusty and noisy, though the room was decent. Plenty of stores and restaurants within walking distance. Nice staff. A terrible experience overall.2015-12-25"
"Convenient to both the Norfolk Naval Base and Old Dominion University. Not within walking distance to ODU, but it was a short drive straight down one street. The hotel was clean, and the staff was friendly. Nothing luxurious, but more than adequate. There were several dining choices nearby.2015-08-01"
"The motel was dirty and run-down, and the staff wasn't reliable. Stay away from this one.2015-07-01"
"The motel needed repairs, and the rooms were disgusting. The 1st room had unmade beds. The next room smelled like cigarettes. There was a gap around the door so the wind blew in. The mattresses needed to be replaced. There were huge potholes in the parking lot. We asked for a refund and left.2015-04-28"
"The hotel was across the street from the university. I was disappointed that the TV in my room didn't work. I called the front desk and someone came to look at it, but it wasn't fixed. The toilet didn't flush properly.2022-05-09"

"Great hotel, especially if you're going to the Norfolk base. Ask for a room with a balcony overlooking the water.2019-05-20"
"Great customer service, but a horrible place to stay. Didn't feel safe walking in the neighborhood. The room was a disappointment, and we couldn't sleep because of the loud AC and noise from neighboring rooms. The curtains didn't adequately block out light. We'd planned to stay at this motel for six nights, but left after one.2015-10-06"
"Good location if you like the beach, but I got to the hotel late at night only to find a bed full of sand and lamps that didn't work. Clean sheets were brought to me, but I had to change the bed myself. The blinds were broken, so I woke up early due to bright light coming through the window.2015-09-24"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
