Excellent place with excellent customer service!
Pros:

Everything about our stay was exceptional. From check-in to check-out, all staff were courteous and made us feel like we were the top priority. Joshua, the valet personnel, was exceptional. When we arrived, he unloaded the car and talked us through everything we needed to know. We had never been to Norfolk, and were there for my Old Dominion University graduation. He was very personable and a joy to meet! I can't express enough how great our trip was! I traveled with my eight-year-old son, mother, and stepfather.

Cons:

There wasn't anything we didn't like!

Pros:

The staff was incredible and the room was beautiful. Breakfast was included and that was amazing also love The view.

Cons:

The internet was disconnecting every 30 to 40 minutes to the point to where my wife and I just went on a walk at night. The shower was stopped up so it would fill up with water and when I went to use the handheld piece it just fell from the wall
