Fair to middlin

The picture of the room looked better than what we experienced. The view of the ocean was nice. The whirlpool tub was in front of the window and next to the bed. Not ideal in my opinion. We did not use it. Small table and two chairs next to the tv. No carpet. Bathroom was small and the towels were shabby and worn. We had booked for two nights but only stayed one night. The staff was nice but it was not a place I would go to again. If you are looking for a location on the beach, it is on the boardwalk and the beach is beautiful.

Do it

Great view of the beach and the boardwalk. It was fun to watch the sun rise from the balcony and watching the surfers. The room was clean and comfortable. Getting the hot tub was a great idea, very relaxing at the end of the day.

Upon arrival we were greeted very nicely and promptly, room was available and we checked in with ease. Upon inspection of the room we found a small infestation of bugs on the ceiling and we had to move rooms which they accommodated. Without any argument. The second room was nice, needed to be updated but was clean and everything worked fine. The second room was on the 1st floor which had a nice set of chairs that we could sit outside and watch the water. We did enjoy the pool also which was nice also. Overall it was a good experience but the hotel could use some much needed updates.

Overall, the stay was amazing. Virginia Beach is beautiful & now the beach i will be going to. Since the hotel is at the northmost end, there’s limited shopping & dining without walking a long way. The hotel was a bit outdated, but served our needs very well.

Inexpensive but comfortable

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel and would book again in the future. It was nice and quiet, the bed was so comfortable! Everything we needed was in walking distance! We spent most of our time at the beach and on the strip so it was perfect for our needs! The pool was great for my 6’3 finance who took pleasure swimming in the 8 ft deep pool! I would book here again it was so nice to be able to walk to the beach and then to the pool, to our room, to various restaurants! Everything was so close and convenient!

we loved our stay! The location is great, it is clean, and the staff is friendly. I did have some issues with trying to have sensible changes made. The staff was friendly, but was not able to help make even the most simple of changes for even the simplest of change, they will have you contact whoever you made your third-party booking with.. this definitely needs work…I’ll definitely be back
