Nice hotel

Very nice hotel, good location with fantastic views, boat connection to Norfolk downtown. Breakfast was very American, so not the best for European. Missing veggies, ham, bad coffee... Cleaning in the room could be better, floors were not clean.

Everytime we go...noisy residents in other rooms..front desk and security do nothing about it. Even has people next door hooting and hollering and when we ask to be quiet..they knocked on our door to and instigate me to be angry..then video my reaction only for management to blame my wife and I and do nothing to kick them out like they said they would. Trashiest property ever thats not a motel with doors on the outside. Will never stay again forever more. Nor should anyone else.
