The room was clean and well maintained, and the common spaces are very nice, but there were some negatives. Check-in and parking were confusing (there is virtually nowhere to park while checking in and parking is in the garage across the street, not the garage backing to the hotel.) We have young kids, so on Sunday morning we went down... more

We stayed one night at this hotel while en route to the Outer Banks, NC, and we loved it. We chose the Marriott Waterside based on reviews and location. The loacation was perfect for walking around the area and shopping. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We were impressed with the decor and cleanliness of our room. Also, we... more

I recently stayed at this hotel. It is located downtown and convenient to other downtown attractions and shopping. I only had a partial water view and this was the biggest drawback. The view of the city at night was very nice. I didn't eat at the restaurant, but noticed there were at least two in the hotel. One was adjacent... more

This hotel is sub-par. I wasn't any one thing in particular, but just a number of smaller issues including a mixed up check-in, parking too far away and not well marked, missing tv channels, and an overall dated look. I won't be staying at this hotel again. more

First off, this hotel is not on the or beside the water. It is on Waterside Drive which runs along the bay. With that being said, you can see the bay if you're in higher floors. The view of the city on other sides is also nice. The hotel is very elegant with multiple restaurants, bar areas and lounge areas.... more

Stayed the weekend of 12-29-07 through 1-1-08. Staff was friendly and place was clean. Did not use restaurant. As mentioned in other reviews, parking was located across the street but garage was connected to hotel via bridge on third floor. If handicapped, consider valet service. Indoor pool and hot tubs on 6th floor with good view. Hotel was quiet during... more

The property is in the Waterside area of downtown Norfolk. There are a ton of restaurants, bars, and shops within walking distance of the hotel. Skip the touristy schlock of Waterside and walk over to Granby Street. Macarthur Center, a really nice shopping mall, is a few blocks away. Very convenient parking. The hotel itself is very nice. The lobby... more

I was recently in downtown Norfolk for a wedding and chose to not stay at the Sheraton Waterside across the street (due to its terrible service) and instead stay at the Marriott. The rooms are nicely appointed and have a classier look and feel than the redone Sheraton (and the service is boatloads better). Bathrooms are of good size –... more
