Marriott Chesapeake

Each year, for the past 5 to 6 years I believe, my husband and I have been coming back here to enjoy a night or two away… typically sometime around my birthday in February. The fact that we come back here year after year should imply, to some extent anyways, that this place is truly worth coming back for… but I would like to spend just a few moments writing about what sets this hotel apart from so many others in the local area. I mean I realize you have your options in this area… and may want to know why this one is one of the BEST options in the whole of Hampton Roads period… PERIOD!
Firstly, the staff. They are friendly, helpful, and truly want to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Anytime we needed ANYTHING, they were there to help in any way they could to ensure our stay was enjoyable. I even forgot my fan… NO, not the fan?! AH! Jeremy was a life saver in jumping right in to save the day by locating one on my behalf so that my sleep would indeed be found more easily that night… ahhh…so nice! ZZZZZ :)
Secondly, the location is perfect to go pretty much anywhere at anytime… your about 5 minutes or less from anything you could possibly want to get to (depending on the traffic that is). Within a 3 to 5 minute drive radius we enjoyed great places to eat, a movie, shopping, the list could go on and on… but your not interested in hearing about my birthday adventure, but rather this hotel… so lest I waste anymore of your time, let me get back on track!
The hotel itself… well in the words of Mary Poppins, «Practically perfect in EVERY way»! If your not feeling that way, just let any of the very helpful Marriott staff members know, they will do everything in their power to get you on the Mary Poppins bandwagon too so that you too will feel as well taken care of and treasured as I felt on my wonderful stay here!
The room was great, the staff was great, and don’t even get me started on their ridiculously good Concierge Lounge… that is one thing you should DEFINITELY spend a few extra dollars for! This lounge has everything a person who’d rather not have to leave the hotel, could ever want. Breakfast (served from 6:30am to 9:30am during the week)…fresh made to order eggs or omelettes, bacon… and lots of other options as well (fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, ect). Throughout the day you can easily hop in to use their private PC to print out whatever you might need. In addition to that, snacks, fresh fruit, hot tea (options galore), coffee (Starbucks), and soda (pepsi products) are there to partake at your leisure (all of which you can just easily hop in and snag so you can bring them back to the confines of your own private room). The hors d’oeuvres, served from 5:30pm to 7:30pm during the week, is pretty much a dinner by most people’s standards… I mean what would you call turkey, a pea and carrot medley, a garlic roll, and fresh salad? Not only that, it was a freshly made whole turkey, cut and served on your plate by one of the very helpful concierge staff members so we could partake in whatever cut of meat we so desired. SO nice! From 7:30pm to 10pm you can hop in for desserts… please tell me one good reason you shouldn’t invest a few extra dollars for this Marriott’s Concierge Lounge?! That’s right people, there is no reason at all you shouldn’t if you like to just have most things within your finger tips to have and enjoy within your hotel stay!
Will we be coming back next year for rest, relaxation, and a wonderful hotel stay? I sure hope so! This is one of those places that you just don’t want to have to leave… but life must move on… and my sister can’t stay with the kiddos forever :) So back to mommyville I go… refreshed, revived, and savoring each precious day of life God has blessed me with! Thank you Chesapeake Marriott Staff for all you do to make each person’s stay so pleasant! It does make a difference, and we are so very grateful to each one of you!

I throughly enjoyed my 2night stay here.
I checked in about 3pm on Friday with no hassle. There was no wait in line and the hospitality was on point as soon as I stepped foot in the door.
I was greeted upon arrival… outside the building by the concierge. Okok… heyyy… then I walked in… the bartender and chef welcomed me too. I was like wow… all this positive energy… this is what I call over the top customer service.
I arrived at the front desk and J. Hunt checked me in. Oh her spirit was super pleasant and she was on point with everything. The checkin was seamless.
I booked one night online and decided to add another night at the point of check in… smooth.
So we stayed in room #412 which is a larger studio with a king size bed. I walked in and was in awe. I had never been in a larger studio before. But trust this will not be my last.
I walked in to the left is the bathroom: one sink, one toilet, and a walk-​in shower. Now while the bathroom size was cool, there was no exhaust fan and the shower was only closed in on one side. Wait a min… I love steam but with this set up there wasn’t much steam. :(minus a half of star.
There’s a mini marble floor hallway before you reach the carpeted room. There’s a coffee table in the middle, two love seats, one chair and two end tables. A flat screen TV and a desk top with a rolling chair is present. Then you have a king size bed with 2 nightstands. Lamps on both sides and reading lights attached to the headboard on each end.
So yeah this open floor was perfect for my 8 year old. Once we pushed the furniture back she had her own stunt and flipping area. Entertainment for her!
A mini frig and coffee maker are present too. A microwave is available upon request.
Plenty of lighting and a large window for natural light to enter.
Comfy bed and pillows.
This room: 1 king bed and a sofa bed.
The Fitness area was on point. Not busy at all and it included all the essentials: free weights, treadmill, leg lift machine, step machine, bike… it’s equipped! ! Fruit and water and TV’s are present.
The pool… heated! !! Felt so good. Friday night the water felt good, but Saturday morning it was even warmer! ! Large pool, but no hot tub or sauna :(minus a half of a star.
Breakfast at 725 Bistro… yummmmm!
Happy hour at 725 Lounge… ahmazing!
I’d recommend this hotel 100%!!
Attractions nearby… shopping nearby… great location!
Have fun :)

We stayed at another hotel and was told to go over there for food… My husband and I had a burger and beers at the bar and it was AWSOME! Great service…

I would love to give five stars but that extra star was left on the world’s slowest elevators.
The furniture in my room was tired and worn out. I would think on the concierge level that things should be nicer.

My family and I stayed here 06÷13−06÷26÷15 while our home was being renovated. First off, the hotel is larger than the outside appearance. Beautifully colored scenery, carpet, furniture, and paintings. My only problem with this hotel was the Animé Midatlantic Convention that took place 06÷17−061÷9. The hotel failed to notify guests that there would be people in blue, white, silver, and green wigs, tails, Spider-​Man, Sailer Moon, Dragon Ball Z outfits etc. throughout the hallways having extremely loud conversations. Unfortunately, it got worse when I attempted to re-​park in the very same parking space I’d parked in two hours earlier. A not so very nice man who apparently worked for the convention shouted to me (not came over and explained) the space was for a VIP guest. I called the front desk and spoke with very nice woman named Jennifer who came and allowed me to park in the space due to the fact that weren’t special parking restrictions in place. He gave an apology, however, the disrespect was already implied. Needless to say, the hotel was generous enough to formally apologize & offer my next stay at a discounted rate.
Marriott Woodlake: Very nice and attentive staff members who honestly don’t mind going the extra mile. The beds are advertised as queen but feel like doubles. Beautiful, generous spacious bathrooms with marble and granite countertops.
My only recommendation for this hotel is that if you’re traveling in the summer months, BEWARE of the Animé MidAtlantic Convention.

Not the best Marriott but definitely not a flea bag motel.
The customer service here is pretty good. The front desk attendants are nice, inviting and informative. the hotel is split into 2 different parts; rooms and amenities.
Upon arrival even though we request a room with double beds, since we were a party of 3, they told us that was not available and provided a cot. There was a convention, a wedding and a family reunion going on so we didn’t have much leverage with that. The lady who delivered the cot to the room wasn’t nice and got an attitude when we asked her to put the cot down. She threw the sheets on the bed and left. Didn’t even dress the bed.
The door for our room was sticking, so we had issues getting in and out the first night to the point where we had to call security to get us in the room. After that I guess they fixed it the next day.
Breakfast buffet that was included with our room wasn’t epic but it didn’t suck. Croissants were available as well as other light options. The seating area was beautiful. Way nicer than the breakfast served.
Over all pretty decent stay but for the nightly price I expected more since this area has too many hotels, like miles of hotels, and this is The Marriott, not any of the spin offs but the mother of the babies.
This was a Meh experience but not enough to give it 2 stars, pretty average.

Nice property, but staff appeared somewhat overwhelmed, and service was lacking. I am appreciative of how this can happen, as I am in the business myself. Called ahead to verify I would receive 2 Queen beds in my room, was told no problem. I was traveling with 2 other ladies. Arrive and they have a king allocated, and are oversold the room type with 2 queens. I ask what else they can offer, and they give a junior suite, 1 king bed and a pull out sofa, which was fine, but they charged me $ 70 more per night. Which was a bit of a surprise to me and my friends. I would not complain, but when I have been in the very same situation at my hotel, we do not up charge the guest. Also– no bell carts or assistance offered to bring in my luggage, and I could not use the pool all weekend as it was constantly filled to capacity with screaming children. I know the hotel has no control over who uses the pool, put perhaps 30 mins before closing a quiet time?
I found the breakfast buffet to be overpriced for what was available– auto pancake machine was not working, and the items were dashed about on Saturday morning at 6:30am. Food and Beverage staff was very nice. Front desk agent that checked me in was not very communicative, I could not understand what she wanted me to do, come back when room ready. She also was not too pleasant, because of the 2 queen request.
The entire stay was just overpriced, and under whelming for the price we paid.
We tried to go to the bar on Saturday night, and the smell was awful, causing us to go to dinner at Joe’s Crab Shack.
It does not seem to matter if you call ahead to make sure what you booked, you receive.

Find another hotel !! Do not stay here. The 90’s are far past and that is a blessing. But when I checked in today for my one night business stay I thought Vanilla Ice was going to play in the overly large check-​in area.
I love Marriott. I am a gold member and I stay in various Marriotts up and down the east coast. But for god’s sake can you please fast forward to 2015. The red lava lamp bolted to the desk was horrid. Also, can you please clean the brown stains from the ottoman.
The bathroom lighting was so bad I put soap in places I should not have.
Yes, yes they were very nice/​friendly at the desk but I’m not sleeping at the check-​in desk. I’m sleeping in a very bland room in a bland hotel for $ 200/​night. Not worth it. Never go back.
Also, go in a check out huge, asylum like hallways in the lobby area. Who are they expecting? Rick and the rest of the survivors from the Walking Dead?

Good full service property and as a Platinum elite with the Marriott Rewards program, I was upgraded to a room on the concierge level and given access to the Concierge Lounge. Sadly, they put me in room 716 and there was a bit of «bing bing» from the elevator and some hallway noise.
The room was clean and comfortable. The bed was a little soft but also good. Internet worked well.
The bathroom had a walk-​in shower that was strange. Only half of the area had glass, making for a rather chilly experience. Next time, I think I’d take the tub when given the choice.
Check-​in clerk was great. And the attendant in the lounge was also very nice, but the breakfast spread was very meh. Scrambled eggs, sausages, bread for a toaster that was slow, coffee that was also meh. Not the best Concierge Lounge I’ve experienced.
Plenty of free parking. The property is located right off the Interstate.

Loved this hotel and all of the staff. Tammy who worked the bar was very nice & very accommodating.

Was not impressed. I was disappointed with the maintenance and upkeep. This is not your typical Marriott. Bathroom was nice but everything else was overlooked.

I’m writing about the exercise room, which I’m currently in. They have two elliptical machines one squeaks every time it goes around and the other doesn’t work. The equipment seems worn and not taken care of or maintained. It does have 5 treadmills but i didn’t try them.
I just tried the leg machine and pulley doesn’t stay tight it gets caught and becomes loose slowly lowering the weights… broken!

Where does the Marriott get those insanely comfy beds? Great customer service, received free breakfast ticket because they didn’t have any roll — away beds. Overall great stay.

Typical Marriott, with their ridiculously cozy beds. Large bathrooms. But wow, the shampoo, conditioner, and lotion stinks. Literally. Thank God I brought my own.
The restaurant is nice and serves large portions for a good price. I’d visit just for lunch.
This is the perfect property if you have an event at the Chesapeake Conference Center, as it is in reasonable walking distance. Just a parking lot away.

Good fitness center and pool. Lousy wifi, as signal was weak and slow most of the time, and no service some of the time!
Concierge lounge might offer the smallest offerings of breakfast items I have ever seen at a «full service» Marriott (no oatmeal, only one hot item-​scrambled eggs, only pork to accompany eggs, poor fruit offerings, etc.)
Free self-​parking. Good quality sheets and a/​c in room.
Friendly & Helpful front office staff.

Great Marriott Property (platinum member) that has all the features you expect in a full scale Marriott. When I Unilocal I don’t complain about dogs barking, it rained the whole time, or anything else that the property cannot control so take it to heart. The staff was great and friendly, the bar and restaurant staff was helpful. The bedding was maybe to good, almost overslept. Indoor pool and gym was solid. Concierge lounge was nicely stocked. There are multiple restaurants within 2 miles of property. Over all it’s a solid 4 star property, which in my scales is excellent. Highly recommended if in the Chesapeake area.

A solid Marriott property. Friendly service, clean and spacious rooms, and great amenities. I don’t care for the location, as it’s kind of in the middle of nowhere, and not near the metro areas. But if you don’t mind the commute, this is a solid choice.

Very pleasant stay here recently.
A nice, clean, modern hotel with lots of parking.
We were greeted immediately by super friendly front desk staff. I always appreciate when they acknowledge my Marriott status, as many hotels just don’t.
The room was large and clean. No complaints.
We ate a quick dinner at the bar– what a cool bar area! Dinner was good, my mom loved the she crab soup. The service from the bartender was super friendly.
The breakfast buffet left something to be desired. I think they only had one over worked waitress, and I couldn’t find anyone to make me an omelet to save my life. The selection, however, was better than average.
If you’re in the area, I’d recommend this place.

Best hotel in the area, I’m a regular

Stayed here last minute due to my unexpected trip to VA beach. I showed up around 7pm with no reservation; luckily, they had rooms available. The girl at the front desk whom checked me in was extremely polite and friendly, made me check in very quick as I was ready to get in my room. I do not normally stay at Marriott chains but this one was Superb! My room and bathroom was extremely clean and spacious! Even the décor was suitable for my trendy taste. The best part was the bed (which I’m very big on at any hotel) The bed was WONDERFUL! Well except for when I saw it in the morning which I will get to you in a sec… The down comforter was great! The bed so so soft and had plenty of soft fluffy pillows which I personally love.
I only have 2 flaws about this place. One, when I woke up the next morning I noticed what appeared to be food stains on the white flat sheets on the other side of the bed. That really spoiled what I thought to be a wonderful room.
The 2^nd flaw was the noise factor. Of course this is not the hotel’s fault but there was a family with a little girl that was in the room across from me who was screaming loudly at around 9:30pm for a while. Then at around 1:30am this child was in the hallway screaming at the top of her lungs and the parents slamming the door! That really irritated me and if I was not so exhausted I would have complained which I did not.
Other than that I would give this place another chance…
