I was a bit disappointed with my stay. While the gentleman at the front desk was kind, being asked multiple times if i was staying alone (despite my reservation stating this) was uncomfortable as a woman traveler.

The room definitely had some maintenance needs. There was a hole in the ceiling next to the light by the shower, cabinets were mismatched and in disrepair. There was mold in the living area being blocked by a chair. The dresser had a drawer that didnt close and the inside was dirty as well.The hallway to the entrance of my room was dirty. This among other small grievences point to a lack of attention to detail as far as general upkeep.

Normally I would not complain, and despite understanding inflating prices, for close to $300 for one night, all of these issues made for an incredibly uncomfortable stay. I will not be returning or recommending I'm afraid.

We had a decent stay. The hotel is budget-friendly for a family of five, so we knew what to expect. We especially enjoyed the beachfront location and how easy it was to get to the beach—that’s what made us book this hotel in the first place. The place felt somewhat worn and could use some maintenance and renovations.

The photos on their site do not much the quality of their rooms. There were several stains on the bed sheets and the floor was not cleaned. The lock to our room was broken and so was the balcony lock. I have a severely autistic child and he eloped out of the room. The balcony railing is made of PVC pipe and is not even secured on to the wall ; it’s super wobbly. We did not expect too tier service but thought we would have a safe space for our children. We asked for a refund for our remaining stay since we no longer felt safe or comfortable and the management did not want to accommodate our request. Despite us mentioning our safety concerns for our children. If you have a family member with disabilities or children I do not recommend staying here. 0/10

Typical local beach hotel that’s heavily used. Younger kid cleaning upon arrival was super helpful and nice. He got us a cart and took our bags to the room. He went out of his way even though we could tell he was super busy mopping floors. Room was fine- bed was uncomfortable. Only large issue was pool was not in service. It was posted online with pictures when we booked. By the time we got there, they took it off the website and told me I didn’t see pool pictures. I asked for partial refund and was denied.

Do not stay here. If you drive anything larger than a normal SUV you are in for a challenge. Parking is tight and very limited. While room appeared clean there was not much too it despite it supposed to be a king suite. Turns out it had 2 full beds. While that worked for us not what we booked. Bedroom window leaked. Bedroom had NO furniture. So all your stuff is on the floor or lin the living room. Bathroom toilet paper holder was already broke. Breaker panel taped shut. Diverter in the shower didn't seal so you didn't have full water pressure. NO service. Most other places at least take your trash and change your towels every other day. This place only did on our last day because we saw the cleaner next door. Location is not bad but the facility is basic. Needed towels after 1st day. Went to the desk with our used ones. They could only give us 2. Then instruct me to take the used ones to the laundry across the small parking garage. Don't believe thr Hotels reviews on 10 out of 10. No way they are legit given out experience. We did not check out the pool. The phone in the room had no cord at all so it was useless if you needed it.

The room's size and beachfront location were its only redeeming qualities; unfortunately, the stay was far from enjoyable. Several issues detracted from the experience. My roommate had to endure a cold shower due to faulty knobs. When I contacted the office, their response was unhelpful, indicating that maintenance would not be available until 8 AM the following morning. Furthermore, the bed was exceptionally uncomfortable and noisy, giving the impression it was on the verge of breaking. Given that we were only staying for one night, I eagerly anticipated our departure the next morning.

I was very disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The cleanliness was unacceptable—the sheets were visibly stained, and the floors looked like they hadn’t been properly cleaned. The furniture in the room, especially the couch and chair, were in poor condition and clearly need to be upgraded. They had multiple stains, which made the living area uncomfortable and unusable for us.

Overall, the condition of the room did not meet basic standards, and it prevented us from fully enjoying our stay. Major improvements are needed.

The reason we booked the hotel was because of the indoor pool, when we checked in they never said anything about the pool being closed, when we went up to swim, they said the pool was closed and asked us if we could see that when we didn’t even get out the door. The whole reason we booked with them was for the indoor pool and the convenience of the beach.

Great beach view, so if Virginia Beach is your scene, then maybe this is your hotel. The beds are small, but decently comfortable.

Staff was actively mopping and trying to keep the halls clean, which I’m sure is no small task next to the beach. It looks like the rooms were recently updated. The indoor pool was drained and not available.

It’s not the hotel’s fault that there were drunk people arguing in the parking lot. I’m not sure if the dozens of police in the street made me feel more or less safe.

A third-world hotel experience without leaving the US!

Half of our group checked out before spending a night there because the rooms were filthy and/or basic items like the shower were not functional (bare pipes sticking out of the wall). The smell of weed permeates everything (simply using the elevator is enough to give you the munchies). While my room was relatively clean-ish, it had obviously been occupied by a group that had been enjoying spring break there, as there was a lot of literature left over about it, and because the room absolutely reeked of vomit. In an effort to air the room out, I opened the door to the balcony (one of the panes in the double-pane sliding door had been shattered and 'cleverly concealed' with black duct tape). While the 'airing out process' did nothing to alleviate the smell, it did attract a large quantity of flies.

I did manage to spend three nights there, a fact that I am oddly proud of. Having said that, I was the only one of my group to do so, and I certainly would not recommend it.

The main takeaway is that the hotel's owners are completely without conscience. To charge anyone to stay in that place is bordering on the criminal... speaking of which, two of my three nights also featured loud domestic disputes in the rooms around me.

To say I wouldn't recommend staying here would be an understatement.

This is an older hotel with attempt at remodel into a resort. The staff, which I assume to be the owner was standoffish. The parking was tight and we were in a regular sized car. The hallway was dingy with broken tile and flickering lights. The unit we stayed in had a broken security lock- like it had been breached before. The beds were not plush or comfortable, it was a looonnnngggg night. It appears that they bought the hotel, change out countertops and painted with flat paint. There was dust in the corners, the bathtub dripped constant. I checked in at 7 that night and checked out before sunrise the next morning. I am an avid beachgoer and didn't even stay long enough to see it while oceanfront. For 200 dollars a night at this time of year I would have expected better for sure. I would not recommend it. I guess with summer coming guests who pay higher prices will NOT be satisfied with their stay

We arrived around 11 p.m. there was a sign on th door that they had stepped out, but to call and a number was provided. I can the cell phone number listed on the door several times and the hotel number with no answer. Finally someone returned my call and I let them know we were trying to check in. Each room had a window facing out towards the hallway. The blinds don’t fully cover the window and there are no curtains. We had to cover the window with a blanket we had from home. When we walked into our hotel room the floor around the toilet was covered in water. It would not flush properly either. We have five guest, but only four towels and wash clothes. No hand towels. We also only had pillows for four out of the five of us. The sofa had sheets, but they were dirty. There was no throw blanket or comforter for warmth. The air does not reach back into the bedroom area. You burn up in there at night, but freeze in the living room on the sleeper sofa. We told staff the toilet did not flush properly, sheets needed changed, and another pillow. At first they said they didn’t have anymore sheets or pillows. When I said, “well there are five of us and four pillows and the sheets are dirty!” They were able to give us sheets and ONE more pillow. We called about the toilet trying to get it fixed. They ended up moving us next door which was a room in much better condition. The shower did drip though and soaked the floor the 3rd morning. The pool was empty and elevator broken. ICE 7th floor

There is no way anyone should ever stay at this location. Travelocity should stop doing business with them. When I arrived, they only had 2 choices of rooms. Room 1 was dirty, trash in the room, dirty gloves on the bed, a zero-star room. I changed rooms at the front desk, and room 2 had a sliding glass door (oceanfront) which could not be closed so flies were in the room, and the smoke alarm was beeping every 30 seconds. No battery, it was hardwired, so no way to stop the beeping. After going to the front desk, I was told there were no more rooms available, despite there only being 3 cars in the parking lot. I was unable to check in, so had to find a different hotel nearby. This is the room that you hope your kids dont stay at for senior week. What a waste. Hopefully Travelocity will give a refund since I wasnt able to stay there, and the hotel clerk told me there was nothing he could do since I booked through Travelocity. What a waste.

Do not recommend. While it is on the oceanfront, that's the only benefit. As soon as we checked in, he made us aware the elevator was broke and it seems it's been that way. Then low hot water pressure.
We got to the room, tv was on and we found out the remote was missing. Also no shower curtain, took a whole day to get one. The room was old, and needed severe upgrading. The only reason we stayed was because it thankfully was clean. I refused to use the couch as it looked super dirty. Also no ventilation in the bedroom and the vent looked horrible.
Last morning we had to skip showers as no hot water. We won't be revisiting.

My stay at Sun and Sand Resort Oceanfront Suites in Virginia Beach was unfortunately very disappointing. When we arrived, the first room we were given had a bathtub faucet that ran nonstop. The water was so loud that there was no way we could sleep in that room. Because of that, we had to be moved, and we did not end up in the room type we originally booked.

The room we were moved to still had several issues. The walls were dirty and noticeably scuffed, and the overall space felt like it had not been cleaned well. During our stay, the room was never refreshed or serviced, which made it feel even less comfortable. The balcony door was also a problem. It either would not close completely or was extremely difficult to open, which made it feel unsafe and frustrating.

What concerned me most was the condition of the common areas. A bag of trash sat in the hallway for our entire three day stay. It was there when we checked in and it was still sitting there when we checked out. Seeing garbage left out like that for days made the hotel feel neglected and poorly managed.

I had hoped for a pleasant oceanfront stay, but the level of cleanliness and maintenance was far below what I expected. I truly hope the property improves these issues for future guests.

There was no AC in the bedroom and was very hot! The window in the bedroom was to the hall with a light that stayed on all night! Even with the blinds closed it was WAY too much light for a bedroom!! When in the hall it felt sketchy, almost dangerous. I don’t think it was. The indoor pool was closed despite what it said on the website.

Worth it! Great price point, great location, a gem

I wasn’t quite sure how this place would be due to the mixed reviews that I had read, but my family was pleasantly surprised by how great of a stay we had. The price point for a beachfront hotel on the boardwalk can’t be beat and is its best selling point. Our room was clean and overall was a comfortable stay. The hotel is rather small and parking garage parking was a bit of a tight fit, however, there is public parking nearby and was easy enough to get to if needed. The one drawback would definitely be the hard-to-open door to the balcony. It was able to be opened but you really had to pull that sucker to get it to move anywhere. We were constantly afraid of breaking it. Also, the shower’s hot water was so hot that it was completely unbearable for more than a few seconds and there was no adjusting it. Overall, we LOVED our stay! It was the perfect location, right in the middle of the excitement, right on the beach, and a price point that couldn’t be beat. Our room was on the 6th floor which was the sweet spot I do believe. We definitely plan to return for future family vacations!

Sea and Sand Hotel – Great Location, Fair Price

We recently stayed at the Sea and Sand Hotel in Virginia Beach, and overall, it was a solid experience – especially for the price.

Pros:

Amazing oceanfront views from every room, each with a patio or balcony.

Fantastic location – right in the heart of VA Beach near shops, restaurants, and the boardwalk.

Affordable compared to nearby hotels.

Room had two TVs, a good work desk with lighting, strong water pressure, and powerful AC.

Free WiFi, fast elevator, and stunning views from the 8th-floor pool and deck.

Staff was very friendly – seems like a family-run hotel.

Cons:

The hotel is older and definitely shows its age.

Room was mostly clean, but there were small signs of mold in the bathroom and it could use a deeper cleaning.

No tub plug, and the pool was cold, low on water, with a broken ladder step.

Bottom line: If you know what to expect – an older but well-located property – it’s a great value. Not as bad as some reviews say. We'd stay again for the view, price, and location.

The beach front, short walk to the beach, and the boardwalk were the best. The jets overhead were unpleasantly loud but, can't do anything about that. Staff were very helpful and prompt.

You get what you pay for. Upgrades are definitely needed but the staff was super friendly and accommodating.

Entry door locks broken on two assigned rooms, floors were wet upon entry to room, sliding glass door would not close, locks on sliding door broken, rolling chair arm fell off with bolt into floor, bed was very hard, only one tv remote for two tvs, no channel guide anywhere. AC worked well, manager was gracious when switching our room due to broken locks on doors.

The place was clean as expected. Services were poor, slow, and often forgotten. Like most hotels it is located at the boradwalk, so it provides easy access to the beach and it is close to many shops. overall, it will never be my first choice, but if nothing else is available, it would use it again because I know what I am getting into.

Both Tv was broke, slider door was broken, mold all over, smelled horrible, no ice, no coffee, vending machines where broken and empty, pool was nasty and half full, shower was only scrollding hot not cold water so couldn’t take a shower, parking was a joke, coffee pot in room they offered was still full from last tenants and was moldy and smelled, no remotes for either tv, shades didn’t work, fridge didn’t work and lights in room only half worked. Only good thing was the view and super close to everything but other then that it was all a joke and definitely not worth 200 a night by any means

This place was an absolute mess of a property. The women at the front desk was poorly spoken. They preach that they will try to fix any issues that come about however my boyfriend and I’s room was dirty, the shower knob broke off, the women at the front checked someone else into our room. My boyfriend and I were both in towels and complete strangers walked into our room claiming that we weren’t supposed to be there. Our balcony didn’t lock, the walls were dirty, I could go on and on. The area around the hotel wasn’t bad it was very clean however the rooms were just god awful.
