Top Downtown Hampton Hotel Reviews

Sleep Inn Lake Wright - Norfolk Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Great!"

Comfort Inn & Suites Hampton near Coliseum

8/10 Good

"This was an all around great stay! The property is well maintained and the parking lot was well lit in the evening. Checking in was fast and easy and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was large, very clean and the bedding plus. The one drawback is that the hotel does not allow for breakfast to be collected and taken from the dining area back to the room, which impeded somewhat on my schedule. But other than that, it was a really good experience."

Hyatt Place Hampton Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"We checked on Sunday, November 8th. Our check in was outstanding! I cannot recall his name, but the young gentleman was superb!! He provided us with excellent information and advice. He was an outstanding professional and gave us exceptional suggestions for the area and highly praised Hyatt. You have an outstanding individual. This professional should be recognized for his performance and dedication. We will definitely return to this Hyatt every time we are in the area. Bravo!!"

Comfort Suites Airport

8/10 Good

"We come here quite often because of my spouse’s medical doctors in the area. The front desk staff are friendly. The breakfast attendant (older AA woman) could put a smile on her face to welcome guests in the morning. I stopped going to the breakfast area because she appears to be unhappy with her job. I’d rather pay a restaurant visit elsewhere and enjoy folks who are happy serving their customers. The housekeepers do an exceptionally good job cleaning the rooms. The owners/management need to keep an eye out on the amount of moisture in the rooms. My clothes are typically damp the following morning. Lastly, we feel safe and secure in the hotel and its surroundings."

Renaissance Portsmouth-Norfolk Waterfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"I would expect at a Marriott property that Housekeeping would actually make the bed instead of just pulling up the sheet in the morning. Also, it’s very troubling that the young lady at the front desk spent all her time on her cell phone. From my room, I was calling the front desk to ask a question and called multiple times and she never answered the phone. I remember when Marriott used to be the gold standard for all hotels."
