Fodor's Expert Review Norfolk Marriott Waterside

Located in the redeveloped downtown area, this hotel is near the Waterside Festival Marketplace shopping area, and it's close to Town Point Park, the site of many festivals. The handsome lobby, with wood paneling, a central staircase, silk tapestries, and Federal-style furniture, sets a high standard that continues throughout the hotel. Rooms are somewhat small, but outfitted with everything the business traveler could ask for—including two telephones, voice mail, and Internet access.
