Bla-zae…

The rooms were fair. Very few amenities If you’re just looking for a place that’s not overpriced for one night it’s ok. But other than I would look at the other hotels and pay more if I’m on vacation.

Sleep & Go

It wasn't to far from the beach, all you had to do was walk out of the hotel cross the street find an area between the houses cut across to walk to beach easy peasy. Decent price, beds were decent pillows were comfy. Although stove didn't work, cabinet door fell off, toilet needed to be glued to floor felt like and needs an electrician bad... stayed in room 114.

No breakfast and no even coffee or drink water in the lobby or in the room. The vending machines were almost empty and not working. You have to go a mile to the nearest shopping center to get anything. Overpriced, for the asking price they could provide at least coffee!

Want a refund !!

No lobby opened. Spoke though a window. Room was not cleaned. Was there for 2 nights and never had maid service. Power was out for a entire night and following day ! Claimed to have ocean view. Only if you peaked between 2 building.

I cannot believe Expedia can possible be representing the Express Inn in Norfolk Va.. This property is the worst I have ever stayed in and I have been staying at hotels for 50 years. There was a hole in the wall, the walls needed painting and were all scratched. The air conditioner was so dirty that we were afraid to turn it on. There sign said $59 a night but I paid $200. There was no WIFI and they told it was a problem with my and my wife's IPad. We could't wait to get out of this flee bag hotel. I think I should get a refund and you should not be representing Hotels like this horrible hotel. Please email me with your response

Nice low key and inexpensive place to stay in Tidewater. When my initial reservation was abruptly cancelled by another establishment I drove down shore drive and saved sixty dollars a night. It’s certainly not luxury accommodations but a good convenient play to rest.

It was an ok stay, if your just planning to stay one night and just sleep…. The thing that really got me was the tv was in dang Spanish, the hardwood floors, couldn’t close bathroom door while using it, and one of the light kept cutting on and off….. but staff were friendly and area was ok. It’s not right in beach, you have to walk there, but it’s right across the street…

Nightmare in the Express Inn

I don’t know where to start, check in when wrong, paid for the wrong amount but fixed next day. A couple fight woke me up. Room services never clean the room during my stayed. In the shower the curtains had mildew and the room smelled like old; I don’t even know how to describe it. The best part was returning my keys when I left.

There were little drug addicts and prostitutes in the rooms surrounding us. Our room WREAKED of cigarettes and I was scared to even sit on the bed. We left 2 hours after checking in. This should have been a $30 a night or pay by the hour type motel.
