Fairfield on Burton Station Road is built for an early flight. The complimentary ORF shuttle runs 5 AM to 10 PM on request, breakfast starts at 6 on weekdays and is free, parking is free and the pool is indoor and heated.
For a cruise it's the far side of the airport, about 8.6 road miles to the terminal by our routing — and the shuttle doesn't go there.
No pets, and you must be 21. The Comfort Inn & Suites next door is the one with a 14-night parking package, if leaving the car is the point.
Book it for the airport run, and book a cab downtown for sail morning.
