Courtyard by Marriott Virginia Beach Norfolk

I had a phenomenal experience at this Courtyard Marriott. I'm a medical student studying in Washington, DC, and I needed a quick get away to focus and get some work done. The location is far enough from the crowds of the beach, but close enough to the beach to visit when I was ready to relax. Parking was simple and easy and free! Upon check in, I was greeted by a pleasant gentleman who made sure that my stay would be comfortable. It was even hassle free when I realized I forgot my toothpaste, and the staff at check in quickly assisted me. The cafe downstairs is delicious! The staff working at the cafe were both friendly and helpful when I came down for dinner and breakfast. I loved how the lobby/cafe had plenty of outlets for charging and wifi was easily accessible and free! This made studying even easier. The next morning, it was pouring outside and I realized that driving back in the rain to DC wasn't the best idea at the moment. Staff at check-in allowed me to check out an hour late and study in the lobby for a few hours until I was comfortable and ready to make my drive back. I don't think this is the place for a "family" to stay, but definitely a spot for a busy medical student like me who wanted to get away and to relax a bit. It's not often that you find a reasonably priced place with phenomenal staff and accomodations, like this hotel.

Walls were pretty thin, and I could see it being a problem if you get rowdy neighbors.
