- CMChris McCartneyOct 19, 20255.0Great view! The staff was friendly.
- BKBubba KelleyOct 19, 20253.0Terrible parking, no valet, the entire stay had to park down the street, staff all seems “put out” anytime you ask a question or needed towels. 1st 2 days room service never came, which I understand a lot of hotels have cut back so I went to the front desk requested it, the next day I was still in the room when room service came up i said I was “getting ready to leave”. I asked if they could come back in a little bit, the lady yelled at me and said I’ll come back when I can. I can’t guarantee it….. well, the rooms are very nice. It is offset by the staff and lack of amenities here as well as the professionalism. I typically stay at Marriot’s when I come down here and I’ll probably go back to staying at Marriot‘s even though they’re a little more expensive.
- RMRoland MayerOct 17, 20255.0Friendly welcome from nice staff, beautiful clean rooms with fantastic views, small balcony. Tastefully decorated restaurant with a rich, appetizing breakfast buffet and friendly server. Lots of activities nearby. Just right for a relaxing vacation. We'll be back.
- JEJordan E.BOct 8, 20255.0Can't beat being oceanfront and by all of the main tourist establishments. Everyone was nice and the rooms were clean. The restaurant in the hotel was a little slow, but the food was good. Close to Norfolk and Chesapeake as well to explore. Overall was a good hotel that fits all the needs for a long weekend.
- JJJosieSep 29, 20255.0Great location along the Virginia Beach boardwalk. The common areas are kept frigid, though. I would have liked to sit at their bar & restaurant at some point, but it was way too cold.
