"Everything was great from checking in to check out. The desk clerk, rather clerks, were helpful, and very friendly. All staff we encountered during our stay were friendly. Our room was on the fifth floor. The hallway was clean and so fresh smelling. The oceanfront view was excellent. We felt safe and well cared for the continental breakfast was good and staff was again excellent. we do plan to return again."

Ocean Resort

8/10 Good
"I checked in late to the Ocean Resort and they were more than happy to accommodate. The person who met me around 1 AM was still smiling and happy unlike some places where the employees are drowsy and less attentive. My one downside to this entire stay came upfront. There was no parking available at the property when I pulled in. The lot was full, so they gave me a pass to hang from my rearview mirror and had me park a half a block away behind a building. The following morning, I was the only vehicle in this area and it didn’t look like it was the best neighborhood by daylight. As for the hotel itself, the views are great. The rooms are what you would expect for the price. There’s a small coffee maker in the lobby and they have fruit flavored water if you forgot your beach stuff or suddenly need more. There is a store attached to the hotel so you can walk into your flip-flops straight from your lobby into the beach shop, which is nice. All in all I would stay here again."

"Great hotel to stay at, especially if you are with a family, and even if you are not with one! There are separate pool areas for families, and folks that are over 21, so you can have it the way you like it. I stayed in a one bedroom and was very impressed by the size of the suite. While you could tell the property was older, everything was clean and well maintained. The beach is also RIGHT THERE, and there's tons of good food all in walking distance. Parking is a walk from the hotel, but otherwise very easy and convenient. I would stay again!"

"Good stay; clean, quiet and comfortable room. Only drawback was a leaky air conditioning unit. Staff put down extra towels to absorb the moisture. Property is in the process of replacing old air conditioning units, so problem will be fixed shortly. Very nice property with a great staff, in close proximity to Cape Charles"
