Comfort Inn & Suites Hampton near Coliseum
This property is non smoking which we liked and everything was clean and well kept. Unfortunately, the Expedia phone app gave the appearance when I was checking how late we could check in that I hadn’t confirmed the reservation and we clicked confirmed.

Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel
The waterside view was a little less than amazing. Overall friendly staff, but an indoor pool or a hot tub would’ve made it a little more special.

Took 30 minutes to check in due to understaffing. The parking situation was a nightmare. No clear signage for entrance.
