Called to change my date at the hotel workers didnt speak good English at all and when I had to ask them the same question more than once so I could understand them they got mad and hung up. Its not my fault that they couldn't speak a language that most Americans do.... I very rarely leave reviews but I think this needed to be put out there I would never stay here or recommend this place to anyone!

The room was not clean and dusty; it smelled weed and cigarette smoke. When request room change, got denied, have to turn on bathroom fan all the time. The A/C works very well. Amenities were poor, only two towels available despite request for four. No tissue paper and ice bin. Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body wash in the container (that meant to be in the dispenser) without dispenser. No hook anywhere in the room for towels. Breakfast stated in website 2 prices; with and without breakfast. When asking, staff said Do not have today, maybe tomorrow! when acquire the next day said it only provides coffee and juice!

Close to beach, rooms were never cleaned, had to empty are own trash, never got fresh towels. Property was dirt trash about parking lot, stairwell was dirty and smelled as well as elevator. Television was broke until day before we left even after reporting it to staff multiple times, staff spoke little to no English and didn't understand much Englis. Continental breakfast was cereal bars, coffee and juice.

Room was very disappointing it smelled like smoke and was dirty. We wanted to leave as soon as we got in but we were only there for 2 nights, which we only stayed one night. If you are really on a budget then its the place to stay even though they are not that cheap compared to beach front.

Look under the bed liner covers- The bed is covered in hair and mold. Floors so dirty they turned my socks black, extremely high VOC cleaning chems made my nose burn, pubic hairs on bathroom floor molding and toilets take multiple attempts to flush. A/C was the only perfect. WiFi was only OK. Very dirty walkways and common areas. I watched people check out and new people check in Within 2-3 hours. Asked the ladies to mop and only had time to provide me with xtra floor towels. This is a one night max stay or by the hour kinda place. Convince for location, nightmare for families. Id give this place a few stars if I had paid under $25/night

The bathtub had rust in it or some brown stuff in the tub didn’t have a coffee pot in the room. I had three rooms. Some of the rooms didn’t have shower soap for the showers. We need the light bulbs for one of the lamps some black dirt or something was up in the ceiling I wouldn’t recommend nobody going there unless just handle money it was homeless or something. I think they need to renovate the whole place and they sayl but from what he told me, it wasn’t a breakfast just orange juice and a yoga and coffee

Here is an honest review.

The hotel staff is not always available when needed, as they are also responsible for maintaining the property, i.e. no dedicated receptionist. Can’t blame the staff for working with what they had.

The breakfast amenity was a joke. The only option was coffee, juice, a tiny yogurt and 1 pastry option. The two 1 1/2in pastries were about as bad as you may find prepackaged in a gas station. The coffee was…coffee, but tolerable if in a pinch. Breakfast delivery was an hour late one day, and the main office was locked and staff was no where to be found. Therefore, not accessible during the breakfast hours. Offering some fruit would have made a huge difference honestly.

The rooms were adequate for a place to lay your head. Mattresses are old, hard and outdated spring mattresses. Really gross to look at. The floors were filthy and slippery when we arrived, and even after being cleaned it wasn’t a major improvement. Wore socks the whole time and the white socks were black after 1 day.

This hotel room was poorly cleaned and several people were in the office complaining about it along with me. THe only plus is taht parking was easy, and it is close to the beach. THere was NO breakfast as they stated, unless you find semi-chilled yogurt acceptable. The office was even dirty. No napkins for clean up from coffee. Trash overflow. The beds were comfortable enough, but the floor was so gross we did not take our shoes off in the room. There was hair in all the corners of the room adn in the mini fridge. The phone and hairdryer did not work in the room, and only one small trash basket, 2 towels and 2 washclothes. There was no soap, shampoo or anything!!Will NOT recommend, or go back. We paid for three nights but did not sleep there all three due to the conditions.

Well the bathroom light blinked constantly like a strobe light.The floor was so dirty if you walked on it bare foot your feet was instantly black .The sheets and pillowcase had stains.The receptacles was broken where you could not charge any devices .The bathroom door needs to be trimmed so you don't have to snatch it open.The next door occupants dog was barking.The handy man whoever done fixing things had no clue to do his job correctly.A place that I can't go back to.

This is the very first time I have ever left a review and it was awful ! place was filthy!! rooms smelled like smoke- requested a new room
for someone in our party and the room still had food in fridge and blood stain on pillow. toilets did not flush properly . I do not
think floors have ever been mopped, if you laid a towel
down they would be black!! Other people
requesting
money back for bugs crawling on beds but I never saw any of these. Breakfast or lack of one food item - one juice or coffee per person . Garbages overflowing in hall areas. some rooms in our party had no towels and when they asked you could have one per
person. The only think this place has going for it is that it is across the beach . please do not waste your money at this place like we did!

I don’t normally do reviews good or bad but here goes. The room smelled funny, floors were sticky. On a holiday weekend in a vacation town breakfast was from 8-10 and the area that he said was breakfast was a juice and coffee machine and a clear stand that may have held a few donuts and bagels. The mattress had terrible stains along the side, the lamp shades had dust and mild, the shower curtains had mold, there was only 1 towel and was cloth in my room that was reserved for 4 people. When we asked for more he said he has one more towel. This room was $350 per night and it should have only been $50. The staff was nice and professional however the room was the worst I’ve ever stayed at. The building itself is old but old is not the problem. It was the cleanliness that bothered me.

Took shoes off walked to bathroom and back got in bed and sand was all over my feet. From the little movement I made thru the night I dealt with this . In morning I took a shower and the water turned black from my feet . Brushed teeth and sink filled 3/4 up due to clog . Nail polish signature by guest on lamp shade , broken electrical sockets Phones don’t work . 1 towel for duel queen room . Killed a baby cockroach . Rented 4 rooms for me and friends for a fishing trip . All had issues with TVs I didn’t , one had no lightbulbs in lamps . 11:30 at night I called the Police after the Hotel Staff did nothing for the EXTREMELY LOUD music that honestly shock my chest as I laid in bed it was that loud .

You can do so much better for yourself ANYWHERE in Virginia Beach than to stay at this Hotel

This hotel is horrible! There’s mold everywhere in the rooms. Even on the lamp shades. No toiletries at all in the room. Only toilet paper. Not even a bar of soap. I asked for a second pillow and a blanket and the woman actually asked me how many people were sleeping in the room. It was only my husband and myself. They must be spraying daily for the mold because the smell is terrible! I had to leave the door open so I could get used to it. I would have said something about it all when we got there but there wasn’t much availability at a decent rate. It was still pretty expensive for an absolute dump! The floors were filthy, the towels were old, stained and thin. The door was covered in mold and I was afraid of touching it. We kept our luggage closed so our clothes didn’t smell like the room. The shower curtain was all stained as well with mold. Breakfast was a joke as well. Pkgs of muffins, yogurts, juice and coffee at the front check in desk. Also I think taking the elevator is risky too. It wouldn’t open at first until my husband jumped on the floor and then it opened. Don’t stay in this dump! Too many cutbacks and they don’t care!

The bathroom in the office was out of order. Apparently they serve breakfast here also. The elevator was disgusting. There was no ice machine on property. Our rooms smelled terrible. The lights didn't work because there were no light bulbs. The bed had sand and grit all over it. My buddy who got a different room said there was hair in his bed. We ended up not staying and getting a room somewhere else. This is probably the grossest place I have ever almost stayed. I'm totally fine with a place being cheap but it doesn't have to be disgusting.

The parking was great and the air conditioning/heater worked well. Very convenient to Chix and the water. The room was clean and the shower pressure was good and we had plenty of hot water. We did have a couple dirty towels and wash cloth so I’d suggest bring your own or get new ones from the office. The bathroom sink also was missing the spout so the water rushed out. More annoying than anything. Overall not a bad stay. I would not recommend this for a full family as it was just my 17 year old son and I. Worked out fine but be careful if you do bring little ones because the room next to ours one morning had a needle sitting on the air conditioner unit. Pretty gross considering. Overall 6/10 in my opinion

Smells like a hookah place or bar when you get inside like a bar. I thought it was no smoking? There is no hot water in the shower. Room wasn’t clean, found an empty box of Crumble cookie and a ball of hair on the floor like a cat is living there. I don’t think there is quality check or something towels are dirty and used, saw just a tissue roll carton and no soap. TV wasn’t working, Checked out the next day as it’s unbearable.

The front desk clerk was very rude and dismissive. My room had no phone, no coffee pot, no ice bucket. The bed was made with the flat sheet on top of the blanket and I had to remake it. The ice machine is located on the 1st floor in the electrical room that says personnel only. There was no lighting and not safe. Also I almost fell coming out of the stairway to the 1st floor there's a big step down with no signage to watch your step.

Don’t fall for a false upgrade!! It doesn’t exist!

The hotel is more of a motel, which is fine. It does the job of providing a comfortable bed in a nice cool environment. The pool was nice and clean, but there is NO shade!!! The umbrellas are all broken so it’s very hot!!!!
The bed frame was very loud because it was made out of metal, not really an issue. The room was nice and cold especially after coming back from a very hot Virginia Beach day in the sun. The bathroom was clean but the toilet had no flush power. Had to improvise by throwing extra water in there while flushing so it would go down.
Housekeeping never came, I asked for a change in towels after day 2 but they never came, like if they didn’t get the memo. We had to grab them while they were walking in front of our room to have them switch them out.
MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT is not with the hotel itself, but the hotels.com website that allows you to pay for an upgrade that DOES NOT exist. DO NOT fall for this scam. The standard room rate is either for a King or two doubles. They offered me an option that was for two queen beds instead of doubles at a higher rate which I paid and when I checked into the hotel they told me that they don’t even have that as an option in their hotel. So I ended up in the standard double/double room even though I paid extra to stay in a queen/queen room.
My friend and I both booked the same hotel on the same days but I paid more for the same exact thing she got because of the false upgrade hotels.com offers

This was a last minute decision and the only place that wasn’t sold out on a holiday weekend.
I’ll start with the cons
There’s so much potential for this place. It is in a great location just across the street from the beach. They need a better cleaning staff. Upon arrival there were random hairs on the toilet. The end tables are peeling. We stayed 2 nights and no one cleaned the room on the 2nd day. The sink drains extremely slow. The AC looks like someone was chewing on it, worked surprisingly well. The AC works so well we were freezing the first night. We requested an additional blanket through their text message app which we never received. Shower curtain had mold on the bottom. The breakfast is not a breakfast it’s more like snacks. The tv volume had to be at max in order to hear it.

Would not recommend this place

We were disappointed with the room. Gentleman at desk walked us to our room so he could spray deodorizer before we entered. Shower curtain had mold on it & floors were so dirty our feet were black. Husband had to locate housekeeping so we could get more towels (there was only 1 bath towel, 2 hand towels, 2 washcloths). Office was locked on several occasions that you were unable to get a cup of coffee. After talking to other visitors they all had the same complaints

Beware, Rude and disrespectful staff

The front office staff of this hotel is very rude and not very accommodating. The property itself is clean enough for what it is. Don’t expect anything over the top. As for the staff…housekeeping and maintenance were great. I’d give them 5 stars. The front office staff, not so much. I am a disabled veteran with a service dog. They demanded to see his paperwork. Look at the ADA.gov website…you cannot demand paperwork. He was in a vest, clearly labeled Service Dog. He was working and sitting calming by my side through all of the drama at the front desk…worse case, my wife and her friend were the ones staying here. My son and the dog were camping a few miles away. One of the evenings my wife was there, we witnessed the front staff in a verbal argument with another guest in the parking lot. Yelling and screaming, almost going to blows. Unprofessional, disrespectful and downright rude. Regardless, no one from my family will be staying here again, ever.

We asked for room service and they told us, you just checked in it won’t be clean in 3 days. We told them to clean it off because it was disgusting. They said room service will be in the morning. Came back and guess what they only clean the trash bag and changed the towels to more towels that is dirty. They keep claiming it was clean. The towel has poop stains on it. Never again. Left.

Absolutely Disgusting Do Not Stay Here

This place was an absolute nightmare. The photos online are completely misleading this hotel is filthy and run-down. From the moment we walked in, it was clear this was not what we were promised.

The front desk staff was incredibly rude. There were three of us, and they only provided two towels. When we asked for another, the man at the front desk acted like we were bothering him and flat-out refused at first. We had to press him just to explain how three people were supposed to share two towels and even then, he showed zero concern or courtesy.

The next day, we didn’t even get any wash rags they said they were “out.” How does a hotel run out of basic essentials?

This place is a complete catfish. The only reason we stayed both nights was because the stay was non-refundable. We couldn’t check out fast enough.

Save yourself the trouble I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone, not even my worst enemy.

The first impression of the property was that they were unwillingly to accommodate a request for late check out after I was given the option to select this as an add-on. However they did allow one extra hour. Second impression was that the room had an odor as if it was a smoking room. Next was the excessive noise directly outside of our room while we were sleeping. Next was that housekeeping entered the room while we were still getting ready to leave without waiting for us to open the door after the agreed upon extra hour. Lastly, I brought it to their attention the possibility of bed bugs being on one of the beds and took pictures. I was offered a partial refund because I “didn’t address my concerns immediately.” Which is a total lie because I addressed every concern as they came up and was told management would contact me to reach a further resolution such as a full refund. I was never contacted. I highly recommend finding somewhere else to stay.
