Norfolk, Virginia

Very nice hotel within walking distance of the cruise port and lots of food choices. A good place to have your rideshare drop you off before or after your cruise instead of the cruise port.
Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel

A bit more basic than the Towe Place Suites down the street, but clean and a decent breakfast
