    stunning view
    excellent service
    great location
    renovation inconveniences
    limited dining options

    The stay was enjoyable as we visited the Children's Museum of Virginia with our kids. The view from our room was absolutely stunning, overlooking the water. The staff, especially Shawn from the restaurant, provided excellent service during breakfast, making it a memorable experience for our family. The location was great with easy access to nearby attractions, although the hotel was undergoing renovations, which led to some inconveniences. Overall, we would consider returning, especially for the view and friendly service.

    Just a nice choice for a weekend respite in Portsmouth with excellent value for money. The room was very nice, and everything worked perfectly during my stay. If you're attending an event, be specific about your needs for meals.

    park proximity

    perfect spot for strolling parks and waterfront views

    During my recent stay, I loved being just a short walk from the Children's Museum of Virginia and so close to the tranquil Town Point Park where I could enjoy delightful views of the waterfront while strolling through the gardens.

    The hotel has a beautiful ambiance, especially the lobby, and a fantastic view from my room. Staff interactions were friendly and helpful. However, the bathroom lacked proper ventilation, and issues arose with housekeeping regarding towel replacements. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with room for improvement.

    fire pits
    great breakfast
    fun getaway
    check-in delay

    Perfect base to explore The National Maritime Center and catch a AAA Tides Baseball game. The courtyard with fire pits was super chill, and the breakfast was on point. Just a heads up, check-in can be slow, so time your arrival. Overall, a solid spot for a fun getaway!

    We faced a frustrating check-in delay. After arriving just before 4:30 PM, we waited over an hour to get our room key, which really cut into our evening plans.

    great location with great facilities

    the indoor swimming pool added a refreshing touch to my experience, but just know that parking is valet-only, which can be a bit inconvenient for some guests.
