Top Virginia Zoo Hotel Reviews

Norfolk Waterside Marriott

8/10 Good

"Delay getting my room but it was a busy weekend with college sports teams staying at the hotel. Beautiful room. Would definitely go back"

Wyndham Garden Norfolk Downtown

8/10 Good

"The staff were very professional and helpful. The room was clean. The main challenge I had was finding meals. There is no lunch services or room service. If you have physical limitation there is no place within walking distance to eat."

Hilton Norfolk The Main

10/10 Excellent

"I flew in that morning and originally booked the Sheraton which was so aesthetically bad I checked out 30 minutes later. Fast Forward, I called a friend(which is what I should’ve done originally, but was thrown off by the photos), he led me to the Hilton. As soon as I walked in it smelled so good and a Brandee at the front desk and the rest of the staff was so amazing at check in. The hallways were well manicured and just clean inside like it should be. We had access to the Executive Suite where the free snacks, drinks , coffee and just a quiet place to chill, watch tv and study if you have to. Can’t leave out the sleeping part—bed mattress was so comfortable you won’t want to get up. I can go on, but the Hilton Main will be my go to from now on when I go to Norfolk. You won’t. Be disappointed. 💯💯💯💯"
