Editorial
Hotel overview
Set in a quiet suburb along the Elizabeth River, this modest hotel caters to travelers seeking a budget-friendly base close to local shopping and dining options.
Guests will find Chesapeake Square Mall nearby, offering global cuisine and fashion stores. While amenities are limited—there is no pool, restaurant, or fitness center—the property provides free Wi-Fi, breakfast, and parking for a practical stay.
The overall atmosphere reflects a basic lodging experience, with accessibility features in place but no pet accommodations or airport shuttle available. The hotel's rating and guest feedback indicate a mixed reputation, with concerns related to cleanliness and maintenance.
Despite these challenges, the location offers a gateway to exploring cultural attractions such as the Chrysler Museum of Art and recreational spots like the Virginia Zoo and Nauticus maritime museum—all within a short drive.

Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“This place is roach-infested and bed bug-infested. DO NOT STAY HERE. I rated it a 5 star just so that it could show up in the top most helpful reviews. They use fake 5-star reviews to overshadow the bad reviews. The sheets were nasty. It's very dusty and just really infested. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! We ended up having to stay at the hotel because of no refunds and not having enough to book elsewhere. it was a NIGHTMARE!!!!! i would rather sleep in my car than be in there. its been 4 days since we left and the thought still has me feeling dirty no matter how much i scrub. the front desk is a little clean so it will deceive you. but rest assured this is the worst hotel over there.”
