The hotel needs to be updated. The room seemed clean enough, just dated, the safe didn't work, the curtains were falling on one side so the room let light in every day , the AC was kinda loud. The there were two ladies upon check in that were great snd a young man a little later in the afternoon that were all just awesome. The owners really need to update things or possibly a bigger renovation.

The hallway on the 5th floor was very hot. Moths were in our room. My husband killed 3, including a wasp! no our door was closed at all times! We asked the front desk girl early morning with tattoos what the address was so we could get a Uber...she DIDN'T KNOW! WOW!! The pool was clean but the pipes and walls were very dirty, disgusting! Did not offer breakfast. We will never stay there again!!!

This property is NOT the experience they post online. The property itself is a disgrace, mold spots all over the ceilings, old disgusting furniture, the mattress legit had a DIP in there center. I started sneezing and wheezing from the minute I checked into the property. Addressed it with staff and they said there was nothing they could do, waited 3 hours for a Manager to get back to me, before I finally checked out and found a new hotel. I contacted Hotels.com to remedy the situation and they ensured the Manager would make it right. I still have yet to hear anything. I simply ask for a refund, and if this is for a Family vacation STEAR CLEAR of this place. I took plenty of pictures and plan to continue to escalate this until it's made Right!!!

The staff was very friendly and the balcony was nice but other than that it was terrible. The room was so old, out dated, smelled bad and felt gross. The sheets very clean but other than that there was a leak coming from the ceiling, the shower & bath tub were dirty and dingy and things were falling apart. I guess it’s what you pay for but I would strongly discourage you from staying here. You will likely regret it.

Great views.of the beach and waterfront. Hotel needs updating for price paid. Online pictures are deceiving and dont portray actual hotel looks inside and out. Amenities were scarce and difficult to get clean towels. Understaffed. No smoking policies on balconies or rooms were not enforced and could smell Marijuana during all hours. Great outdoor things and restaurants along the boardwalk.

The stay was just okay. There was no room cleaning during our entire five-day stay. Management claimed they are still following COVID-19 protocols, meaning we had to replace our own towels and empty our own trash. Additionally, there was an unknown man sleeping on the lobby couch on Monday between 5:00 AM and 8:00 AM, and it was unclear if he belonged to the staff. This raised some safety concerns.

This is a nice, obviously older, and a bit out dated property. There is no breakfast or lots of amenities. Having said that, all rooms are ocean facing, it is right in the boardwalk, it’s clean, and the staff are helpful.
The cost is reflective of all this, so if you are there to be close to the beach, in walking distance of decent restaurants, and to spend your money on the sights and restaurants, not a super fancy motel- this is the place for you.
I would note one thing that I definitely did not like, the balconies are all attached to each other, so if someone wanted to, it would be easy for them to come on to your balcony. For this reason, we made sure to always keep the door locked if we weren’t on the balcony. I’d keep in mind if I were traveling alone.

Air conditioning BARLEY worked. We had it set to 63 and it felt like 70! Tried taking a nice hot shower. Oh wait, that's right they DON'T have ANY hot water. Their water feels like outdoor rain its so cold. Says it's a resort but I never saw a restaurant inside. Water has day old fruit floating in it for flavor but the strawberries looked moldy. Only good thing I can say about this place is that there were thankfully NO bedbugs! Not worth the money paid. Next time I'll pay a little extra to go to the Holiday Inn Express!

You need to know that this place is a dump (peeling paint, bad repair jobs, weird stains, threadbare towels, etc). I knew that. I've stayed there a few times. I'm probably done there. Why do I keep going back? The location is prime, and it's one of the cheapest places on the boardwalk. So if you like to save money and you're not too fussy, this place may be for you. It's right on the boardwalk, and the AC works.

The bathtub wouldn’t drain. The beds were dirty and the linens made us itchy. We booked a room with two queen beds, but were given full size instead. Upon nicely bringing to their attention, we were gaslighted and told they were queens. The lamp plug ins were broken. Most of the television channels didn’t work. WiFi was crap. The ice machines were down. There are ridiculous rules to use the pool.

The room was in fact not what was advertised and the pictures did not match the actual integrity of the room. We actually decided to make reservations at a different hotel after the first night and left. They initially had our room stay dates wrong, regardless of all the information I provided from Expedia. There was what we suspected was black mold on the ceiling and we made a point to mention that to front desk staff. The pillows were not full-sized pillows, literally just square bags of fluff. Couch and carpet was stained and ripped, cracks along the walls and ceiling, and the bathroom was so small that the door almost touched the toilet and my husband barely fit in the shower, which we also suspected to have black mold. We were supposed to stay three nights and we only stayed one. We mentioned all the above to the front desk staff at checkout and made sure to let them know that we were leaving because of poor conditions.

The location is perfect, the staff is courteous and responsive, but the facility is tired and in need of refurbishing. The door to our bathroom could not be opened all the way because it would collide with the front of the toilet bowl. Sort of off-putting.

Also, the parking lot is inadequate when the hotel is near full occupancy. The overflow parking is in a backlot up a side street across from the hotel and so somewhat inconvenient.

Well the stay was average but our truck topper got stolen right off our truck the first night. No cameras in parking lot. Made police report but nothing could be done. Our advice would park in front or where people cannot stay hidden. That soured our trip big time. Facilities were adequate but by no means resort quality!!!! It was clean but dated. So for the penny saver this would be the place. I give them 3 stars or a C grade. Lots of improvements to be made but has potential. Love from Minnesota a Military family.

Hotel 2-3 star. Front desk staff helpful but no room service for towels etc due to poor staffing. Fruit water in lobby was awesome- appreciated that!! VA Beach as a destination was disappointing. Would not return. Loud, food mediocre at best but expensive, understaffed everywhere and the staff at every location were not friendly ( except hotel), did not feel safe in VA Beach. Curfews imposed due to recent violence. Sad. The ocean was beautiful though!

Overall, the experience was okay, but there were several issues that would make me think twice about staying again.
The location right on the beach was excellent, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The attached store was also convenient and reasonably priced.
However, there were several issues. The first two rooms we were shown had small flying bugs on the walls, so we had to switch. The room we stayed in was basic and mostly clean, but had a strong “wet dog” smell that didn’t go away. The carpet needs replacing.
The balcony setup lacks privacy—there are no dividers, so you can see and easily access neighboring balconies, which felt uncomfortable. The walls are very thin, and loud neighbors one night made it hard to sleep.
The room had a desk but no chair, which was odd. The pool area was not usable in my opinion—it didn’t appear clean, had heavy condensation, and water covered much of the seating area.
Parking was also difficult, and we had to use overflow parking across the street the entire stay.
I have lower expectations for oceanfront hotels, which is why I’m giving 3 stars. Otherwise, it would be closer to 1–2.

Air conditioning was horrible room didn't get cool at all had to sleep with balcony door open (April)

Staff was extremely rude after requesting towels multiple times and having to go get them myself house keeping showed up while I was in the shower banging on the door like they were the police mind you the beach was on lock down with a mandatory curfew due to the high crime going on in Virginia Beach I had to jump out of the shower with only a hand towel thinking it was a emergency all for the housekeeper to be extremely rude explaining this was the second time she had to return to the room! Made a complaint at the front desk to her manager... she continued to tell at me in front of other guest and her boss

Room never got cleaned trash never taken out no shampoo conditioner or hand soap in the room no toilet paper had to use tissues until my child had to go get toilet paper from the front desk

When attempting to go to the pool we were told it was closed due to maintenance after meeting with friends we used their pool later on when we returned the pool WAS in use but was extremely dirty showers not working old and run down definitely needs done upgrading

PARKING TERRIBLE hardly any spots in the parking lot you have to park down a dark alley way while lugging your luggage across the street

The view was great, it was right on the beach. The cleanliness was terrible. I don’t believe the bedding had been changed on one of the beds, as it still had blue candy stuck all over it. The bathroom was terrible and the shower definitely had not been cleaned. Exposed wires on ceiling, a smashed up bathroom door, and a leaking fridge. This is not what we were expecting after reading the reviews. Very disappointing.

The body soap dispenser in the bathroom was empty. As for the shampoo and conditioner, it was impossible to tell what was actually inside them. The building itself is old, and the walls were peeling in places. The staff at the front desk seemed reluctant to refill the water and coffee provided in the lobby area. I was shocked when someone on an upper floor threw a water bottle down to the ground below! I’m just relieved that no one was injured.

This hotel could use some detailed touches everywhere BUT it was clean where it mattered and the staff was very nice and helpful! The beds were comfy. The room was very spacious too. Sink and large counter area with the fridge and microwave.
The pool was so cold you couldn't get in it sadly. The coffee pot is pods (taste terrible) They should keep actual coffee pot makers in storage for people who want a pot of coffee. HUGE hit if you'd offer free fresh fruit and/or a popcorn machine in the lobby. When you get your parking spot I suggest you don't move your car you will lose it. But there is another parking lot across the street.
