Norfolk Waterside Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the view of the water from our comfortable room!"

The Inn at Four Eleven York

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for our honeymoon before embarking on our cruise to Bermuda out of Norfolk. The port was very close to the Inn. The Inn is beautiful and so romantic. The area around the Inn had several options for dining. The walkable area was so romantic with its old architecture and cobblestone streets. I would love to come and stay longer and experience their restaurants and the city of Norfolk. I would highly recommend the Inn to anyone wanting a place that is not a big box type hotel. If you want charm and romance this place is for you!!!!"

Modern Portsmouth Apartment: Walk to Norfolk Ferry

"The place was in a lovely location, close to Old Towne Portsmouth, the river walk, the ferry landing to Norfolk. Easy to walk everywhere. The apartment is old but well maintained. It was quiet and the air conditioning was fantastic."

Historic private guest apartment

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay while visiting our daughter was perfect. The apartment is absolutely gorgeous and centrally located to where we needed to be. I love that there was a washer and dryer so when we got home it was easy to just unpack. Hosts were informative and responded quickly. I would highly recommend this place. Thank you so much."
