Hilton Norfolk The Main Reviews

This hotel is located right at the water where the cruise ships come in. It is close to museums, restaurants and the cruise ship port. All are within a short walking distance. The hotel is a nice Hilton hotel. They have a rooftop bar and a restaurant in addition to a coffee shop. There are no free breakfasts. Hilton likes you to use the Hilton App to check-in and check-out as well as a keyless key. You will need to tap and go to have the elevator take you to your floor, to enter your room and to enter the ice and vending room on your floor. I assume if you are older you can go up to the check-in desk on the second floor using the escalator and get a tap and go key card. The app and the entire check-in and check-out process is very convenient and easy. So there should be no excuse for the front desk not to answer the phone but it happened...a few times calling them from and outside phone line before we arrived. Now the room and the price. The room prices are very high. Nothing special in the rooms. However, the clock next to the bed didn't work, there was a large light stain on the carpet that apparently was cleaned but not removed, and you could hear a mechanical noise such as from a compressor. This room was an upgrade to a suite from a standard room since it was available according to the Hilton App. I suggest not to upgrade. On the return of our trip we stayed in the standard Hilton room. There was low water pressure and you could hear other doors in the hall close. Again the price was high even for the standard room. By the way, there is a lot of road, bridge and tunnel construction going on in this part of Virginia. Please allow at least an hour extra travel and never try to enter Norfolk during the afternoon rush hour.

Wonderful service and outstanding views on this rooftop bar. The food was delicious except my fish was a little oily for my taste, BUT the shrimp was the bomb .

Hilton Norfolk the Main is a gorgeous hotel. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. Grain, the rooftop restaurant has delicious food! We had a great brunch at Saltine. The hotel is right near Waterside and super close to MacArthur Mall. It was about a 15 walk to Chrysler Museum. The only thing I'd say is that the elevators were very slow. That won't stop me from staying here when I'm in Norfolk again!

Great place to stay, but ask for a view of the harbor. Short 2 blocks from the Battleship Wisconsin and the harbor Museum. Awesome seafood restaurant on the ground floor, but pricey. Parking is a little tricky, but the bell person informed us of what we needed to do. Would definitely return!

This hotel is so nice and grand, will most likely stay here when visiting Norfolk again.
