Norfolk Waterside Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great!"

Days Inn by Wyndham Norfolk Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was satisfying."

Best Western Plus Chesapeake Bay-Norfolk

10/10 Excellent

"During the off-peak season, it's well worth the value. Directly on the beachfront, with a pool, patio, and direct beach access. Less than a 30-minute drive from ODU, which makes this a great, cost-effective option for those visiting the campus during the school year. Rooms are spacious, clean, and well-maintained. Parking is included in their lot. Breakfast is as expected for a Best Western. The only amenity missing was a vending machine. Note that rooms do not come with bottled water, so you would need to bring your own or get some from the fountain in the lobby. They also did not come with pots or pans for the convection stovetop."
