Sleep Inn & Suites Chesapeake - Portsmouth

I stayed at this hotel with my family over the weekend, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst experiences we’ve ever had. Upon check-in Friday, our room was not properly cleaned—there were stains on the comforter and what appeared to be blood on the curtain. That same evening, my 12-year-old niece was trapped in the swimming pool bathroom for 15 minutes because the door knob malfunctioned. The staff was unable to locate a key, and I ended up calling 911. Thankfully, my brother managed to break the door open, but my niece was terrified and in a state of panic. Despite this traumatic event, no one from the staff offered an apology or took responsibility, instead insisting the door knob wasn’t broken. Saturday brought more issues. A man claiming to be maintenance entered my father’s room (room 228) without notice, saying he was there to fix the TV. This was alarming as we were never informed about any maintenance visits.

Rude guest The hotel was nice and so was the customer service. The guest near our room were very rude and disrespectful. They allowed their children to run, scream, play in the hallway and the adults were just bad, if now worse because they should know better. The front desk associate did address the issue, but it lasted a short time. They eventually started up again and it was worse!!

It’s okay. Hotel is in a great location and has an indoor pool. Staff was amazing. The cons: the doors do not go all the way to the floor so you hear everything. Bathroom is very small, ceiling was stained and peeling. I found hair in the shower.

Good place to stay

Nice atmosphere. Smells good. Needed to ask for new sheets but other than that it’s a great place for a one night stay.
