Clean, safe and cute.
This cute hotel is charming, clean and the owners are awesome. It's super quiet and safe with a lovely courtyard to enjoy coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night. It's very close to the water (quick walk) and the bed was very comfortable. I will stay here again!

Small but very comfortable. Owner was very pleasant. Gave us info on the local restaurants. The only thing i would change is a king size bed option. Would definitely stay here again if we were ever in the area.

Gem near the water
The room was clean and bed was comfortable. There is a small courtyard area with some chairs that looked inviting. Checking/checkout was simple. I appreciated the step-back-in-time Motor Hotel feel to the property and would recommend it.

Nice one-night stay
The host was excellent and friendly, the location was fantastic - one block from the bay shoreline, so a beach run was easy. The shared central outdoor area looked cozy and the small vegetable garden added a nice touch.

Nice jewel in the neighborhood
Loved my stay! Will definitely return.
Quite, no bugs, no odd smells.
I Go to Norfolk 2X per year for one week each.
First place with daily housekeeping service in 4 years.
Beautiful renovations to the room.
The small details like a hand soap dispenser and ice tray made it cozy.
Best shower water pressure ever.
