We love coming to the glass house. The rooms are nice and clean. Breakfast is always good but understaffed today. It took 1.5 hrs to get food. No hot coffee refills due to the guy had all the tables to himself. We went up front to pay . I did ask ahead of time for a corner room but they were unable to accommodate. We will still continue to use this hotel.

Classy hotel. Decor was amazing but needed to be dusted. The deadbolt did not work in the first room I had so they moved my room as requested. No complaints. Relaxing stay. Convenient location.

Our first trip to Norfolk and we had a great visit and this hotel allowed us to walk all over to see many great sites and eat at some amazing places.
5.0 / 5.0
The property was wonderful but the beds are too low to the ground for me. Also, the parking could be easier along with getting back into the property from the garage.
4.0 / 5.0
Great visual design but not great if you need to work from the hotel as there is no proper desk area with a proper chair. Better if you are traveling for fun.

Beautiful property & rooms. Very convenient to shops & dining & entertainment. Staff was very quick & accommodating. Only complaint i would have is that the room service staff didnt seem to pay attention to certain details. Coffee in the room wouldn't be stocked, dirty coffee cups left behind & it was extremely obvious they dont put fresh sheets on daily.
5.0 / 5.0
The attached art gallery was a plus and made time at the hotel enjoyable. Nice to be out of the room and explore the facilities more.

This is a beautiful hotel. We were in town for a Norfolk Tides game and the light rail line is a three minute walk from the hotel. Lots of amenities within walking distance.

3.0 / 5.0
The selected furniture for the rooms were only conducive to snaking your toes or knees on them. Too big and boxy for small space.
Very little water pressure in sink and shower. Could NOT use overhead shower as it was very very slow.

The hotel was really nice
4.0 / 5.0
Property was gorgeous and conveniently located to the Waterside District. The hotel vast service was kind and quick. The only issue was the television not working in the room due to a “key lock” issue that couldn’t be resolved through engineering (they were gone for the night) or YouTube. The hotel comped breakfast as a result but it was still inconvenient to not have a tv. This is the only reason the hotel received 4 out of 5 stars. I would definitely return for another stay.

Pipes in the bathroom made a scary sound when the toilet was flushed but otherwise the place was fine.
Layout and decor were nice. Staff was friendly and parking was easy.

My stay at Glass Light was my first overnight visit to Norfolk. The hotel exhibits were nothing less than amazing and the nearby dining and shopping opportunities remarkable. I especially liked the waterfront and the Navy exhibits. We visited Selden Market twice and we will definitely return. Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback.

Beautiful hotel with a glass art gallery inside it. Lots of beautiful pieces to look at and admire. Room was elegant and super clean. Shower was beautiful with a glass door and sleek subway tile. Really comfortable mattress and linens. Ice by request. Everything we needed and more!
5.0 / 5.0
The only issue we had was that there wasn't any hot water for showering in the morning due to the building being old. We were told that maintenance was working on it but it did not resolve before we checked out.
3.0 / 5.0
Asked for servicing and it wasn’t done. Went to front desk Friday 5/17 in late afternoon and let them know. Person working said housekeeping was done for the day. I said there is a pile of wet towels & I need cleaned towels and bed changed. She replied “well I guess I have to do it myself”. Came back from dinner & sheets & towels were thrown on bed. Told front desk the next morning & room was serviced
