A diamond in the rough! We rented two rooms for the long weekend of the International Tattoo! The staff was wonderful, the rooms were clean, and the beds were comfortable! If your traveling to hang out in the hotel room, there are no couches, but if you need a safe clean space to sleep that won’t break your bank, you found it!

This was our second stay while visiting in Norfolk, and we will stay again. I love the quaint old school beach vibe, but with the newly remodeled rooms. Walk across the street to the beach. Close to restaurants, etc.
