"This is not a new hotel, so don't expect perfection. But is is a comfortable hotel, We had an ocean view room, and I loved sitting on the balcony early morning and evening and watching the dolphins play. Since the hotel is slightly away from the main drag, the beach had a more private feel. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious, as were the drinks. Everything is close - most within walking distance. If we go back to Virginia Beach, this is where we will be staying."

"We stay here almost every time we come to Virginia Beach. They renovated the hotel a few years back and it looked great. This time we noticed the bathroom wasn’t as clean as usual. We also had to run over to Walgreens to buy some Febreze because the room had a musty odor when we arrived. Hopefully they will fix this issue. Also, we had a king size bed but it looked like they put queen size sheets and top on it. They didn’t cover the bed too well. Despite all of this, we enjoyed our stay and will be back in April!"
