Hilton Norfolk The Main Reviews

I know the pictures are odd, but I absolutely loved the art around the whole hotel. Loved it! The rooms were really nice, I liked how many hangers there were because I was able to hang everything I brought. The bed was a great size with comfy pillows, but the bed wasn't super comfy. I loved my view, though (I believe the even numbers look over the city, the odd looks over the river). There are a few restaurants inside that were so good. We loved Saltine for our happy hour (hello...50c oysters?!). A drink on the rooftop bar by the fire was a great way to end the day, and I only grabbed breakfast once at the other restaurant (which name I can't remember); it was okay, but $22 for a continental buffet was a bit pricey. I was there for a conference and the conference rooms were freezing, so glad I brought sweaters, but I was still cold. The lunches were catered by the hotel but not good, I doubt it was the same food that was in the restaurants because the quality was very different. Also, the coffee was not very good. However, there is a coffee shop in the hotel on the bottom floor so that was nice. Not amazing, but better than the conference coffee. Oh! The elevators are sssllloooooooooowwwwwww so leave early if you're on an upper floor. My keys didn't work in the stairwell (which I tried using because it was quicker than the elevator) but was told that the stairs are more for emergencies, not for regular use. So that was odd. All in all, I'd go back. It was a great location, pretty view, I didn't feel unsafe, and lots nearby.

Stopped in for lunch on our way to the outer banks, they had just opened. Service was prompt and attentive, great beer selection. Views were amazing but the food was mediocre to good, but not great. The sweet potatoes with the roasted chicken were very under cooked, pretzel bun with my burger seemed a few days old already and was falling apart and dry. Chicken was moist and flavorful, fries were a little over seasoned as well, not super crispy. Overall a decent lunch spot, especially if the patio is open but had a few misses when we stopped.

Very hard beds is the only thing that we had an issue with. Everything else was good.

Very busy place, live music. Food was ok

Visited restaurants. Not impressed.
