The search should pull up
Courtyard by Marriott Norfolk Downtown
520 E Plume St
Norfolk, VA, 23510
866-539-0036
They do have rooms, and you can walk, stumble or super quick taxi - it is 0.18 miles from the event.
As a comparison - the 2 Hotels that we have deals with - the Sheraton is 0.4 miles from the event and the Marriott is 0.17 miles from the event.
So the Courtyard is really close by!!! Want a room? Try them
BTW:
One thing that EVERYONE needs to know -
At the lunch stop, NO food, NO drinks, NO alcohol can be brought into the pool area!!
Only you and a towel! That rule will be strictly enforced by the marina staff. That is their rule and they want us to abide by it.
Everything is falling into place nicely. I'll load a picture of the truckload of booze if I can. The bar list is - WOW!
