Residence Inn by the airport gives you a living room apart from the beds. Every suite has a fully equipped kitchen and separate living and sleeping areas, breakfast is hot and free, and the pool is indoor and heated.
It's about 2.4 road miles from ORF and 7.4 from the terminal by our routing, with $10 parking and no shuttle to either.
The fine print is the dog: two pets at most, 30 lb each, $150 a stay — a small-dog hotel, not a big-dog one. And you must be 21.
Book it for a family that needs the extra room — and plan the morning drive downtown.
