Moxy Virginia Beach Oceanfront

"Room was clean and comfortable. The ocean view was amazing"

Hilton Vacation Club Ocean Beach Club Virginia Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Les installations sont parfaites,l'endroit aussi,j'aurais apprécié que le ménage soit fait au moins une fois dans nos 4 nuits et les serviettes changées, c'est nous qui sommes allés en chercher d'autres et comme nous étions à la plage ,il y a eu un peu de sable sur le plancher"

Sandcastle Resort On The Beach

8/10 Good

"Decent breakfast (pancakes, hard boiled eggs, bagels and cream cheese, toast, yogurt, cereal, juices, and fruit). Room was clean, beds comfortable and great view of the beach. Heated indoor pool and kiddie pool. Free covered parking. Staff was great. Only complaint was only one elevator was working."

The Barclay Towers Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Hampton Inn Virginia Beach-Oceanfront South

10/10 Excellent

"Valuable place"

Days Inn by Wyndham Virginia Beach At The Beach

8/10 Good

"Before our arrival, I called to request a non-smoking room on a higher floor and away from the elevators, as I was traveling with my wife, who was 35 weeks pregnant, and our 3-year-old son. At check-in, we were assigned Room 121 on the ground floor because the available rooms on the higher floors required a long walk from the elevator, while the nearby stairs were not practical for my wife at this stage of pregnancy. Unfortunately, Room 121, particularly the bathroom, had a strong cigarette smell despite being designated as non-smoking. I reported the issue to the front desk, and Sincere was incredibly courteous and helpful. He promptly arranged for maintenance to inspect the room, and after confirming the issue, they helped us look at two other rooms. We ultimately moved to Room 122, which was a significant improvement. It was cleaner, smelled fresh, had a better refrigerator and TV, and overall felt much more comfortable. Breakfast was good, and our stay ended up being a pleasant one. Special thanks to Sincere and the maintenance staff for taking our concerns seriously and making sure my pregnant wife and our family were comfortable throughout our stay. Their kindness and excellent service made a real difference."
