After a long day of travel, I arrived at almost midnight only to be told that the only rooms left did not have heat. I was told that they could offer me extra blankets or good luck finding a new hotel. The staff member was very pleasant however this is completely unacceptable. I booked this room at 3 weeks ago. The extra blankets consisted of a thin covering that went over the duvet. I am not from this area, it’s midnight and I was a woman by myself with limited options other than to just stay. I was very disappointed. The breakfast was also half gone when I went down at 8:30 when breakfast is supposed to be served from 7-10 with no one actively refilling anything.

Disappointing
We were very unsatisfied with our overall stay here. We stood for three nights and they never cleaned the room. Upon arriving back from our day on the third night, we saw that the room was still not cleaned. We then went down to the lobby to figure out what was happening. They told us that you have to call to schedule a cleaning the day before and that we were supposed to be told this upon check in. They never told us this information so we never got the chance to come back to a clean room. Secondly, the hallways were absolutely freezing. It felt like it was 60 degrees in the hall (we visited during thanksgiving). It was so cold that even in our rooms where we can adjust the thermostat, it felt like it was never able to get warm. Finally, getting from the 6th floor down to the lobby to enter or exit was always a challenge. There was only one working elevator so it took forever to come up or down. Sometimes, when an elevator would finally arrive, it was full so you’d have to wait even longer. We would have taken the stairs but for some reason, there was no marked stairs to enter into the lobby. The next time we are in Norfolk, we plan to stay elsewhere.

Although the staff was very friendly and professional, their keycard system kept having issues. We got locked out of our hotel room on multiple occasions and had to get new keys made. The staff was aware of this issue and was willing to fix keys as needed. We’ve not run into a single bad employee there, a very well managed property.

We were only there for one night. The place was lovely, but there were some maintenance issues with the shower and the bathroom sink. Staff was responsive to our requests. Breakfast was excellent. It took us 3 passes and a call to the hotel to figure out how to get to the entrance.

The place is rundown, front desk was minimal service. They serve breakfast supposed to be until 930 but they stopped bringing anything out at 9 am There is no housekeeping at all when we finally had to call for clean towels. They told us we’d have to call a day ahead for anybody to come to the room, which is absurd, considering the prices are not or motel prices. The coffee machine did not work in the room. There was one pan which was burnt. Would not return to this place.

Checked in was ignored for about 10 mins. Got to the room and key one key card didn't work. Heat gave out on a cold weekend, was given an extra blanket. Complianed twice to front desk and they wrote it down but did nothing about it. By far the worse Residence Inn ive stayed at. Definitely would not recommend.
