Hi. I am visiting Norfolk, VA, for the first time next week - any ideas for good accommodation please?
Answers:
If you mean downtown, then the Marriott would be my top choice. My second choice would be the Renaissance across the river in Portsmouth (5 minutes ferry, 25 cents?). Runners-up in Norfolk would be Sheraton Waterside, and Courtyard by Marriott. The other hotels downtown are very much hit-and-miss, in my opinion (Radisson, Clarion). I saw the Sheraton Waterside--which had a $10 million overhaul 2 years ago--going for $59 per night if you go through Biddingfortravel.com, a site which reports on what bids were accepted with Priceline, and what hotels they got. Otherwise, looks like the Courtyard is going for $101 per night with AAA discount.
