La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Virginia Beach

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Virginia Beach

10/10 Excellent
"The staff here went above and beyond to help me and my kids after the nightmare we went through with a neiboring property. The woman who checked me in (dark skinned with glasses) I'm sorry I forgot her name - was an ANGEL! She took care of us quickly and was so warm and welcoming to us - so we could unwind after our 6.5 hour drive. The woman who works overnights helped my kids dad when he got in, and shared some laughs with him too. I would 100% stay here again. Pool was clean. Snacks were great. Coffee available all day (LOVE) and walking distance to beach and supermarket. Comfortable rooms, updated and quiet at night! LOVE!"

"Loved the location of the hotel to the beach, enjoyed the Catch 31 restaurant and the indoor pool. I did feel that the guest bathroom needed upgrades especially the shower. In addition, the TV guide service is outdated."
