SureStay Hotel by Best Western Virginia Beach Royal Clipper
We did not do the breakfast. Room was clean. Staff was very nice and knowledgeable. Parking was fine. It was difficult using the luggage cart because we had to lift it up the curb and entry into the room.

Ocean Resort
We had a little trouble at first, WiFi wouldn’t work, TV was not working a few other minor things. My wife called down and talked to Chris and he immediately switched our room no problem. We will definitely stay again.
