Top Chesapeake Bay Hotel Reviews

Comfort Suites Airport

Comfort Suites Airport

10/10 Excellent
"I had a fantastic experience staying at the Comfort Suites Newport News Airport. From the moment I checked in, the front desk staff was welcoming, professional, and efficient, making the entire check-in process seamless.  Highlights of the stay: Spacious & Spotless Room: The suite was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and spacious. Having a separate sitting area with a sofa, plus a mini-fridge and microwave, made it feel much more like a home than a standard hotel room. The bed was extremely comfortable, ensuring a quiet, restful night's sleep.  Prime Location & Airport Shuttle: The proximity to Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport (PHF) is unbeatable—less than five minutes away. The complimentary shuttle service was prompt and convenient. Plus, being right off Jefferson Avenue puts you close to plenty of dining and shopping options.  Great Amenities: The hot breakfast buffet provided a great variety of options to get the day started. The indoor pool and fitness center were clean and well-kept, which was a great bonus.  Exceptional Hospitality: Every staff member I interacted with was genuinely friendly and eager to help with local recommendations or extra amenities.  Whether you are traveling for business, visiting military families nearby, or taking a road trip through Hampton Roads, this property delivers top-notch value and reliability. I will definitely stay here again!"
