Local Hotels

There are many hotels in the surrounding area. Room rates vary depending upon the hotel, size of the room and time of the year. Visit the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce website for more information on accommodations. Note: Check with the Navy Lodge or Navy Gateway Inn & Suites for availability. The service member must receive a Certificate of Non-Availability statement prior to staying in a hotel for Temporary Lodging Expense to be payed when on PCS orders.

Navy Gateway Inns and Suites at Northwest has 33 rooms for military or civilian personnel. The majority of the spaces are no-cost beds reserved for active-duty personnel. For permanent change of station, space available or no-cost travelers, reservations should be made in advance by calling the Navy Gateway Inns and Suites directly at 757-394-9053. For all other travelers, please call 877-628-9233 for reservations. Cribs are available for families with small children and two ADA rooms. All rooms are nonsmoking. Reservations for PCS orders can be made five days prior to arrival depending on the availability. One pet room available, but visit the Fleet and Family Support Center for accommodations in the local community.

Reservations are accepted for all eligible personnel on an as-received basis. Official guests and visitors of the command may stay at the visitors quarters and Navy Lodges. Reservations are to be made and guaranteed by the sponsor. Family members staying at VQ and Navy Lodges without the military member are required to show their identification at check-in. Guests of military personnel may stay at Navy Lodges provided the military member is present at check-in. Reservations and room assignments are made without regard to rank, rate or time of reservations. You may make advance reservations based on your classification; keep in mind you may receive priority based on PCS orders.

We recommend you make advance hotel/motel reservations in order to assure you have a place to stay while seeking permanent housing. The approximate cost of a unit at the visitors quarters or Navy Lodge is about $100 per day. Civilian hotels/motels are available in all price ranges. Many of them exceed the VQ and Navy Lodge especially in the summer months.

The visitors quarters will not accept pets. However, the Navy Lodge accepts pets up to 50 pounds. Some of the local hotels will accept pets for an additional room fee. Fleet and Family Support Center can assist you in finding pet accommodations.

Length of stay depends on availability. Please contact the visitors quarter, Navy Lodge or local hotel/motel for more information.
