We went there for my birthday. Our room was dirty outlet cover was off but things was plugged in thank god our children wasn't with us they are small and thats dangerous. Microwave had a short in the cord wires was showing and was sparkling. The tv you could hardly see its old and no cable. The blankets was dirty and thin and very rough feeling. The room next door had a Bluetooth speaker and played music so loud all night long the bass shook the walls nothing was done about it wass are paper then and we went even talk about the pot small all though the hotel worst stay ever i should pictures to front desk as i was leaving she wrote everything down.

Beach view is great no complaints

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

Overall will not be returning

Beach view was amazing. Staff were friendly. The rooms could have been cleaner but it was not an issue. Would be great if they served breakfast but I understand why they don’t, there isn’t room for a kitchen. We would stay here again if we needed to, it was a decent stay on a budget.

Bed sheets dirty, outlets didn’t hold to charge, pillow and bed very uncomfortable that caused back and neck pain. Outdated look and seemed more like a motel.

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.

The hotel is in a very good location. Close to restaurants and some shops. Unfortunately the facility had no hot water, outlets were very outdated and hanging off the wall. Curtains were falling off and we had to tie it together to keep it from falling. I would stay there, but come prepared to deal with this misfortunes.

The water was not hot. The showers never reached a hot temperature, it was luke warm and the water in the tub did not drain properly, leaving water filling up to your ankles while taking a shower. Because of this, we did not take a shower our second day and just waiting until we got home. Above the bed was a wet/mold spot on the ceiling with paint chipping at that spot. Front desk was nice and helpful, the ocean view was beautiful and the bed was comfortable. Yes, the hotel is outdated but overall the stay was good.

I chose the Ocean Resort primarily for the price point. While I wasn't expecting 5-star luxury, I was still surprised by how run-down the property has become. It’s a bit of a heartbreak because the hotel has so much going for it, but the lack of maintenance makes it hard to recommend.

The Good:

The View & Balcony: Honestly, the highlight of the stay. The views are incredible and the balcony was a great spot to relax.

Room Size: The rooms themselves are quite large and spacious.

The Staff: Everyone I encountered was very friendly and professional.

The Not-So-Good:

General Upkeep: The hotel feels very sparsely kept. There is chipped paint everywhere and the decor is incredibly dated—the pictures on the walls were so old they had actually lost their color.

Room Details: The microwave was ancient, the box spring didn't have a cover, and the \"pillows\" were essentially the size of small throw pillows.

The Bathroom: Very small and lacked basic maintenance/deep cleaning.

The Pool: We actually avoided using the pool area entirely because it just didn't feel clean or inviting.

Verdict: A fresh coat of paint, updated decor, and a much more rigorous cleaning schedule would go a long way here. The location and bones of the building are great, but until some basic investments are made into the guest experience, I won’t be returning.

Stayed three nights, no hot water. Therefore no showers.
Told where to park as their parking was full, we were towed and cost 211.00. no extra amenities on site.
Beds were comfortable, view was great in. Eight floor balcony if ocean and it had good access to resteraunts and boardwalk.

the resort was clean and located right on the ocean. the room was large enough and the beds and pillows were very comfortable; parking was tight and i had to drive across the street and park behind an unlit building to park my car...it was late at night with two little kids. A little scary. biggest concern was i lost my driver's license a few days earlier and didn't have replacement one yet; and even though t had 14 other types of i.d. they were going to turn me away with my little girls close to midnight; they really should have been more reasonable because i would have been stranded.

It is true that the building itself seem old, however, the room is clean (i have not seen a single cockroach or ant). The bathroom have the disability features for a walk in shower and a large over the commode seat if needed. The shower though needed some plumbing, it had been dripping even the faucet is off. Also the sink had some leaks below it. Nevertheless, the room is clean, smells decent. They also have a nice water dispenser, coffee maker with different choices. And friendly staff when we were there. With the rate we booked it on that weekend, it was affordable and practical to be an oceanfront old hotel.

The young man who checked me in was excellent. The room was the issue. The sink was clogged when we got there at 7:00, only half of the lock was there for the security lock, there was only one washcloth in the room and it was booked for 2 people I'm also sure there was suppose to be a chair in that room.

The hotel is outdated at best, the pictures online are not current. There were significant reliability issues with the \"high speed internet.\" There were some security concerns with the stairwell doors that did not stay latched/locked to prevent entry from outside.
Only 1 elevator was working and was very slow.

All staff were helpful, courteous and professional.

5/5 — Excellent stay. The room was very clean from top to bottom, and everything felt well cared for. The bathroom was spotless, all of the soaps were full, and there were plenty of towels and toilet paper provided, which made the stay very comfortable.

The beds were clean and comfortable, and I slept great. One of the best parts was the balcony view from the sixth floor — it was a really nice bonus and made the stay feel relaxing and enjoyable. The free coffee machine was also delicious, and the convenience store attached to the building was very nice for picking up last-minute essentials.

The only minor issues were a slow clog in the bathroom drain and the juice machines being empty throughout my stay. Other than that, everything was excellent, and I would absolutely stay here again.

We have stayed here multiple times and have enjoyed our experience. But the last few times we've seen a trend of guests smoking on the balconies wether it be cigarettes or other substances which can be smelled in adjacent rooms. It's plainly stated no smoking and I know it's hard for front desk employees to police this problem but maybe making a greater effort this very plain verbally to guests. Otherwise we love the location and amenities, staff is always very nice and accommodating.
