"Location, Location, Location"

If you're looking for somewhere central to stay in Norfolk, look no further than Main. It's located just a few blocks away from Tidewater Drive and Waterside, right in the thick of the city itself. Also, this is the street you will find a great little bagel shop called Chesapeake Bagel Bakery. Its a local chain and it is great.

"Straight shot down the middle"

I like E Main Street mainly because I like to see city skylines and how a city portrays its strength and growth through its skyline. E Main Street cuts through the center of Downtown, passing by some of Norfolk's tallest skyscrapers such as the Bank of America building, Main Street Tower, the Marriott Hotel and the Norfolk Southern building. During Christmastime, it's beautiful because all the towers are lined with white Christmas lights. A peaceful walk at night time.

"A central location, but nothing special"

As a rule, we don’t like to stay in chains, but stayed at the Waterside Marriott. It was ok, nothing especially charming or unique. However, E. Main Street is a great place to stay because although not on the water (despite the name), it is a good, central location and you can walk to a lot of attractions and shopping.
