This was by far the nicest motel I've ever stayed in. The staff was friendly and efficient, it was very clean, in a convenient location, and quiet. There's really not a better option in tbe area for this price. We would absolutely stay here again if back in Norfolk.

The parking lot was too small.... Other than that, it was perfect!! It gave me a home feeling because it was located beside a neighborhood...
