Comfort Inn & Suites Hampton near Coliseum
This property is non smoking which we liked and everything was clean and well kept. Unfortunately, the Expedia phone app gave the appearance when I was checking how late we could check in that I hadn’t confirmed the reservation and we clicked confirmed. This resulted in a double booking for the room ...

Wyndham Garden Norfolk Downtown
My room looked out dated compared to my sister room which was updated. I don’t understand why it’s like that. They say dogs are welcome but call u if ur dog barking. No microwave in the room . And has to pay for parking per day . Hotel was very high price not worth it to me .
