I knew that I wouldn’t be at the hotel in time for check-in. I called the hotel two weeks prior to inform them of this. I was told that this would not be a problem and that it would be notated in the account. About a week after that, I informed them that the card on file was lost and asked how I would be able to put another card on file. No one responded to my inquiry. On the day of my arrival, May 8, 2026, I began driving to Norfolk, Virginia from Southampton, Long Island. Over 8 hours. I arrived on the property to no one in the lobby. There wasn’t a bell or any kind of way to call for a receptionist. After 15 minutes, a woman who worked the front desk emerged with a small man looking as though they’d been enjoying the night pretty thoroughly. She looked disheveled and unkempt. When she saw that my daughters and I were standing there she immediately looked annoyed. She asked me if I was checking in with a very rude demeanor. I answered yes. She then asked me what my last name was. She asked those two questions while still making her way around the counter. I told her my last name. She answered “What?” with attitude along with a neck roll and rolling her eyes. I yelled my last name back. Her little man of a boyfriend or fling chuckled behind me. She went on to say that my reservation was cancelled and my room given away. She did not see any notes that I would arrive late and no message about my card. I will never book a stay at the Residence Norfolk Airport, again.
