I stayed there May 28th eve till May 29th morning 2025. The staff were super cool and very friendly, very nice, and we're very eager to accommodate anything you needed to get done. The rooms are atypical for a motel. I had 2 beds nicely made up and very clean. Bathroom & sinks were very nice & clean, along with the shower and the tub also very clean. Floors were very clean as well and only thing I could recommend is a thicker mor comfortable mattress.

I checked in just for a night but the room had no pillows, couldn't get the tv to change input modes so that I could hook up my laptop to the tv, and the water never got truly hot. I mean, it was the cheapest hotel in Norfolk for the night but damn. Oh, no ice bucket, no cups, no fridge or microwave either. I had fun though.

Management takes pride in their business which is important to me. This location is a great value to me because of price and location to my interests while in the area. It may not have all the bells and whistles but quality of stay and care makes a difference. Family owned and operated. I'll be back!

I've stay at this hotel multiple times. Yeah occasionally at times you will hear loud noises, but I've never had a problem here, staff is always accommodating to my needs. And the pool is a plus. It's not as bad as a lot of other hotels around. I'd pick this one over the others anyday.
