Hotels Near Lane Bryant in Norfolk

At check-in the clerk seemed a bit irritated or ready to go. I usually get great customer service when I stay here. I guess she was having a bad day.

We checked in on May 13, 2023. Not happy at all from the start.................... First off lets start with the front desk.... 1. The front desk associate was highly rude to my family and I, upon getting to the front desk he gave us a head nod for us to proceed to the desk ( not professional at all) We did not get a hey how are you, welcome to the Sheraton none of that!!! The response that we got from the associate was” this is how I talk to everyone” If this is the case then the front desk is not where he should be working at all. However, there was a young man Tyquorie I think that is his name that works at the front desk he was very sweet when I went back to the front desk to ask for assistance. 2. We get upstairs to our room and I instantly pull back the sheets and there is hair in the beds and the mattress pads are dirty. To put the icing on the cake the corner of the mattress was disgusting... I did not want my children nor myself and girlfriend laying in that, but all the surrounding hotels were sold out and we were there celebrating my moms birthday. When I approached the housekeepers he got upset with me because I asked for clean bed linens and her response to me was ”I just cleaned the room and she was not gonna change the sheets” this made me even more upset than I already was. The housekeeping supervisor (Kenneth) he was awesome, I showed him what I was talking about and he attempted to get me straight. 3. The room had a 32 inch television that sat in the corner of the dresser 4. When we got into the room we only had 1 wash clothe ( it was 4 of us in that room) I went down too the front desk and asked for 3 towels and 4 wash clothes (at 6 pm) and we never received them. I then called at 7:30 and asked again and did not receive them, the third time I called I was told that they could not give me what i was asking for. Then at 9:30 someone knocked on our door with linens. I work at a hotel and no one should be treated like this at all!! It was really sad honestly. I most likely will be contacting corporate office about this because I know all hotels have a standard and I am pretty sure that this is not acceptable at all. I expected so much more from the Sheraton on the water in Norfolk VA!!!! The sad thing about it is that I was hoping to have a great experience. We did not at all!! Not even worth $243.00 per night

Overall pleasant experience. The hotel staff and other hotel guests were very nice and hospitable. We were there for a Women's Retreat (Zion Church). I had to switch rooms after the first night because my room was right above the outside patio and it does not close until 2am so I didn't get much sleep on the 1st night. They changed my room with no problem afterwards so I did not have go through that experience again. Terrance is a gem, he was the staff captain in our conference room and he made sure we all were taken care of and all dietary options were satisfied. His customer service is top notch. There were two other Ladies that went above and beyond to take care of us and I failed to get their names. One had a tattoo near her ear and neck area, she was so sweet and kind. I would definitely stay here again in the future as it is near shops, malls, restaurants, the waterfront etc.

The room was very clean

Awesome

Here is the scoop On the positive side the rooms are large, the location is very good, especially for Old Dominion University, and the breakfast is okay with a couple of good hot selections. The shower was decent as well. On the negative side, the rooms and furniture are dated, the air con and heating system is old, loud, and located so that most of the air blows between the curtain and the window (after running all night at a setting of 70, our room dropped only to 78 degrees). The rooms are only serviced if you make a specific request (although you are not told this until you question why the room was not attended). After two nights someone finally came in and made our bed, provided clean towels, and did nothing else. On our hall there were a number of rooms with trash placed outside the door, where it sat for more than 18 hours waiting for the ”cleaning” staff. Not very appealing as you are walking to your room. Neither at check-in or in the room was there any written information provided about the hotel. It's also helpful to know the internet password, how to navigate an unfamiliar TV set up, and the hours for breakfast, the grill restaurant, the pool, etc. When

Hilton honors member and this will probably be my first and last stay at Tru. We were only there for a night but definitely used to better. We weren’t allowed to check in 20 mins early. Receptionist said there were no clean rooms-weren’t buying it but ok whatever we waited. Then later, arrived back from an event at 12:40 and my digital key didn’t work. I guess the night receptionist was napping because I spent 15 minutes buzzing, banging, and calling the desk before she got off the sofa to let me into the hotel.

Up to the usual (low) standard I often see at an HGI. This one was last cleaned properly before COVID and the main issue is staffing. The receptionist was the rudest, most disinterested person I've had the displeasure of interacting with. The whole interaction just left me shaking my head as to how someone with such poor interpersonal skills could end up in this customer-facing position... The room itself was tired, dirty and depressing. It was a suite, but the main room was a huge space with a single sofa shoved in the corner. The bed was very worn, with a big impression in the space where 1000's of bodies have been before. The shower was a walk in that left a huge pool of water on the floor and the water took ages to run warm. Breakfast was another example of where cost-cutting is king. There was one server and one cook, and it took 30 minutes to get an omelette . I don't blame the server, she was running around like crazy, there just weren't enough staff for the volume of people at breakfast. There was also a very poor selection of fruit, yogurt etc. Just minimal effort. Overall a very disheartening stay. I won't be coming back!
